In these unprecedented dark times for American life science and medical research (no less well beyond biomedicine), my coping mechanism is to laser focus on the unremitting and remarkable daily advances, and the fervent hope these will not be slowed or interrupted.

Last week, a patient's daughter told me her dad with mild dementia knows most things, but "probably can't tell you who the president is." I slipped, "that's probably a good thing for him though, right?" Oops, but thank goodness she agreed.

Naming "people from mental institutions" (i.e. people with psychiatric conditions) alongside "rape gangs", "drug lords" and "murderers" is a terrible insult to people with mental illness and particularly scary considering that RFK Jr. wants to send people on antidepressants to "wellness farms".

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

The idea of a potential H5N1 pandemic becomes even more scary with #PubMed and #NIH servers being down. Just remember COVID and try imagining it without proper access to the latest biomedical research.

War auch immer der Grund für die Unerreichbarkeit von #PubMed und anderen #NIH Websites ist - es sollte uns eine Warnung sein. Wenn die USA als Wissenschaftsmotor wegfallen, werden wir das weltweit zu spüren bekommen. Zeit für ein #Sondervermögen #Wissenschaft!

Gibt es schon Informationen, weshalb Pubmed seit gestern nicht mehr erreichbar ist? Ich hoffe, dass es nur technische Probleme sind…

#PubMed is down. And so are most other #NIH websites. I don't know what exactly is going there, but this should be a warning that the Trump administration is a risk to the research community not just ion the US, but worldwide.

Wir hatten uns daran gewöhnt, das Weltgeschehen,auch die Kriege, wie aus einer Theaterloge zu betrachten, anschließend nach Hause zu gehen und vor dem Schlafen gehen noch ein Glas Wein zu trinken.Der Verrat von Trump und Vance macht uns - hoffentlich - klar, dass das Theaterstück unsere Realität ist

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

JUST IN: The UN has adopted Ukraine’s resolution condemning Russian aggression and demanding the immediate withdrawal of Putin’s forces, marking the war’s third anniversary. The U.S. joined Russia, North Korea, Belarus, and Hungary in opposing the resolution.

Awful: Numerous scientists and researchers were just fired at NIH's center for treating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They fear Trump-Musk cuts could dramatically set back our ability to treat dementias. New reporting from me here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias. This cause was once championed by *Republicans.* Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...
