The cover of this week’s Economist.

The headline says “Only 1361 days to go”
The picture in black and white with a cream background is of a badly injured bald eagle. Its legs are in bandages with strapping around its neck and on its head. Some of its feathers are lying on the ground, detached painfully from its body.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

The recent firings at the CDC have led to the dismissal of key researchers focused on TBI raising concerns about the future of critical TBI research and the potential impact on public health initiatives aimed at understanding and mitigation. #TraumaticBrainInjury #TBI www.science.org/content/arti...

Former President Obama brings his calm and steady leadership style to us once again to remind us of our power: “It is up to all of us to fix this. It's not going to be because somebody comes and saves you. The most important office in this democracy is the citizen—who says, no, that's not right.”

🚨 #PediatricTBI Research at Risk! 🚨 💔 1 in 4 kids will have a TBI before 16. Massive cuts to HHS, CDC & ACL impact their futures. ⚠️ These cuts mean: ❌ Fewer treatments options ❌ Less access to essential programs ❌ Widening health disparities Call your reps, support TBI orgs & spread the word!

With today's massive #HHS cuts, I'm wondering if anyone out there has been downloading the #CDC website data and resources. I don't know how to do this but am guessing some brilliant folks already have. #SaveTheData #HealthDataBackup #ProtectPublicHealth #DataPreservation

🧠 Kids with #TBI need supports that work. 💚 🔬 Research funding: to understand & build better tools 💸 Medicaid access: to cover rehab, therapies, & care 📚 Special education services: IEPs, 504s, and accommodations These lifelines are under threat! ➡️ Let’s fight for action, not just awareness.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

🧠 #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth Students with TBI deserve support, not silence. The Department of Education #DOE protects: ✔️ Special Ed rights ✔️ IEPs/504s ✔️ Funding + oversight Calls to eliminate it would devastate kids with #TBI. We need more support, not less. #TBI #ProtectDOE

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

I'm just going to (re)post this whenever I need to remind myself. Maybe it'll help you too? 1. Focus on things in your control & take ONE action there. 2. Limit your inputs. You can't help if you're paralyzed.

It was true a month ago and it’s even more true now. Please consider going to NIH RePORTER to look up how much money your state gets from NIH funding, and then write to your elected representatives about the impact that ending NIH grant review will have. No NIH study section==no NIH funding.

If you're not in research, its hard to understand how far and wide this impact will be. Everything from individual researchers to entire institutions that have research as the central mission. Devastating indeed.....
