No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No Apple. No Visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook. I will not be posting on Meta platforms for the next 24 hours in support of the economic blackout…

The panel of vaccine experts were supposed to hold their first meeting under the Trump administration in late February. It's not clear when that meeting will now take place.

According to the Houston Chronicle, public health officials in Texas think that there are likely 200-300 people now infected with measles. If confirmed, this outbreak is already out of control. H/t to @mickiemo.bsky.social for the heads up. www.chron.com/news/houston...
Hundreds of people feared infected with measles in Texas

Imagine you’re the richest man on earth. Do you spend $40 million on propaganda to convince people you did the right thing by choosing to let children starve, or do you choose to feed children? #StandWithUSAID #SaveForeignAid

When Elon was a kid, survival for ALL, the most common childhood cancer, was <10%
Now it’s >90% due to funded collaboratives (high indirect costs) whose work ultimately SAVES THOUSANDS OF LIVES EVERY YEAR.
For other cancers there’s still so much progress to be made.
I think it’s worth it.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

Will universities finally speak up now?
Or are they still "working behind the scenes"
Texted with many academic colleagues last night, the consensus is, if these cuts hold, many of us can no longer have a career in academia.
This will spur mass exodus.

Let me put this as clearly as I can. The Trump administration just instantly cut NIH funding for research on things like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, infectious disease, and all the rest, by 40-60%, depending on the university.
