These are not the heirs of Galileo. They are the heirs of the men who refused to look through the telescope, because they had already decided what they would see.

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”

[email protected] hits the nail on the head again! "Bhattacharya is an economist who began declaring himself an epidemiologist during the pandemic, a move as meaningful as me trying to declare myself an economist during a financial crisis." Sad people have bought into this anti-expert BS...

If the world’s preeminent research institution wants to hear the best science on “The Search for the Origin of COVID-19”, a lapsed ornithologist seems like an odd place to start. substack.com/@rdmorris/no...

They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone. #USForestService

Incredible lol

Hold on a second. Trump's grandfather immigrated from Germany. Trump's father is a birthright citizen. Trump himself is only a citizen because he was born here.

Another important section to this compilation is Long COVID's impact on healthcare workers, leaving us more vulnerable should another pandemic crisis emerge in our lifetimes. Podcast Jay's philosophy of telling you to be "metabolically healthy" and pissing off to record more podcasts helps nobody.

The NASA administrator says he wants to focus on exploring space rather than studying climate change. “For NASA to assemble scientists and put out papers on politically charged issues, whether or not this is an impending climate catastrophe, is not helpful to the broader NASA mission."

Gendered burdens

Senator Eric Schmitt got a participation trophy and is declaring victory 😂 His injunction says that CISA, the CDC, and the Surgeon General can't censor the 3 plaintiffs on 5 platforms. Government officials can still communicate with platforms, tell them content is wrong/false/misleading/harmful.🤷‍♀️

China has been waiting decades for us to act this stupidly. The Legacy of Trump-RFK Jr- Bhattacharya will take decades to repair and we will never again have the same level of leadership in science.

The amazing @drjudystone.bsky.social is out with a piece on a new test for TB that could make it easier to diagnose TB—and therefore to treat it faster and reduce transmission.

NIH’s response to this article, that “NIH supports a fair and objective review process that evaluates proposals based on scientific merit.” not so subtly suggests that they think women on average do science that is less meritorious.

3000 controllers short is legitimately insane. They’re willing to kill us all to simply not pay people and give them better working conditions.

When I retired only around 25% of Full Professors in STEM were women. I was proud be one of them, and to support the success of fellow women in STEM through mentoring. This was not an organic process. It took hard work and persistence. And now The Regime is setting us back decades.

Here's another photo of the year candidate from Getty contributor Megan Varner:

Let’s be honest with ourselves. The leaders of the National Academies of Science and Medicine are not merely standing aside as science and biomedicine are destroyed. NASEM is *actively helping* destroy science with events like this: @health.nationalacademies.org

Release the full report. Release the Epstein files Lock him up.

OK Folks buckle up - what’s the probability of a lab leak causing COVID-19? Same as pulling an ace of spades from a shuffled card deck.. not once, not twice…. But SEVEN TIMES IN A ROW!! Dr Bob had done the math! @rdmorris.bsky.social substack.com/@rdmorris/no...

The COVID lab leak scenario requires a long chain of individually unlikely events. The probability of all of them happening is equivalent to my announcing I will pull the ace of spades from a shuffled deck and doing it. 7 times in a row. 🧪 #covid #episky open.substack.com/pub/drbobmor...

Damned right we are. @defendpublichealth.bsky.social is in this until public health infrastructure is rebuilt, and better than it was before.

Lab leak proponents have been so busy insisting that anyone convinced of a wildlife origin for SARS-CoV-2 produce a smoking gun with little bat fingerprints all over it that they never bothered to ask if a lab can make a viral bullet. open.substack.com/pub/drbobmor... 🧪 #episky #medsky

this is an out-and-out lie multi-year funding doesn’t give ANYONE more money up-front the money simply sits in different account at NIH no one gets money sooner

Please don't drink raw milk. Or cheese from raw milk. Pathogenic E.coli is one of many dangerous microbes it may harbor. RFK, Jr. and his favorite for surgeon general are dead wrong about raw dairy. Others will become dead. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Newly uncovered memos show the basis for RFK Jr's decision to end the Covid vaccine recommendation for pregnant people and children. They're light on evidence and heavy on ideology, sources told me in my latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

(she also misspelled Moderna)

Some context. The CDC is fighting with the FDA about COVID vaccines.

Thinking this is how he separated his shoulder.

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

The full-scale war in Ukraine is already in its fifth year. Russia continues attacking our cities, energy infrastructure and keeps killing our people. I'm told that news about Ukraine have almost disappeared from European media. Is that true for your country?

Pavel Talankin is a teacher from a small mining town in Central Russia. He spent two and a half years documenting how his school was conscripted into Putin’s war propaganda machine for the Oscar-nominated documentary, Mr. Nobody Against Putin.

The 1st MAHA report, written by RFK Jr, Bhattacharya, Makary, & others, was called “Make Our Children Healthy Again” Yet the authors are silent—& thus complicit—in the face of the MAGA/MAHA administration kidnapping, zip-tying, tear-gassing, & torturing kids & putting them in concentration camps

🧪 #resist #resistrfk #defendresearch #standupforscience Also on NYT today, EPA is going to stop regulating the carcinogen ethylene oxide. None of what they’re destroying can be rebuilt quickly. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/c...

Get your war on.

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children. This is learned today: Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%. www.npr.org/2026/03/11/n...

NEW: Title X clinics around the country that provide contraception, cancer screening etc. to more than 2mil low income people could see their federal funding cut off in a few weeks. HHS was supposed to give clinics guidance months ago about reapplying for funding, but it's been "radio silence."

"Jabby's Playhouse"?? Our tax dollars peddling dangerous science crack to kids. There is always a new low to be had. #episky #medsky 🧪

it's just such an insane phenomenon www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/25/n...

You need to read this thread Jay Bhattacharya should not have been allowed anywhere near NIH leadership He has shown—over & over—that he will impede the careers of early career researchers He told my Duke colleague, a young post-doc who studies health disparities, that his science was “bad”

This is a war of choice by a desperate US regime that a majority of the public opposes. Even though the Iranian people oppose the regime they do not want foreign bombs falling on their country. The war will not make the US a safer or better place, and it is wrong morally.
