Asha asking Usha, interesting? You reminded me of the musical Mangeshkar sisters! 👯‍♀️
I always wondered whether First or Second Ladies have much to say and be heard especially in a relationship when the men are boisterous?

Dr Mulugeta Gebregziabher @profmulugeta.bsky.social · Feb 26

One of the conditions that’s affecting the stability of #Tigray is indecision. When there is some kind of decision, even approved by super majority, the indecision to implement it is unbearably bad. While reasons vary, the culprit is Abiy’s govt. Sadly it’s affecting lives of millions. #Peace4Tigray

NIH cuts legal?
Current law:
Read the 2024 bill that is still in effect today & has been in each HHS appropriations bill since 2018👇🏾

Yuval Levin:
“What the NIH announced last Friday is probably ILLEGAL.”

“In <1month, the Trump administration has frozen research funds, halted health communications & publications, vanished decades of health &behavior data from its websites, terminated federally funded studies & prompted researchers to scrub extensive lists of terms from manuscripts & grant proposals.”

Dr Mulugeta Gebregziabher @profmulugeta.bsky.social · Feb 15

“Under that system (we pay, you do), science has flourished, turning the government’s investment into technological innovation & economic growth. Every dollar invested in research and development has been estimated to return at least $5 on average-billions annually.”
Why break this system? @npr.org

The Atlantic @theatlantic.com · Feb 14

For decades, the U.S. has funded science, then left scientists to direct their own work. Science has flourished, and the country has benefited. Now the government is testing just how much it can renegotiate that relationship, Katherine J. Wu writes:

The Erasing of American Science

How far can the Trump administration bend U.S. research before it breaks?
