Quoted along with other Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University researchers, “it’s somewhat irresponsible not to have a system in place that you want to move to before you stop the system that
does exist right now, and for the most part is working.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/h...

An underestimate of the impact on rigorous, life-saving research impacted by thoughtless terminations at NIH. It’s dubious to be amongst the top affected universities. My colleagues were doing research that would undoubtedly impact the health of America & beyond. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This is a horrifying bill and harkens back to the Germany of the late 1930s and McCarthy-ism America. Transgender individuals exist and have a right to live their lives safely and freely with the care and support deserved by every person. www-nbcnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.nbcn...
Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a state jail felony
The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.

Transgender individuals exist and bring tremendous contributions to our society. We cannot erase their existence and allow the hateful actions of this administration impact their wellbeing.

It is very disturbing that two long-time top leaders of NIH have stepped down in two days. Leaves a vacuum of leadership and ethics.
