I have known Carl for 2 decades and he is smart, dedicated, and quite apolitical, focused on science and getting stuff done on important problems.
Huge unnecessary loss of leadership and expertise.

Hearing news that Carl Dieffenbach, the Director of the Division of AIDS at #NIH (NIAID), has been removed from his position because he was "not aligned with HHS/OMB."
Russell Vought continues to remove great scientists as part of the Project 2025 mission to politicize and destroy NIH.

The physicians who supported, empowered & lifted up RFK Jr & his extreme anti-vaxx MAHA movement—physicians like Drs Cassidy, Bhattacharya, Oz, Makary & Prasad—will have ONE single legacy: suffering & death from the dismantling of the US vaccination system & the return of vaccine-preventable disease
TAPPER: Dr Cassidy, RFK Jr lied to you
CASSIDY: First let me say what's most important -- vaccines are safe.

I have seen this uptick first hand in the number of grant applications submitted through Duke. We used to see 1 maybe 2 per cycle. In this most recent cycle, there were 3. This also doesn’t include participation in MSCA applications.
ERC starter grant applications from US researchers nearly triple in 2025 compared to 2024 as Trump restricts funding. Good for "Choose Europe" initiatives, but dire for global and national science, given the limited volume of non-US funding available.

My quote of the day
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.

I don't know the normal timeline for PubMed publication posting (since I never felt a reason to track it in the past) but the number does not appear to be increasing fast enough to catch up to expectation.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

New in PN: Brett Kavanaugh explains that SCOTUS really IS doing racism
"Five justices calculated that it was better to remain silent and be thought of as a bunch of racist hacks than to speak out and remove all doubt. But Kavanaugh, channeling his inner Col. Jessup, refused to sign on to the plan."

The NIH Director appearing in a video attacking mRNA vaccines the day after a gunman attacked the CDC driven by antivax conspiracy theories is not a good look. It is disrespectful to our CDC colleagues and the NIH employees who work at CDC offices. It also makes NIH employees feel less safe.
NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, who has been very sincerely lamenting the politicization of science, just did Steve Bannon’s War Room.
