Lots of detail from inside NIH on all the damage from @jocelynkaiser.bsky.social. www.science.org/content/arti...
How the Trump administration is dismantling science in the U.S.
The scientific workforce, biomedical research, and global health initiatives all face widespread, perhaps permanent damage

Here's the video; thanks to folks who sent it to me. Pls watch to the end; it heats up about 2/3 of the way through, but of course, the true impact is in how comprehensive the damage to public health is - watching it all will give you a fuller sense of the s* we're in. youtu.be/8H34jcpEsFs?...

J. Offir, PhD@joffirphd.bsky.social · last yr.🖥 Good John Oliver episode tonight on RFK, HHS medical research cuts, & the destruction of American public health. The examples are all ones we've been talking about here, but now you can get a review of all of them, all at once, very fast, in a British accent, & w/ jokes about diabetes & diarrhea.
A truly remarkable resignation letter from a physician who was the chief medical officer in an institute within NIH, published in a medical journal. Containing also some proposals for what science culture and organization should do now. www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1513/...

Excellent social media panel yesterday with @leahmay.bsky.social @tamargurmdphd.bsky.social and Lana Grasser for #SOBP2025. We collectively mourned the loss of science community we had on Twitter. Can we bring it back here ? What is the future of connecting with our colleagues?
How meta 💙
Dr. Connor Haggarty@connorhaggarty.bsky.social · last yr.Great panel on the benefits of Social Media use, how we can promote ourselves and our work, and how we need to engage more on BlueSky (😜) With @mayoonthebrain.bsky.social @scientificruvvy.bsky.social & @tamargurmdphd.bsky.social #SOBP2025

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last yr.Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.
After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.
It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.
Collecting my thoughts at the end of one of the worst days of my life... At NIH, > 1300 people were RIFed. These range all across the board from institute directors to low level administrative staff. Communication staff and procurement appear to be hardest hit as anticipated from the HHS plan 1/n
Before sunrise, Trump and DOGE fired thousands of federal workers across HHS, including many of my constituents. Let’s fire DOGE and get these devoted and critical public servants back on the job. My full statement: raskin.house.gov/2025/4/raski...
