Our thoughts are with the staff of the CDC, members of the Emory community and the family and friends of the slain officer, but they deserve more than thoughts and prayers. They deserve real action by leaders to make their community, and every community, a healthy and safe environment for all.

I never wanted to have smart devices until I had kids and now the remote to my fan is missing bc it got used as a pretend cell phone and now I'm cold but I can't turn the fan off bc I'm too short ❄️❄️❄️

A wastewater surveillance program detected measles virus in Houston well before cases were reported, new study in APHA's American Journal of Public Health finds: ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/epdf/10....

The average cost for having a child is about $13,393 for delivery alone. Families spend approximately $12,472 annually or $1,039 per month on daycare. So while elected officials celebrate Mother’s Day, they should also pass universal healthcare and universal childcare ASAP.

You know what I’ve learned teaching in a medical school? The greatest health concern for a pregnant woman in America is MURDER. It is dangerous for a woman here to get pregnant because she might get killed by the child’s father. That’s the crisis of masculinity.

After being stabbed in the eye today with the pointy end of a pipe cleaner, I am deeply regretting ever having said something annoyed me so much it made me want to stab my eye out.

Tomorrow I'll be speaking about our terminated NIH grant on Charlotte Talks, a local live podcast that airs on WFAE at 9am and 7pm, and can be streamed here: www.wfae.org/show/charlot... #academicsky #terminatedscience

Welp. I spoke that into existence. I definitely need to emotionally prepare for Monday surprises now.

I thought the Friday surprises were supposed to come on Fridays?? Do I need to emotionally prepare for Monday surprises now??

It’s a heist movie but just with a bunch of humanities scholars trying to get their grant money back.

This story by the Charlotte Observer begins to put into words the impacts of the termination of one grant I worked on. Many more layers of impact to unpack. #academicsky www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/e...

UNC Charlotte researcher’s grant cut for focusing on LGBTQ health, she says

The federal government letter she received claimed research programs based on gender identity are “unscientific” and do “nothing to enhance the health of many Americans.”

Every time I've worked with an HHS employee as part of my grants, I've had two thoughts. 1. Holy shit that person is smart AND 2. Wow, they were so nice. Today's Reduction In Force layoffs are cruel to staff whose life mission it was to make the world a safer and healthier place. #academicsky

Major update over the weekend to our spreadsheet tracking terminated NIH grants. 👇 Improvements include: - more grant metadata, including Congressional reps and their phone numbers - data from more sources to complement PI-submitted information - better data integrity and reproducibility 1/

While I appreciate the coverage this is a vaaaaaaaast undercount. There are over 300 grants and counting!!

CNN@cnn.com · last yr.

A surge of grant cancellations hit researchers focused on the health of gay, lesbian and transgender people last week, as the Trump administration continues to target what it describes as ideologically driven science.

YALL. Grant terminations are STILL trickling in. We have got to get litigation going!! For our students. For our participants. For our communities!!

Anyone else lowkey freaking out about what is going to happen with NIH Loan Repayment Program applications? As of today the Health Disparities Research (L60) is still listed, but it feels like they cannot possibly award these? Any current awardees have any disruptions? #academicsky
