Announcing such a major change to NSF GRFP this late in the cycle is incredibly cruel. 2nd yr students (mine included) have been working so hard on their proposals despite ongoing uncertainty. They are driven and passionate about being outstanding scientists and helping those coming up behind them.

"We are on the precipice of being able to end HIV in our country," ISGMH's @mustanski.bsky.social tells @axios.com. "We have the tools to solve it, ... but if we back off that, if we take our foot off the pedal, we will have more #HIV cases in the United States." www.axios.com/local/chicag...
"We will have more HIV cases": Chicago researcher discusses NIH cuts
Leading LGBTQ+ researcher says Trump administration funding cuts could have widespread impact.

120 scientist working together to study how to effectively implement programs to end the HIV epidemic! That’s epic!
🚨 New JAIDS supplemental issue published today! Coordinated by ISCI, this supplemental issue examines 120 NIH-funded projects aimed at ending the #HIV epidemic, sharing key findings and highlighting strategies for success. Read it now: tinyurl.com/4jb2fmbt
These studies will probably get cut too when findings support that: 1) a very small minority of people detransition 2) of those that do detransition, the majority do it for their safety or financial reasons 3) many "detransitioners" REtransition at some point trans people aren't going anywhere🤷
I’ll just let any psychologists considering this path know: Our generation will not be as kind to you as our elders were to the likes of Barlow and Hayes.
Loved working with @hannahcarlon.bsky.social who used critical discourse analysis to assess how US opinion news media portrays harm reduction. Spoilers: Over 80% of opinion media in 2023-2024 was positive, yet stigmatizing language abounds. 50 days free access: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kvxI3PEro...

We made a mock #cannabis dispensary for @iasatusc.bsky.social to use for research. Check out a detailed description of how we did it, including interviews w/ dispensary staff and our plan for stocking with product packaging. @uscpsychiatry.bsky.social publications.sciences.ucf.edu/cannabis/ind...
I love science and the people in it and I will never stop fighting for it.
yay #CPA2025 was a blast! Providence was beautiful and more importantly, it was so fulfilling to be with other passionate researchers who care so much about keeping good (and trans inclusive!) science alive. Grateful to share this field with such amazing people!
A phenomenal #CPA2025 @apadivision50.bsky.social! Devastating to hear the tremendous damage inflicted by senseless HHS/NIH/FDA cuts to so many in our community, and also so nourishing to be together and support each other during these times. As promised, a new starter pack: go.bsky.app/SnnMai2
In the past month, the NIH terminated many ISGMH grants focused on HIV prevention, LGBTQ health, and training early career scholars. The effect on our institute has been devastating. Director @mustanski.bsky.social spoke to @nbcnews.com about the impact. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...
Trump administration axes more than $125M in LGBTQ health funding, upending research field
The administration’s cancellation of hundreds of grants is dismantling the LGBTQ-focused research field, built out of nothing over a quarter century.

during a time when research by and for trans individuals is under attack, I'm feeling very grateful to be presenting some findings on substance use among trans and gender diverse youth at #CPA2025 @apadivision50.bsky.social. Come see my poster (# 35) and say hi at today's session! :)
