Understood, just wanted to reiterate what's at stake.

Calling it a "clown show" or a "soap opera" seems to imply that there is no real-world impact. That it's just a performance.

To be clear: these "theatrics" will have devastating consequences to FDA and its stakeholders that may take decades to overcome.

Thrilled that my new piece with @drsinhaesq.bsky.social is out. We review different funding models for research and stress the importance of public funding for two reasons: (1) It can support non-profit-driven research, and (2) It can serve as a bulwark against corporate influence over science.

The Utah Law Review's annual Lee E. Teitelbaum Symposium is here! We're exploring how the FDA's medical product vetting might be strengthened—while defending it from interference.

Amazing panels this morning with top experts from law schools, med schools, journalism, and more.
