Jay Bhattacharya’s priorities do not consider the needs of patients, caregivers or frontline clinicians. They are not informed by researchers. And they are problematic and unscientific in several places. 🧵 1/5 www.science.org/content/arti...

NIH director orders new review of grants in outline of top research priorities
Many topics on Bhattacharya’s list are familiar, but order to re-evaluate grants draws concerns

5/5 Please share how science matters to you. What excites you about science? Why is science rewarding? How does your research impact society? What ways has science improved your life? Speak up for science, stand up for science.

4/5 Science and its many discoveries have generated multiple folds of returns and it will be to a great loss to all of us to undermine the infrastructure and foundation of science.

3/5 Science is not a "cost" to be cut, it is an investment for our communities, our well-being as a society, and our collective success in all areas including in education, healthcare, business, environment, and more.

2/5 I shared about the immediate and future impacts of having two of my NIH grants terminated. Many other investigators and research teams in Philadelphia are now similarly impacted. I am heartbroken to hear these stories growing by the day and hour from so many of my colleagues and friends.

Penn president says federal government has halted $175 million in research funding to faculty
The halted payments follow comments from a Trump administration official last week that $175 million in federal funding would be paused because Penn allowed a transgender athlete to compete.

Such evidence will contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between structural stigma and tobacco use and cessation behaviors, inform context-specific tobacco prevention and control interventions, and advocacy to dismantle structural stigma among SGM populations

Andy Tan @andysltan.bsky.social · 03/12/2024
Our aim is to stimulate additional research that incorporates measures of structural stigma experienced by SGM people and to consider how it intersects with structural stigma that individuals may experience due to their other identities (e.g.,race/ethnicity or where they live) to impact tobacco use

Andy Tan @andysltan.bsky.social · 03/12/2024
In this essay, we examine the role of structural stigma in tobacco use and control within SGM populations
