NIH grants have been under political scrutiny since early 2025. But what does the screening process actually look like? What is being flagged? I spent a month digging into leaked docs and emails. We've published the 235-word list that are being flagged by an internal AI tool. And so much more. 🧵

Thank you so much for covering our #McClintockLetters initiative. A major part of this success is the collabs between people at other institutions like @erinmorrow.bsky.social @bdavisbio.bsky.social @rosemalb.bsky.social @jonj-udd.bsky.social @ksxue.bsky.social @mjarnett.bsky.social and many others!

Strength in numbers for the scientific enterprise! Very happy to have joined the Philadelphia #StandUpForScience rally today, and to have seen so many other people there. These are hard times to be in science and science policy in a lot of ways, but inspiring ones as well!
