Molly Franke @mollyfranke.bsky.social · 15/05/2025All 4 of my NIH research grants are terminated. These were grants on MDR-TB treatment & strategies for supporting adolescents living w/ HIV. This is a massive waste of resources. I am heartbroken for my Harvard team, my partners in Peru, the next generation of scientists & our country. Shame. 25513161

The Gang of Four: Memoli, McElroy, Schnabel, Bhattacharya. There are others, but these men play major day-to-day roles, they are the implementers, the enforcers, the true believers. www.thenation.com/article/poli...thenation.comInside the Bloodbath at the NIHSources say that a climate of fear has spread throughout the agency as the Trump administration takes a hatchet to its core functions. 717187

But the longer we allow a curable illness to infect and kill millions, the more TB we'll see in the U.S. Tuberculosis is an airborne disease, and TB anywhere is a threat to humans everywhere. 241726227
