RFK Jr. wants to gut the very agencies that protect us from pandemics, approve life-saving drugs, AND help our most vulnerable get healthcare? Y’all… this isn’t reform, it’s reckless. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/27/r...

U.S. health department plans to slash 10,000 jobs as RFK Jr. upends agencies

The massive cuts at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Health and Human Services Department could affect teams that respond to outbreaks and help with insurance coverage.

Not to be overlooked in the general mayhem, the GOP is ripping apart the worlds finest biomedical establishment. There are no winners here, it is a mindless assault. @indivisible.org @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov @repilhan.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Must watch speech by neuroscientist Kailyn Price at a HHS rally protesting funding cuts to science. "Cutting indirect costs is like telling a football team to work with only the players. No lights for the field, no physical therapists for the players, no water for the showers."

The 2025 Summit, April 24–27, will be a critically important opportunity for our community to come together to strategize, share scientific breakthroughs, and reinforce the importance of physiological research and science funding.

I know you hate this advice. I know you hear it all the time, but for gods sake you need to be calling your congressperson. Now. Today. If you have a GOP representative, you need to call and ask if they approve of stripping congress of its constitutional authority. If they like being powerless.

I know people hate talking on the phone, but if it makes you feel better it’s mostly to an answering machine. Program your reps numbers into your phone. Push back on the unconstitutional stop to Congressionally mandated funding w personal stories of how it affects you.

OK scientists 🧪, it is time to start making noise about what the pause in NIH and NSF grant funding means to you and in your reps' states and districts. Share how this affects YOU! Here are fact sheets to share how much $$ comes into your state or district: www.faseb.org/science-poli...

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect

Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.
