Essentially, and unlike "health equity" research, "health disparities" research can be used (or misused) to promote a MAHA narrative that blames people for their own "bad" health. 3/ bsky.app/profile/jess...

Science is under siege. Political forces are undermining expertise, dismantling research institutions, and replacing evidence based policymaking with ideology. This is a global crisis. 🧵 1/31

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

I have a new Substack out today. It talks about the infamous National Science Foundation's "banned words" list and how the administration's cancellation of "woke" science and DEI initiatives is a thin smokescreen to undermine science & research more broadly. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

I talked to NIH officials, current and former, about what's been happening inside the agency since the Trump administration shut down their grantmaking pipeline in January. Their stories showed just how willing our new leaders are to break the law: www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Tomorrow is my last day as a junior/resident doctor. My learning: - Nurses, pharmacists, AMHPs, HCAs: we love you - Nothing beats a good clerking - Ancient tech lives on in healthcare - The NHS is imperfect. But also, magnificent - Practising psychiatry: truly, a privilege - Take more photos at work
