Call to action thread 🚨🚨🚨
Opportunity below! We’ve been hearing from you, the grantees impacted by the devastating cuts to NIH funded biomedical and health research. We understand that you wish to speak out but are in need of a platform. So we made a platform just for you called Biomedical Beats

“Government employees love helping the community. Even though they're like ‘how do I pay for my stuff?,’ they're still offering to help,” said Anna Culbertson of @27unihted.bsky.social. “I think there's something really beautiful to that.”

Scientists had to change more than 700 grant titles to receive NIH funding. Health disparities researchers fear what’s next
The titles of more than 700 multi-year NIH grants have been changed this year, according to an analysis by Jeremy Berg, a former agency official

Thanks @markhisted.org for calling attention to something we were very afraid of and are grateful did not happen. A great reminder to continue to speak up about the illegal terminations of NIHs staff, and the overall impact is has and continues to have on vital programs.
My reax to the big planned NIH shutdown firing news from @politico.com:
The Project 2025 ppl didn’t do big (illegal) NIH firings because they know there would be public outcry.
Keep speaking up!

Thanks so much for highlighting our post on the former director of NIMHD!
🧵1) When Dr. Eliseo Pérez-Stable became the Director of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) in 2015, he brought a vision: that the science of minority health should go beyond describing disparities - it should uncover why they exist in the first place.

Today I kicked off No Kings Day with hundreds of fired up patriots at NIH who are standing up to this lawless president.
Together we said NO to his attacks on public health.
NO to his assault on our Constitution.
NO to kings in America.
And YES to standing up for our democracy.

On October 1st, four #NIH directors and one high ranking official were all terminated. This is a devastating loss for our agency and our country. We spoke to some of their colleagues to learn about them and their amazing work.

Thanks so much @markhisted.org for speaking out on this important topic
Recently I learned that civil servants have the First Amendment-protected right to speak out on matters of public concern.
Thurgood Marshall, in an 8-1 SCOTUS decision, noted that government employees know how the gov’t works, and the public has a special interest in hearing from them.

It is worth watching this linked video. The student's assertions that teaching about gender is illegal based on executive order is completely false. See, for example, civicsforlife.org/executive-ac... .
The capitulation of officials at Texas A&M to these tactics are shameful and dangerous.

A professor at Texas A&M taught… something related to gender that offended a student, who secretly filmed herself objecting. That video is picked up by TX legislators, who demand her firing, and now the dean and dept head have been fired.

We have heard from multiple sources that RIFs of the remaining coms and policy staff will be taking place, although nothing is set in stone till it happens. Please spread the word and contact your legislators ! These 53 people are doing extremely important work. Let’s try to keep it that way!
The RIFs are expected to target comms & policy folks missed in the April 1 RIF - if this affects you, please considering reaching out to @27unihted.bsky.social who has been a powerful support for the NIH RIF'd and probationary community. Or DM me and I can connect you with folks who can support.
