Abolishing the NIH has always been this admin’s plan. They told us in Project 2025. They’ve SHOWN us with their actions over the past 18 months. This is why a heads down approach will not work. The scientific community has 2 options: oppose this with all we’ve got, or let them carry out their plan.

In normal times, the fact that government officials at HHS blatantly lied to the public and got caught would be a scandal of unusual size. Everyone involved in this disinformation scheme against the people of the United States should be held accountable.

It feels somehow disingenuous or tone deaf to fully celebrate Artemis II as the Trump administration guts science at NASA and across the government and country. As they close the Goddard library and toss out its critical data…

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today. That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

Loved having (almost) the whole lab in attendance at the #CancerNeuro26 meeting in Houston last week! Such a great meeting full of catching up with friends and building new collaborations! Big thanks to Wiley’s #AdvancedPortfolio for continuing to support the #cancerneuroscience field.

“Bhattacharya’s trick, one well-known by all the billionaires that have supported him over the years, is to ask for freedom of speech for speech he likes, while ignoring free speech principles when others are persecuted for speech he doesn’t like. DEI is a good example.”

A new NIH mandate, announced last week, would get rid of funding opportunities that use animal research exclusively; neuroscientists worry this is premature. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/animal-model...

NIH proposal on animal research could cost time and money
NIH will no longer include research that exclusively uses animal models, leaving scientists wondering how it might affect the future of animal research.

Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why.
Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.
