@rileym-oneill.bsky.social perhaps worth looking into for upcoming things!

Take it from scientists: These are authoritarian lies. Trump and Project 2025 are destroying American science. They already have done great damage. American science has been forever changed and diminished. 🧪

I just sent this email to Director Bhattacharya and am sending him a hard copy by registered mail. 1/14

American Psychological Foundation released a call for applications for crisis funding to support early career researchers who had grants terminated. Looks like a great opportunity! ampsychfdn.org/funding/dacf/

Former NIH director Francis Collins speaks out about why he left NIH: “I didn’t feel I could raise alarms about the harms that were being done to medical research. I was prohibited from speaking about it.” #medsky www.aamc.org/news/former-...

I wish some of the folks with terminated grants- especially Harvard, Columbia folks - would post the summary statements from NIH study sections about their grants. The public should know what independent scientists thought about the projects that are being terminated. #PublicHealth #EpiSky #EndAlz

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health. But NIH isn't the only thing being cut. The budget also slashes all NSF-funded science by 73 percent. NASA faces “the biggest single-year cut to NASA in history."

"A life's worth of work" lost. I can relate! www.statnews.com/2025/05/27/n...

Jennica Bellanca trained mine workers to stay safe. Her job was cut in massive layoffs at NIOSH, the federal agency that protects worker health. Jennica warned, “When we’re gone, there’s nobody left to get this vital safety info out.” She was protecting American workers—now millions are at risk.

Check out this great paper by @rileym-oneill.bsky.social! Nice work!!

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...

Six award-winning female scientists told Nature about the women who have inspired them by pushing innovative research and creating opportunities for others. #WomenInStem 🧪

A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

Among the many reasons the list is bananas is the lack of recognition of how basic science produces unexpected directions and benefits. My own and others work on implicit bias and examining how social systems intersect with identity fundamentally shaped mine and COS's work on science reform.

There's widespread confusion and fear among scientists and doctors on the sprawling National Institutes of Health campus and at institutions dependent on the agency's funding.
