Pace RFK Jr, a @science.org investigation found that doctors on CDC's now-fired Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices made less from industry than their specialist peers; five of 13 made nothing at all. @mariashriver.bsky.social Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

RFK Jr. says federal vaccine advisers are beholden to industry. The evidence does not support him

One impact of the NSF freeze: They fund the small nonprofit, EarthScope, that manages seismic and GPS stations used worldwide to detect and warn of earthquakes and navigate autonomous vehicles. EarthScope can maybe make payroll this week. A prolonged freeze could see stations fail.
