Kinda hilarious anyone wants to pretend these people are motivated by anything other than barbarous cruelty & violence. It's *grotesque*.
America empowered the worst of its own in electing Trump, and in turn, he has empowered the worst of America.

American scientists: maybe just pretending as though we aren't subject to the capricious whims of a mad king *isn't* a sensible strategy? The damage to #research, to scientific progress, & to #PublicHealth is going to be generational. We *must* respond accordingly.

Go to scienceimpacts.org to see the effects of disastrous #NIH, #CDC, #NSF & other federal funding cuts on your community (somewhat conservatively estimated, I think). Grim picture for Tennessee & Nashville/Davidson Co. with losses in the *hundreds of millions* 😔
Thanks @joshuasweitz.bsky.social 👍🏾

Just a quick reminder from my colleague Dr. Tara McKay: inclusion of #women and #minorities in research is still federal law ( #PublicHealth & Welfare, amended 2007 ).

Message sent to a friend from #CDC (do not want to reveal identity for fear of retaliation).
No notes for my own NIH projects yet (thankfully); NIH has asked other colleagues to scrub language from public-facing websites to comply with this same EO, though.

I may be biased (former scared/closeted gay teen here), but the more we, the voting public, bully #queer youth & remove protections from them, the more we endanger them (higher depression/anxiety/suicidality) & reveal our own barbarity.
This is unacceptable.

Aaaand…national #HIV, #HCV, #TB, & #STI data at the county & state levels are now missing…similar blackout for #CDC #SVI.
For how long? Can’t ask CDC colleagues because of the communications blackout…
In the meantime, some key #SDOH data are here (h/t @nrupen.bsky.social):

Don't know if it'll convince clinicians, but these include discussion of why not to condition on future events:
PMIDS: 39188581, 22081496
You could also conceptualize this as a mediation problem; "peeking ahead" at exposure/risk factor data is ≡ conditioning on an exposure-outcome mediator...

Today I came across this pic I took of my desk during my master's/PhD years (~11-15 years ago now 😳). I was really lucky I had a dedicated landing space & I tried to make it a little more "me." Anyone else have a fun workspace in grad school? #AcademicSky #PhDSky #EpiSky #StatsSky
