I don’t care about salacious birthday cards from 25 years ago. I care about public health, upholding of the laws of the country, and supporting the most vulnerable. Among other things. Congress, and Senate, get to work on what’s really important.

Continued admiration for NIH colleagues who continue to toil in less than ideal environment in their passion to support science and innovation that only NIH funds.

Furious that NIH is holding up grant money for a noncompetitive continuation that is supporting a randomized controlled trial in full swing despite approval by the specific institute and money already allocated. Being DOGE’d to ensure no forbidden science. Clinical sites at wit’s end!

The current state of NIH is the epitome of waste- once the scientific institute vets the carry forward request, it goes into a black box where someone (political) outside the scientific institute has to approve the carry forward request before it is released. a thread...🧵

Hard to know how to respond to one after another jaw dropping bits of news from HHS and Kennedy- do we crawl under a bush and hope it just goes away? My weapon is to try to connect with others in a meaningful way in professional and personal life. Others who have different world views.

Some good news to keep me buoyed- in the past 6 months my three junior faculty mentees got scores of 20 (4th percentile), 24 (9th percentile) and 20 (3rd percentile) on their K23 grants, the first of which was just funded. Waiting to hear on the other two. Bright future for addiction research!!

"NIH is given till April 8 ... for a 35% cut in services." This isn't entirely correct, and it matters enormously for getting NIH science done. A quick 🧵: 1/ - NIH has many scientists, many senior, who work as contract employees. www.statnews.com/202... 🧪

Grieving for the loss of what I thought would be a stable presence in public health and addiction policy and research - NSDUH, SAMHSA, NIH, CDC. While this is indeed a reorganization, you can’t get back the institutional/substantive knowledge and human relationships essential to functional systems
