Over the past year I’ve been pouring sweat into new basic #HIV research projects. Current chaos is a major challenge. Would any of y’all consider donating so I can spend more time on these efforts? Donors could receive acknowledgement etc.

Firing probationary employees is senseless. Probationaries are:
-New to their position
-Make lower salaries
-Recruited to bring in new talent
-Far LESS likely to be dogmatic
They're being fired because they have fewer protections. Not because this will improve government efficiency or cut costs.
