NIH funding cuts are hitting hard 🏥 The White House taking back promised NIH funding and canceling ongoing health research mid-study. NIH returns >250% of investment while tackling cancer, diabetes, dementia. See your community's impact: scienceimpacts.org #NIH #HealthResearch #SciencePolicy

They did this to a sitting United States Senator for simply asking a question for the 40 million Americans he represents. While national news camera were rolling. Imagine what they're doing to the most vulnerable among us. We'll see you at a NO KINGS protest this Saturday. ✊🏽

My friend Cree Myles was kind enough to allow me to approach the necessary topic of mental health via Penguin Random House’s All Ways Black 💚 penguinrandomhouse.com/articles/a-safe-space-between-books/ 🧵 1/4

Just the @datarescueproject.org getting highlighted in @timemagazine.bsky.social No big deal. Teaming up to preserve at-risk public data, from FEMA to the Dept. of Ed., this collaboration is putting transparency back in the spotlight. @iassistdata.bsky.social @icpsr.bsky.social

White House releases major mental health report. Citations are a mess—fake PDFs, misattributed authors, and more. Could’ve asked a librarian.🤷‍♀️

Trump fired the Librarian of Congress without cause! Read @everylibrary.bsky.social statement here. www.everylibrary.org/trump_fires_... PLEASE contact your congressional representatives now and remind them that LC is a legislative branch agency and the president does not have authority over it.

An expert on the Library of Congress tells Rolling Stone that Trump’s takeover attempt is “dangerous,” given that the Library’s sub-agencies provide confidential legal advice to members of Congress and help police misconduct by lawmakers.  www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis. It is surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.

I guess facts were too inclusive. Dr. Carla Hayden—first Black person, first woman, and an actual librarian—was just fired for doing the work.

#ScienceIsPeople 🧪 As the second Trump administration sends U.S. science into upheaval, countless researchers are fighting for their futures U.S. scientists’ lives and careers are being upended. Here are five of their stories www.science.org/content/arti...

Chasing NIH grants is like fighting for the last slice of cake at a research potluck. @bradytwest.bsky.social from @um-src.bsky.social nails the stress and stakes of soft-money work. If you care about public health research, read this.

Big shout out to the librarians who are creating guides to alternate locations for data and data rescue efforts on their library websites! I just noticed these were added to our doc! @americanuniversity.bsky.social American Univ: subjectguides.library.american.edu/data_rescue
