Sharing this screen grab from a friend at NIH (with permission). This is a checklist program officers have to complete before a grant can be awarded. The first question: "Is this grant All Clean/Clear in the NIH Text analysis Tool?" 🧵1/3

"All 22 members of the board that oversees the US National Science Foundation have been dismissed without explanation. Plus, the going rate for a fake authorship and how the funding system can adapt to a surge in AI-written grant proposals." Jesus Fucking Christ #medlibs

#medlibs Looking for gray literature places besides FDA or OSHA that might talk about secondary exposure to opioids

So academic freedom is well and truly dead at Texas Tech. Also, how exactly are health sciences programs (and #medlibs) supposed to adhere to professional standards and best practices with discriminatory policies like this in play? www.texastech.edu/downloads/26...

#MedEd and #MedLibs folks, our colleague Mary C. Young is trying to survey health professions students and recent grads about their #MedImprov experiences. If you know someone 18-28 who has had improv as part of their healthcare training, please send them to: forms.microsoft.com/Pages/Respon...

#medlibs or #meded if you have Clinical Key - have you noticed a drop in usage in past 2-3 years?

@openevidence.bsky.social do you have a way for libraries to integrate a link to their full text?

Just curious does your library have any control of your website? #medlibs

Exciting news - I have actually updated the Library Conferences on BlueSky page, and it now has current and previous 2026 sections! Lots to do to add in events I have noted in screenshots and saved emails, but good progress.

Umm, I know cases for learning can be fictional, but published case reports in a society medical journal, for the last 25 years 😧?? #medlibs retractionwatch.com/2026/03/03/c...

7/ In reality, my colleagues still inside NIH tell me that their assessments are largely ignored. Once a grant or application is picked up by the tool, they are almost never able to move the grant forward as is - regardless of the scientific justification.

🔥 Hot tip! Before starting a systematic review, make sure an information scientist/research librarian is part of the review team. They have specialised skills to develop & implement a comprehensive search strategy 🔎 Learn more: bit.ly/4spgp1z #JBIMethodology #medlibs

So, the HR Manager at #SLV used to work for TAB, a large Australian gambling company (responsible for destroying many lives). The #SLV is being dismantled before our very eyes. #medlibs #ALIA

Hey #medlibs & library folks - check your catalog for the Journal of the Academy of Public Health. You may want to reconsider that & refine teaching language for clarity about evidence-based health information this year. eagledawg.blogspot.com/2026/01/publ...

#medlibs Suggestions for grey literature resources on contaminates in water and how they affect pregnancy. I looked at EPA but other suggestions?

It's very concerning that the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee was terminated and there's little awareness of it. This has me concerned that more predatory/crap science will become part of PubMed. #medlibs

Systematic reviews on the same topic are common but often fail to meet key methodological standards: a research-on-research study - Journal of Clinical Epidemiology www.jclinepi.com/article/S089.... #medlibs

Does anyone have a recommended estimate or range for writing APCs into NIH grants? How’d you determine that? Of course if/when APC caps happen, there’s your answer. #medlibs #scholcomm

So is PubMed/MEDLINE is still getting updated. Based on yesterday's update files things are still happening... ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/updat... Not really sure what long-term implications are (if the shutdown continues). Any ideas #medlibs?
