Clinical trials are under attack from the Trump administration.

@washingtonpost.com reported on a new JAMA paper that shows grants for 383 clinical trials were terminated from the end of February to August, affecting more than 74,000 trial participants.

The rationale behind these studies, Seltzer contests, is [that] “it presumes that the patient had never heard of exercise until a doctor told them [it] exists.”

Thanks to Simon Spichak for putting this idea into print. I've said multiple times in interviews that it's the strangest part... 🧵

friends, thank you so so much ❤️

i'm almost there- i literally just need $170 to be able to pay for radiation!!!!

please can 17 of you send $10 towards that?

also, can someone please help me to get home (i'm gonna need about $38 ASAP)

i didn't i'd get to go home today

PLEASE?
please help if you can 🙏🏽

i had to use some of the money i received for radiation to pay the consultation fees of another specialist.

that means i need a little over 100% of the goal.

please help me reach it asap?radiation will help reduce the tumor & hopefully the doctors can do a resection again
if you can spare anything,

i am behind on utilities & need medication.

i also need the last bit to be able to start radiation therapy. (see ko-fi goal)

Yesterday, i found out before my brother's funeral that my long time friend and mentor Alice Wong had passed. I wasn't able to say something sooner but her loss has really hit me.

@sfdirewolf.bsky.social was one of the first people in the disability community to befriend me and embrace me.
