When can we stop taking these programs seriously.

This is the crucial revelation of authoritarian movements in the 21st C: you don't have to hide what you're doing. If you create an information ecosystem dysfunctional enough, mistrustful enough, fragmented enough, you can act in the open, confident that the truth will never be clearly conveyed.

If your NIH grant has been terminated, please report them through our new website here: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h...

Honored that a piece I wrote made it to NYTimes. It’s about how my mom’s stroke changed my connection to time, science, and nature. What a privilege to honor my mom in Modern Love.
Below is a gift link. Let me know your thoughts 🙏🏼

For decades, patients warned Columbia about the behavior of obstetrician Robert Hadden.

One even called 911 and had him arrested.

Columbia let him keep working.
