Those of us doing research related to women’s health have been hit particularly hard by the govt’s sabotage of the NIH. I spoke to WaPo for this piece, as painful as it was to discuss the reality my lab is facing. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

Today's @nytimes.com dialogue with Ross Douthat & Jay Bhattacharya is tough sledding. I wrote a book on how silent transmission made COVID harder to stop and drove misleading narratives. The interview continues to mislead as a means to seize more power. a 🧵 www.amazon.com/Asymptomatic...

My weekly update (Grants with Notice of Award dates up to 1/23/26) All projects 1/3
A line graph showing all NIH projects funded through January 23, 2026 for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal years 2021-2025. The fiscal year 2026 curve lies substantially below the other curves.

New powerful article up in the New York Times on cancelled and delayed grants www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
nytimes.com
Here Are the Nearly 2,500 Medical Research Grants Canceled or Delayed by Trump (Gift Article)
Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

Jay Bhattacharya’s committee vote in the Senate is tomorrow at 10am. Tell your Senators you want them to vote no. And tell your Stanford colleagues they can still speak out against Bhattacharya. His full Senate vote is likely next week.
