Stand Up For Science Condemns Retaliation Against Bethesda Declaration Whistleblower Jenna Norton “an attempt to silence the many federal workers who are speaking out about the harms this administration is causing the American people” @standupforscience.bsky.social

Trump’s HHS put me on “non-disciplinary” admin leave today. This was retaliation for speaking up. Moves like this are designed to silence us. Let’s not let. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Dteoop/

In a video, Norton confirms the news and says: "I strongly suspect it is because I have been speaking up in my personal capacity about the harms I have been witnessing inside the NIH. Putting me on admin leave was designed to scare and silence me. I will not stop speaking out," she says.
