While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!

A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world.

Did you know that science labs work like small business entrepreneurs? Faculty hired on strength of ideas, get some startup $ to last 3-4 yrs. After that is grants- grants pay all our + our trainees’ salaries + scientific work. Funding in this country is frozen. That means scientific work stops

Thread on Jay Bhattacharya's weak scientific bona fides. Let's look at his CV.

Too many scientists are saying "Bhattacharya has NIH funding, he can't be that bad."

No. He wants revenge. He hasn't gotten an NIH grant since 2017, and the two grants then were only as a stats/econ consultant.

Approximately 10% of the NIH staff were fired yesterday. Barely anyone outside of the scientific community noticed, and I'd wager a sizeable number of NIH funded PIs have no idea either.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health.

I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

@bsky.app, can we get:

- better/advanced search

Please and thank you.
