"The story of the negative impact on the future of infectious disease research will only become part of public discourse if scientists speak up loudly" A must read. One Hundred Days, Incalculable Loses @jidjournal.bsky.social Emily Erbelding, MD - NIAID/DMD academic.oup.com/jid/advance-...

Unlawful grant terminations are harming young scientists and threatening innovation. ASCB joins leaders calling for immediate funding restoration. www.ascb.org/society-news...

Together with leading science organizations, ASM filed an amicus brief calling for immediate restoration of NIH grants supporting early-career scientists. Read the press release: asm.org/press-releas...

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

ASH decries HHS restructuring and CDC layoffs. The Blood Disorders Division addresses SCD, thrombosis, hemophilia, thalassemia, and more. Millions' health is at stake; ASH urges immediate action. #Fight4Hematology #HemeSky #MedSky

Today our nation's world leadership in science begins a slow death. We lose all the potential innovation, jobs, medicines, novel treatments, & science discoveries to save and improve lives. CDC & NIH will be a shell of themselves. Will hurt for decades. www.splinter.com/bloodbath-at...

A sad day for science & public health www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/h...

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

We are committed to supporting #CancerCare providers and patients who may be affected by public health issues. A listing of measles and vaccination resources can be found on our website and will continue to be updated: asco.org/news-initiat...

Irresponsible public health leadership is dangerous and it kills. The head of DHHS routinely tries to practice medicine without a license via podcasts and TV interviews and encouraged Vitamin A as treatment for measles. This is the direct result! www.cnn.com/2025/03/26/h....

Sure looks like it'll be a 'study' with a predetermined outcome. If this were really an open question (it is not) it would make sense to contract with one of the numerous centers with extensive experience in vaccine trials. (1/2)

A troubling moment for the next generation of scientists. UMass Chan Med School is rescinding dozens of PhD offers in biomedical sciences due to fears over federal research funding cuts. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/u...

MMR is better than natural infection for many reasons > Measles virus infection diminishes preexisting antibodies that offer protection from other pathogens #measlesoutbreak www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Zelensky has thanked the United States on numerous occasions since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022 – expressing gratitude to Trump and Biden, to members of Congress from both parties, to US defense companies and their employees, and to the American people.

How do wildfires impact the continued rise of Valley Fever 🍄? Come listen to @grthompsonmd.bsky.social and Dr. Fariba Donovan discuss risks, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment in this FREE webinar (March 12, 12-1 PT) hosted by @msgerc.bsky.social msgerc.wildapricot.org/event-6071071

Hugely interesting topic! Definitely tune in #idsky #TxID

msgerc.wildapricot.org/event-6071071 Have you heard about Valley Fever occurring after/during the recent California fires? Wondering about how climate change might relate to Cocci? @msgerc.bsky.social has two experts ready to discuss in this FREE webinar. March 12 - will be interesting and useful!

So now CDC scientists are banned from co-authoring research w/ WHO? Not just new studies - existing ones too This isn’t just bureaucracy. It cuts off global collab on ID, pandemic preparedness, & vaccine research. @altcdc.bsky.social from @mattshuham.bsky.social www.huffpost.com/entry/cdc-wh...

We are barreling toward a full blown constitutional crisis. Trump's announcement that he's ending thousands of aid contracts FUNDED BY CONGRESS is unconstitutional and illegal - and horrible for our security. 1/ A quick🧵on what's going on. apnews.com/article/trum...

In normal times, I'd have written about this #MMWR report about some of the kids who've died from #flu this year having had a severe neurological condition called influenza-associated encephalopathy or encephalitis. Glad to see @cidrap.bsky.social did write! www.cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-ge...

If someone thinks the measles outbreak and childhood death in Texas are "not unusual" or "happens all the time", they are deeply misinformed. h/t @adamratnermd.bsky.social for the inspiration. blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obser...

Repeating myself -- the years of life lost from missed vaccines for life-threatening childhood diseases is vastly higher than for adult preventive measures. Expecting more information later today. Truly tragic. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Risk of spread to other states too. With RFK Jr in charge expect more of these events all over the country

The Trump Administration is maintaining the NIH grant freeze despite lawsuits challenging the order, a Nature article reported today. Science funding in the US is already lagging, leaving researchers in limbo. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Colorado joined 21 other states in suing the Trump administration over NIH funding cuts that could devastate medical research. @cuanschutz.bsky.social alone could lose $74 million, jeopardizing public health and access to life-saving medical interventions. @cumedicalschool.bsky.social

41/47 (87%) of NIH study sections are cancelled this week Frustrating to see all this good research stalled (& not funded) You can search for study sections that ‘did not meet as scheduled’ here with ones with * ⤵️ www.csr.nih.gov/RevPanelsAnd...

Epidemic intelligence service officers are the cream of the cream. They're top doctors, veterinarians & other health professionals. They sign up for a two-year training program to serve the country. Not only is terminating them bad for the country, it's also a disgraceful violation of a commitment.

American Bar Association files legal challenge against federal government in USAID funding freeze

BREAKING On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

BREAKING: In response to doctors' lawsuit, Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, orders CDC, NIH, and FDA to put back up websites and datasets cited by the doctors in their lawsuit as having been relied upon and pulled down without notice. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: 22 states sue NIH over Trump administration's new 15% cap on overhead for federal research grants. Suit filed federal court in Boston contends lifesaving research 'will grind to a halt' under the policy. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

After hearing from two of my colleagues in Africa who work with USAID/PEPFAR, and the consequences already of recent events, I had to write this. So sad. And so pointless! #IDSky blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obser...

As a clinical researcher, it is hard to comprehend the harms this has done to the participants and the negative impact on future scientific and medical advances. Thinking of the many voices that are not able to be heard and hoping our community can come together to fight back against this evil.
