Trump administration axes more than $125M in LGBTQ health funding, upending research field
The administration’s cancellation of hundreds of grants is dismantling the LGBTQ-focused research field, built out of nothing over a quarter-century.

Please take a second to read my statement on the termination of the Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV Interventions. This is devastating to science but even more so to the youth impacted. Thank you

We know Trump & Elon are corrupt. We’ve learned even more in the past 48 hours: 🚙 Trump’s State Department tried to funnel $400 million to Tesla. 💰 Elon received $38 billion in government contracts, loans, & tax credits. 🛰️ The FAA gave a contract to Elon’s company Starlink, worth billions.

Personally I just think things like NIH, USAID, education programs , Medicare, social security are better things to do with tax money than getting that money to businesses like spaceX and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. #oligarchy

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this: Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.

This is really bad and devastating to research and science. Grants have direct and indirect costs - both needed to carry out a project. This will make doing research in academic institutions and hospitals pretty much impossible. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

The NIH Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office website has been taken down. LGBTQ+ people are disproportionately subjected to violence, discrimination & stigma, affecting their health outcomes. Ignoring these facts endangers us all. #MedSky #LGBT #LGBTQ #NIH #research #science

So happy that Biden has issued preemptive pardons for those public servants who should not have to spend their time and money defending their innocence in service to our country and have committed no crime. A preemptive pardon should not be necessary but for threats of persecution.

This is a picture of a dog who thinks the way to help when the smoke detector starts chirping at 5am is to jump out of bed, run to the other part of the house, vigorously try to get into a different bedroom, and squeeze out three half-shits as you run.
