In a new Editorial, JAMA editors, JAMA Network Editors in Chief, and JAMA editorial leadership address the recent executive orders that have impacted the scientific process and reaffirm their commitment to scientific and editorial integrity. ja.ma/4b5LsIt

Really appreciated this editorial so nicely stating how important it is for medical and public health professionals to actively speak out against policies that harm health. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This is a very good story on the uncertainty created by the disruption to NIH activity — and how the stakes are highest for the most junior scholars. There's also a submission form at the bottom to share your experiences if the pause has impacted you. www.statnews.com/2025/01/24/t...

I'm hearing through colleagues that this is the source of the NIH study section cancellations. From the link - need for contracts/grants to agree to comply with the "anti-discrimination" laws and having terms to certify they do not operate programs promoting DEI.

This is worrisome. NIH study sections canceled? Mine is scheduled to meet next month. Not sure if it's still happening. Study sections are basically volunteer. We do it to give back to the process that supported us and to support science. Impact could be lasting www.science.org/content/arti...
