This is a great explainer of just how much trouble NIH-funded scientists are about to be in. 😨

Great coverage from Last Week Tonight. Pairs nicely with this insider account from an anonymous NIH official about how the agency is being blocked from doing science: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-nih-bu...

“This doesn't feel like a strategic plan to reorganize and make the NIH better and more efficient. It feels like a wrecking ball,” says an NIH insider, who asked 60 Minutes to protect his identity due to his concern about reprisal. https://cbsn.ws/3EKcER9

Getting the message out on how science funding benefits our society @abepalmer.bsky.social in the SD Tribune www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/03/09/g...

Wow. "NIH" canceled my co-mentored (with Dave Sulzer) PhD student's F31 funding. His work is on understanding the genetics and neuroscience of language learning disorders. F31 provides no indirect $ to Columbia, just pays his salary. Not that it should matter, but he's an American citizen. W.T.F.

Leana Wen understands so little about US health and science politics that she was pushed out of Planned Parenthood after less than a year, because she made so many errors. 🧪 We should do the opposite of what she advises. 1/2

These aren’t totally hypothetical questions. Currently, the US is in the process of trashing its wildly successful science funding system. NIH, which funds tens of billions of dollars of research each year, has been estimated to generate around $2.50 of economic activity for every $1 funded:
