“The loss of NIH federal funds is having a tremendous impact on today and tomorrow's biomedical research --both prevention and cures. In the US alone, this interactive infographic shows how it affects each U.S. State.” www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

A bright spot!

60 Universities are being targeted. Imagine if they all stood up and coordinated with each other to fight back. www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

NYC rally for science - science is worth fighting for

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

Check out the latest study from Sabrina Cluesman, Marya Gwadz, and Chuck Cleland - Intentions to Use PrEP Among a National Sample of Transgender and Gender-Expansive Youth and Emerging Adults: Examining Gender Minority Stress, Substance Use, and Gender Affirmation link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Breaking news: Lambda Legal and ACLU are suing on behalf of PFLAG and GLMA to end Trump's illegal executive order banning trans care under 19 years old. The suit has been brought in Maryland. A similar suit was brought on behalf of PFLAG to end child abuse investigations in TX 3 years ago.

NYU Silver scholars shined at #SSWR2025. Read our recap for highlights from the nearly 70 symposia, presentations & other events featuring our work & the SSWR awards presented to Dr. @sabrinacluesman.bsky.social, PhD ’24, & PhD candidate Aaron Rodwin: socialwork.nyu.edu/news/2025/si...

We Must Fight In Solidarity With Trans Youth is available below. "This brief is intended to help organizers working to stop the violence of surveillance, policing, and punishment and advance racial, reproductive, gender, LGBTQ, migrant, and disability justice. ... This fight belongs to all of us."

Before trying to get a bunch of scientists to leave their jobs voluntarily, one should consider that many of us completed our advanced degrees PURELY OUT OF SPITE.

For your cookie needs :)

I woke up thinking how I might continue to center hope, continue to move towards liberation. While I’m not sure of the answers I do know that we are in this together. Join the social work activist collective in Jan 30th to begin to build together. Register here: tinyurl.com/SWACJan25

I want to be clear about where we stand with the EO: The battlefield is now revealed. We know the pieces on it and their plans. It doesn't mean its lost or immediate. But Trump has fired his first shot. Implementation will take time and challenges are sure to come. Stay strong, its a marathon.

And here we go.

🧵 My first dissertation paper is officially published #AIDSandBehavior 🎉 Key takeaways from this nat'l sample of trans & gender expansive young people highlight how ongoing anti-trans legislation efforts are a dire threat to their health and well-being. #StopAntiTransBillsNow @mgwadz.bsky.social

Shout out to Dr. Cluesman @sabrinacluesman.bsky.social for this award which acknowledges her commitment to trans rights, hard work, vision, and great ideas. On this day when trans rights are under attack, her research is more important than ever

PSA: you do not have to watch the news tomorrow. You do not have to keep track of everything day 1. This is a marathon not a sprint. Take care of yourself and spend time with friends and family. I'll be out on the slopes wfh my partner enjoying nature. They can't take our joy, I won't let them.

I am incredibly honored to have received the Society for Social Work Research (SSWR) Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award alongside my NYU Silver School of Social Work colleague Aaron Rodwin, LCSW who received the SSWR Doctoral Fellows Award!

States are justifying their bans of transgender health care on a 388-page report called the Cass Review. Supreme Court justices have invoked it. Today, in @nejm.org, Craig Konnoth and I conclude the report is unsound because it departs from standards in medical law, policy, and practice. 🧵(1/12)

I had a walk today and thought about the relationship between civility, discomfort, and abuse. Some of you know that “civility” is one of my hard “ugh” triggers. This thread will explain why.

We have another amazing social work scholar who has lost their house. Consider donating to Nicole Vazquez’s go fund me. It’s been so many friends and colleagues in need but any amount you can spare will help! gofund.me/ac647c3e
