Erasing science doesn’t make ‘undesirable’ problems go away—it makes them worse. The #NIH is terminating grants. LGBTQ+ health research is a clear target. LGBTQ+ people face stigma & violence. This research saves lives. Let’s not stay silent. Terminated grants 👇🏻 taggs.hhs.gov/Content/Data...

Newborn babies exposed to measles in Texas hospital
Infants barely three days old are receiving antibody injections to help protect against the virus. Nearly 300 cases have been reported in the outbreak.

By Erika Edwards
On Wednesday, a woman gave birth in a Lubbock, Texas, hospital in the middle of a deadly and fast-growing measles outbreak. Doctors didn’t realize until the young mother had been admitted and in labor that she was infected with the measles.

By that time, other new moms, newborn babies and their families at University Medical Center Children’s Hospital in Lubbock had unknowingly been exposed to the virus, considered one of the most contagious in the world.

Really appreciated this editorial so nicely stating how important it is for medical and public health professionals to actively speak out against policies that harm health. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This is a very good story on the uncertainty created by the disruption to NIH activity — and how the stakes are highest for the most junior scholars. There's also a submission form at the bottom to share your experiences if the pause has impacted you. www.statnews.com/2025/01/24/t...

I'm hearing through colleagues that this is the source of the NIH study section cancellations. From the link - need for contracts/grants to agree to comply with the "anti-discrimination" laws and having terms to certify they do not operate programs promoting DEI.

This is worrisome. NIH study sections canceled? Mine is scheduled to meet next month. Not sure if it's still happening. Study sections are basically volunteer. We do it to give back to the process that supported us and to support science. Impact could be lasting www.science.org/content/arti...

“This is a time for more science, not less, and for the value of science to be defended and promoted … To generate evidence. To correct misinformation. To create accountability. And to engage.” The Lancet www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This is a time for more science, not less, and for the value of science to be defended and promoted. For scientific institutions and the career scientists who staff them—particularly those working with and within the Trump administration—the priority is to continue their work. To generate evidence. To correct misinformation. To create accountability. And to engage. Federal agency scientists working with the incoming administration have been described as a key guardrail against the worst politicisation of science. COVID-19 showed that respected and capable scientists can exert valuable influence in even the most trying political environments by taking an open and non-partisan approach. No doubt many will be called on to do so again over the next 4 years. It will be no easy task, requiring a clear-eyed sense of pragmatism, a steadfast belief in the value of scientific principles, and a good deal of courage.
