More grant terminations from NIH targeting health disparities researchers @science.org Again, why have any faith in the words of leaders who have no interest in stabilizing grant making? Terminations are wasteful and add disincentives for all science. www.science.org/content/arti...

The actual case count is almost certainly higher because most people don’t seek care when they get diarrhea. And when they do labs don’t routinely test for cyclosporiasis, says @drjeannem.bsky.social CEO of IDSA. She estimates cases are at least double CDC tallies www.wired.com/story/explos...

Official case counts likely capture only a fraction of US cyclosporiasis infections, and the outbreak is likely to get worse before it gets better.
