Dismantling science for the next generation :(
BREAKING:
The NIH summer internship program (SIP) has been officially cancelled, across all institutes.
It’s a sad loss for the brightest science students in America, for American science, and for future cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. 🧪 1/

NIDA has announced it, but all the NIH summer internship programs are likely cancelled.
Sorry college students interested in STEM jobs, sorry high school students looking at science 🧪 careers. Trump and Musk are cancelling your futures.

If you search “HIV data” on the CDC’s main page right now, the whole first two pages of results are nothing but broken links, a silent wasteland where there used to be data that helped keep Americans safe. 🧪
CDC Data Are Disappearing
The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.
