If you’ve ever compared unvaccinated kids to vaccinated kids, you’ve seen the former are more likely to die.

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

"Trump's demand of $1 billion from UCLA would devastate one of the nation’s best public universities...From medical therapies that save lives to technologies that grow the economy and research that protects our national security, Americans across the country depend on the University of California"

‼️Trump's demands of UCLA are far worse than you think. His demands could result in thousands of trans people outside UCLA losing care, risking lives. From Poppy Press on Instagram, an independent student-run outlet by UCLA students, reposted with permission 🧵 www.instagram.com/p/DNTwD5IvAAy/

🚨 150 University of California law professors (and counting) have now signed this open letter to the UC Regents and other officials, explaining the flagrant illegality of the Trump Administration’s UCLA funding cut offs, and urging the UC to fight back. sites.google.com/view/uclawfa...

Research is central to our department's mission. This week, Dr. Abel spotlights studies ranging from reducing endocrine side effects in cancer immunotherapy to the impact of GLP-1RAs on dementia risk. Read the full newsletter here: uclahs.fyi/4mfULu0

This is horrifyingly correct.

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

This is just so embarrassing. The NIH rescinded a policy on SCIENTIFIC INTEGRITY to be more aligned with this administration's idiocy. #medsky #saveourscience

It took detaining a white Canadian woman for the public to get a glimpse into ICE detention. The stories she tells—of her dehumanizing experience & that of so many other women—are horrifying. This is America. Not new to this administration, just ramped up. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Today is a sad day for #NF research. Facing budget cut, the CDMRP has cut funding to the NF program. I was proud to be a part in bringing a drug to approval for #NF1 but it couldn’t have been done without this support. It’s still the top “latest news” on the CDMRP website.

If you have a federal grant, I *highly* recommend going to this Friday's webinar on responding to grant terminations. Lisa Brown, former general counsel at Dept of Ed, will present along with other lawyers. Friday, March 21, 2-3 pm. More info & register here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/regist...

SCOOP > HHS fired lawyers who were defending and implementing the Medicare drug price cuts enabled in Biden's Inflation reduction Act. @rachelcohrs.bsky.social & John Tozzi www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Thinking of my #braintumor and #nf #neurofibromatosis #schwannomatosis patients and caregivers on this #rarediseaseday.

Very sad to see that #RareDiseaseDay event at FDA-NIH has been cancelled. Cuts that limit rare disease research and cures (1) leave patients behind, and (2) forfeit precious opportunity to learn more about common human diseases. udnf.org/udnf-stateme...

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

If people were really just dying from chronic diseases then how come they weren’t dying from their chronic diseases until after March, 2020?

I bet a lot of people have had an experience like this with a bad boss - there’s an email in your inbox on Saturday night saying, “Prove to me your worthiness by Monday or else.” I’m on the side of the workers, not the billionaire asshole bosses.

Resist.

Our Department of Defense $1.4 million grant iwill no longer be funded due to Executive Order (EO) 14168: Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.

Join us February 25th to learn about current research on how best to treat pain for people with non-NF2 related schwannomatosis. www.nfmidwest.org/event/clinic... #endnf #schwannomatosis

Would I have to review something like this in the Neuroscience IRB? 🤔
