Looks like another "NIH" statement passed down by the Trump/MAGA political appointees. (We hear that DOGE people are showing up at #NIH meetings, like Soviet apparatchiks, to monitor NIH leaders.) This move is to harm NIH. Why? See below in thread: 719183 0

The American people didn’t vote for this. Not even close to 49.8% did. 228198 0

I was a pre-med going through the motions but my summer at the NIH captivated me & showed me a different path. I was overjoyed when the first trainee from my own lab went last summer & also had a magical experience. This is a devastating loss 830169 0

Your goal now is to DELAY. Public opinion is shifting. Do not let the DOGE bros kill grants and research by altering the finance systems. www.wired.com/story/...wired.comDOGE Is Inside the National Institutes of Health’s Finance SystemAt least three people linked to Elon Musk’s DOGE task force have access to NIH systems that control budgets, procurement, and more, according to records and internal documents viewed by WIRED. 421855 0

etphd.bsky.social @etphd.bsky.social · 22/02/2025I was in multiple meetings yesterday where faculty— thought leaders— expressed fear of giving nonpartisan guidance on things directly related to their fields of expertise.

Trump is susceptible to public pressure! They want to do their coup in the dark. As we’ve been saying, science must speak to the public now. 🧪 832575 0
