Collaborating with youth on sexual health research is essential! The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) I collaborate with just published a commentary about what made the YAB work and their recommendations for other researchers who want to collaborate with youth. Please share! rdcu.be/eLG3L

mass grant terminations might be over for now, but their impact still harms people who were in the studies, including kids & teens. @knelphd.bsky.social @amyknopf.bsky.social and I wrote about ethical implications of abruptly ending studies for political reasons publications.aap.org/pediatrics/a...

Amelia Knopf, @karmacap.bsky.social and @knelphd.bsky.social write in Pediatrics about how the terminations of clinical trials of children and adolescents represent cracks in the foundation of ethical research, and the moral responsibility to repair them: doi.org/10.1542/peds...

I stand strong with the civil servants at NIH who are not only doing science but defending science by demanding that the administration not abandon lifesaving research mandated by law. Putting NIH research on hold puts people’s lives at risk.

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-...

Data request: any APHA or UAW members impacted by NIH grant terminations are encouraged to visit the link below by MONDAY 5/19. The goal is to provide the court with info about which grants have been affected and the number of people impacted if the judge issues relief in the matter of APHA v NIH.

NEW: At least two institutions have been directed to comply with Trump’s anti-trans executive order as a condition of getting NIH grants, according to letters I've seen. The policy marks a new front in the administration's efforts to reshape the science ecosystem. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

NEW: Whistleblower records show that the NIH axed research grants – even after a federal judge blocked the cuts with an injunction. www.propublica.org/article/trum... 🧵

ACTION ITEM-----ACTION ITEM Implementation of Schedule F This is what a lot of us have been worried about. This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs. BUT THERE IS A COMMENT PERIOD... 1/n

“I urge you to ask: What is my professional society actively doing to protect science right now? And if the answer is “nothing,” perhaps it’s time to rethink your membership. Because silence isn't neutrality. It’s complicity. And science deserves better.” www.scientificamerican.com/article/trum...

Please take a second to read my statement on the termination of the Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV Interventions. This is devastating to science but even more so to the youth impacted. Thank you

@britshmit.bsky.social continues to speak out for all of us impacted by NIH grant terminated because of inclusion of LGBTQIA+ populations. abcnews.go.com/Health/scien...

On Tuesday, April 8th, 2025 workers across the country are standing up and demanding NO cuts to education and life-saving research. www.killthecuts.org

It’s been a devastating 24 hours with 3 NIH grants terminated…all focused on the health and wellbeing of trans or intersex youth. If folks have any ideas of foundations that may be interested in supporting the completion of these projects so years of work aren’t wasted, please let me know. 🙏

Universities have been one of the greatest engines of knowledge generation and upward mobility we have ever had. Plenty to critique and mock in academia, but if this mission to destroy universities succeeds, our kids will have fewer opportunities and our economy will be harmed for generations.

if you've had an NIH grant terminated, I want to hear about it. Signal: katherinejwu.12

@standupforscience.bsky.social rally in Boston!!

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics. At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Science is under attack. Please consider joining your local rally and if one is not near you, the website also has other ways to support! ✊ standupforscience2025.org/boston-ma/

Just received notice that our grant was terminated. 5R24AG066599-03 TheRiseRegistry.org

Thank you to everyone who stands with USAID. Share far and wide. Unfortunately we don’t have $40 million to buy up ads during the Super Bowl. Even if we did, we’d use it to support the U.S. economy while feeding kids around the globe. #StandWithUSAID #SaveForeignAid m.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

Proud to be a Wesleyan alum and grateful for Michael Roth for continuing to speak up. Universities: where are you (we)?

Raising the alarm with my colleague Dr. Kristen Underhill on a new legal strategy that undermines a core part of the clincian-patient relationship and the very necessary ability of clinicians to rely on informed consent at the time of care. @busph.bsky.social www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
