THIS is outrageous and scary! RFK making his own journal that appears to be associated with a medical society.There is no such thing as the Academy of Public Health! They can use this to make false claims in medicine and science, including for vaccines. These are not peer reviewed nor scientific!

Thx @daniellebeckman.bsky.social. Members of BSCs across NIH Institutes have been terminated without explanation. It has definitely caused chaos. This interference in scientific research inside and out of NIH is unprecedented and destructive, for current & future scientists, and for our health.

Social media is fun because you basically just talk to yourself and sometimes a stranger replies to yell at you about why you’re wrong

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

NIH awards have quite literally flatlined since the change in administration. Council meetings, where the decisions on which grants to fund are made, are being canceled daily. No meetings, no decisions, no grants. The freeze is most definitely on, folks.

If anyone doesn’t care about the devastating to research & medicine - this will ALSO massively impact education at universities and colleges. Fewer faculty hires = bigger classes & fewer undergrad opportunities. And lost revenue will need to be made up meaning… *higher tuition costs for students*

Just got word that our Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Inclusive Excellence 3 (IE3) Grant was being canceled. All 100+ institutions. So even private funding is susceptible to this administration’s unraveling of DEI initiatives

Literally watching everything I care about and love being dismantled by ignorance and racism. I'm doubling down on finding other ways to support students who otherwise would never have the opportunity. If it weren't for these programs I would have never even known what research was.

It was such a pleasure to Chair a session at the 2025 Winter Conference on Brain Research and I’m lucky I got to present the lab’s recent work with such a talented group of scientists. It’s been a great meeting and a bit of an escape from the chaos we will return to tomorrow. #WCBR2025 #WCBR25
