Staff members at the NIH seem to have done the impossible: spend the agency's $48 billion budget. “Everyone has been rallying together to clean up the mess, but it’s a mess that did not need to be made,” an NIH program officer told me. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

David Baltimore passed away this weekend. A pioneer of molecular virology who won the Nobel prize in medicine & physiology for his discovery of viral reverse transcriptase. This essay he wrote in 2018 reflecting of his 60yr career in science is a great read. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Corrupt. Dangerous. Deeply deeply damaging.

Impressive work following over two thousand volunteers for over two years. Both intervention arms (structured and self guided) showed improvements. Thank you ‪@alzassociation.bsky.social‬ for your work.

Some sweet people have been sending physical cards and letters to the Bethesda Declaration signers. This is so kind and meaningful. It would be GREAT if they received more. Cards can be sent to Ian Morgan NIGMS 45 Center Dr, MSC 6200 Bethesda, MD 20892-6200 Ian will share them with the signers.

It is a strange time when I think that a new policy from this administration makes sense and I actually support. I miss the times where most notices made sense, though. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

As Jay said, many of the #BethesdaDeclaration signers will meet with him on Monday. And oh boy are we prepared! While not every signer was invited, we worked together and with our colleagues across #NIH to bring our concerns—and evidence to back them up. Buckle up, this will be a long thread. 🧵

There is a rally on MONDAY at 4:30 PM to stand up for NIH. Please join. Many NIH employees signed the Bethesda Declaration, objecting to the destruction of NIH. The Trump NIH Director asked the signers to meet. The rally follows that meeting, in support. actionnetwork.org/ev...

Would be honored to see @alsobrooks.senate.gov on the growing list of signers! Still appreciating the platform she provided for us at the #SickOfIt rally. Then, I wore a veil to hide my identity. Good to be unmasked!

Today, my NIH colleagues and I did something scary but really important. We spoke up about egregious harms we are seeing happen to research participants and public health through thoughtless and politicized policies at NIH. 🧵1/3 apnews.com/article/nih-...

BREAKING: The Episcopal Church has announced it will end its decades-old partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by the Trump admin. religionnews.com/2025/05/12/e...

House Republicans just released their plan to kick 14 million Americans off health insurance, slashing hundreds of billions from Medicaid in order to give a massive tax cut to billionaires and big corporations. This isn’t “fiscal responsibility” — it’s cruelty, plain and simple.

I hope this enrages everyone, but, when you have a kid with cystic fibrosis, which is, almost definitionally, “very sick kid” status, it hits at a whole different level

The attack is relentless. Please a lawyer help me understand. As I read it, the commitment is not for the work supported by the federal funds. It is for all your activities. Period.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

So many liberal arguments right now take the form: ‘it will be *citizens* next’. Like, maybe they’ll come for people who really matter. If it works it works, I guess, but this says a lot about how Western countries have dehumanised migrants & regularised extrajudicial killings on international soil.

Does anyone out there speak dumbfuckanese? Can you translate this shit for us, please?

1/ The number of protests planned for tomorrow is enormous. Given what Trump has done to the economy, and everyone's collective ability to pay for household expenses/retirement I'd expect them to be huge. Find out more at handsoff2025.com

🚨 BIG week for lawsuits against the NIH. Now 16 states have sued NIH and HHS for "engag[ing] in a concerted, and multi-pronged effort to disrupt NIH’s grants." "The result of these disruptions has been, in a word, devastating," they write. ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.
