I've already had two federal grants terminated and face a 33% pay cut due to future terminations. It's painful, but not as painful as the conversations I'm having every day with brilliant trainees in graduate school and postdoctoral positions who see little future for themselves in US science.

RFK Jr. ha incaricato David Geier di studiare i legami tra vaccinazione e autismo: sarà lui, amato dai novax per aver pubblicato più studi imperfetti sul tema evidenziando la presenza di INESISTENTI legami tra vaccini e autismo, a condurre uno studio governativo su questo.
