An FDA worker confirms what I've seen out there.
CDC's entire FOIA office is gone.
The FDA's communications and web office were cut.

Got word that several NIH employees in a group working on cancer clinical trials got terminated via email this evening.
“The [cancer research] trials will literally not be able to function without us.”
Trump and Musk are killing cancer research. 🧪

Fellow academics, I know that it can feel like capitulation to think about focusing on your work in the face of so many attacks on us right now.
Remember that knowledge is the enemy of ignorance & ignorance is the tool of tyranny.
Doing our work is now a form of rebellion. Keep rebelling.

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.

Devastated is an understatement while I await news on my first ever NIH grant 😞
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
