Really excited to work with Anna and the entire team at the Globe on this project!

The Globe heard from 370 researchers in Mass. who receive funding from the NIH. Their experiences reflect a sobering new reality. The Trump administration’s policies have threatened the state’s biomedical research, its economy – and the fight against major diseases.

The Boston Globe reached out to nearly 4,000 NIH funded scientists across Massachusetts, long a cradle of the world’s cutting-edge science, to ask about the impact of federal funding cuts. Here's what we found, with @massincpolling.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/09/m...

It is a true pleasure to celebrate these outstanding #scicomm innovators, who engage on everything from whale farts to vaccine safety. Highly recommend clicking through & following their feeds 🎉 A huge thank you to @scicommexcellence.nationalacademies.org @nationalacademies.org too!

Do healthy adults still need annual boosters? Here's what the science says amid conflicting recommendations. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/03/m...

Kudos to @chrisserres.bsky.social for this gorgeous, revelatory profile of @harvard.edu scientist Kseniia Petrova. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/23/n...

A must read today by @kaylazar.bsky.social in @bostonglobe.com. She so clearly illustrates the role of federal funding in medical breakthroughs and why cuts to that funding-- including the near total freeze on federal grants to Harvard -- endanger all of us. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/08/m...

Three great reads from @bostonglobe.com and @statnews.com today, featuring @craigspencer.bsky.social @chrisserres.bsky.social @britshmit.bsky.social @meganranney.bsky.social 1. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/16/m...

“I‘ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this,” said US District Court Judge William Young. “Is it true of our society as a whole? Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/16/m...

Four immigration law experts told The Boston Globe that the smuggling charge is unlikely to be sustained in court and could be a pressure tactic to compel Petrova to leave the country voluntarily. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/22/m...

Today the Trump administration terminated nearly all of Harvard Medical School's federal grants, bringing the total amount of Harvard funding slashed to nearly $3 billion h/t @kaylazar.bsky.social @chrisserres.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/16/m...

@bostonglobe.com tracked cancelled research grants across New England with help from @scott-delaney.bsky.social and colleagues. Thanks to @gashina.bsky.social @lizkowalczyk.bsky.social and team! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/30/m...

Are you graduating this spring and changed your post-grad plans due to the Trump administration’s actions? Have you recently decided to apply to law school? We want to hear from you for a @bostonglobe.com story! If this is you, please fill out this survey: forms.gle/1JARhxEdi77t...

Coming soon from @globespotlight.bsky.social: Snitch City. This is the story of every American city enmeshed in the war on drugs. It’s about a deeply flawed system, the flawed people working within it, and the injustices that can occur when no one’s watching.

State departments of public health and community health clinics have received strongly worded demands from Washington to “immediately terminate, to the maximum extent, all programs, personnel, activities, or contracts” that promote DEI. via @bostonglobe.com by Jason Laughlin and Matt Stout

SCOOP: Many of the pages that went missing on Friday from the CDC website on Friday have reappeared — in response to intense media coverage, backlash from the scientific community and concern for the public’s health. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/h...

Among specialists, anesthesiologists, pulmonologists, and ER doctors reported high levels of burnout. According to one report, more than 70,000 physicians — over 6 percent of the country’s physicians — left medicine just between 2021 and 2022.

After a long week of breaking news, my colleagues at @bostonglobe.com scrambled to pull together this update on the government data purge, including a tracker of missing CDC sites with crucial health information led by the amazing @gashina.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/31/m...

The @bostonglobe.com is tracking CDC pages that have gone dark. We've counted more than 100 so far. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/31/d...

Updates on Trump's public health choke hold. 1. All federal grants HALTED. (Lawsuits now pending) 2. CDC/WHO stop-work order. Impacts 3. USAID gutted. 4. HIV drugs cut off to poor nations. 5. New NSF grants on hold. 6-7 Some good news at NIH and on data blackout open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

A few thoughts from me and others in the @bostonglobe.com www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/28/m...

Massachusetts receives more NIH funding per capita than any other state. Here's how things have played out here. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/28/m...

I’ve long wanted to turn what would be phone calls among colleagues into something everyone could listen to. Here’s an attempt with Atul Gawande, covering the halt of US aid, including PEPFAR, which saved >20 million lives. Transcript + captions on Inside Medicine open.substack.com/pub/insideme...
