The ocean absorbs 90% of excess heat from climate change. Yet until recently, nearly 60% of those waters have been left unprotected. The High Seas Treaty changes that: nature.ly/4arksDX

OMB’s proposed rule would hand political appointees final say over every NIH grant. Comment period closes July 13. This is the most direct threat to publicly funded medicine I’ve seen in my career. fight2win.standupforscience.net #Science #PublicHealth #MedTwitter

It’s the Bethesda Declaration’s birthday — to mark the occasion, 73 NIHers have a report outlining ongoing concerns, which have become “more insidious and systematized, but no less harmful” as @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social put it www.statnews.com/2026/06/09/n...

NIH staffers published a letter of dissent a year ago. They feel it’s been ignored

In a report published on the first anniversary of the Bethesda Declaration, 71 staffers write that they feel NIH leadership “largely ignored" their concerns

One year since the Bethesda Declaration, 300+ NIH dissenters are still fighting. Today @27unihted dropped a new report on political interference in NIH peer review. Read it. Share it. This is what courage looks like. 27unihted.org #StandUpForScience #NIH

🔬 The OMB just proposed rules that would let political appointees override peer-reviewed science funding decisions. As physicians & informaticists, this hits home. Comment period closes July 13. → fight2win.standupforscience.net #StandUpForScience #Medicine #PublicHealth

Two months after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, in June 2022, Idaho’s trigger ban outlawing most abortions—one of the strictest nationwide—took effect. According to a new peer-reviewed paper study, Idaho lost more than a third of its OBs—94 of 268 total—afterwards.

1/ Last week, RFK Jr’s FDA convened a panel to review the safety of #SSRIs (a class of antidepressants) during pregnancy. Of the 10 panelists, 9 were known critics of antidepressants, many with conflicts of interest. The conversation focused almost entirely on risks—ignoring critical context. 🧵

RFK Jr. just fired thousands of federal workers at crucial health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and NIH. These are the people who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and cures. How is this "Making America Healthy Again"?

1/ The first #ACIP meeting with RFK Jr.’s handpicked members wrapped up yesterday. Over 4,000 tuned in—a level of attention we haven’t seen since the pandemic. And for good reason: these meetings shape vaccine policy, coverage, timing, access and availability. Here's what happened 👇

Why don’t EHRs do a better job flagging social determinants of health? We track every drug interaction but miss food insecurity and housing instability. Our data priorities reveal our values—not always aligned with what drives health.

Every healthcare IT decision is a moral decision. Systems that prioritize billing over workflow say profit matters more than providers. AI that works better for insured patients codes inequality into care. Clinical informatics either advances equity or undermines it. #ClinicalInformatics
