Same with the CDC Library, which has been around since 1946.

Welp—CDC’s entire data team for its legendary national health and nutrition survey (NHANES)—our health census—has been laid off. Now we are flying blind to nutrition and chronic disease status in the U.S.—is this supposed to help us be MAHA? www.statnews.com/2025/10/14/c...

Hi, Every Library (a political group that advocates for libraries) just launched a petition and a way to email your reps to support the CDC librarians: Petition: action.everylibrary.org/cdclibrarype... Email: action.everylibrary.org/emailcdclibr... Please share!

CDC is not a Democratic or Republican agency. It's an American agency. One in three employees have been lost in recent months. This is dismantling of our health protections, not reform.

Librarians are banding together for the CDC library and its staff. Consider signing, sharing, and call your reps.

CDC Library staff and the larger Office of Science Quality and Library Services have yet to be re-hired at the CDC!!! Please contact your elected reps to advocate for the reinstatement of the CDC Library. Every little bit helps! #medlibs #firedbutfighting #publichealthsaveslives #CDC

No, we haven’t gotten any word about a rescission just yet.

Congress needs to demand transparency re these CDC firings and what happened. I don't think "miscoding" is the reason nearly 50% of those fired were rescinded. Maybe it was the public awareness that programs like global health, suicide prevention, and measles response were being eliminated...

I can't get over how the CDC layoffs are coming less than two months after the attempted mass shooting. The agency is being taken apart brick by brick. The public servants there do not deserve this.

The library is still RIF’d, too. 😢

Yea!!! LFG Aces!

RIFed: Office of Science - CDC Library They have helped SO many of us with their expertise & guidance so we can do efficient & quick research. You don’t need us toiling in Pubmed for days at a time during an outbreak. The library helps us get what we need quickly so we can continue our work.

Well, just got laid off from my job as a public health librarian in the latest illegal firings by this administration. If anyone knows any job leads for a phd-trained health researcher with expert-search skills, please let me know! 😢

Ugh. This is so played out. Grow up.

I hope news reporters pick this up! According to 2018 ACIP documents, working groups are FACA-exempt since they perform in a fact-finding role; do not include a quorum; and, do not vote on policy. cdc.gov/acip/downloa...

This and the dissolving of the PubMed selection committee do not bode well for the future of NLM within the NIH.

Got my audiobook copy from the library today. Super excited to read!! Congrats @itsafronomics.bsky.social

After nearly two years of negotiations, workers at Enoch Pratt Free Library ratified their first-ever union contract. baltimorebeat.com/enoch-pratt-...

CFB was wild yesterday! I think about a commentator urging kids not to become RBs, WRs or QBs, but kickers and punters. Yesterday, kickers (and holders) were the make-it-or-break-it piece of the team. #cfb #notredame #tenneessee

Trump has never even acknowledged the shooting at CDC - where an anti-vax gunman sprayed hundreds of bullets - where a police officer died. He also left behind a wife and child. RFK Jr returned to publicly spreading antivax lies within days. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

🧵I couldn't quite make myself look at the new MAHA report, so I settled for today's opinion piece in the Washington Post: wapo.st/4mf4Ma7 As a #medlibs and #SystematicReview / #EvidenceSynthesis person, I of course had a look at the links/citations they include. Let's go over them, shall we?
