When Letai was named NCI director, I didn't see any red flags in his background. I guess he was hiding them in his luggage before boarding the MAHA train.

Dr. David Satcher served as both CDC Director and U.S. Surgeon General, one of the few people to hold both roles.
He elevates mental health, racial health disparities, and prevention as national priorities, pushing public health beyond disease control to well-being and equity.

RFK Jr. and Mike Tyson want you to believe that MAHA is just about eating healthier.
But in reality, MAHA has been focused on firing the food and medical research experts who actually make America healthy.

Science is not conservative. Science questions nature to find out why things are how they are and to help us solve problems both natural and artificial.
Conservatives do not want their view of nature questioned. Hence they oppose science and public, secular education and label those as "liberal."

The recent appropriation that funded NIH still contains caveats and scientists should still be concerned.
"the poison pill of multiyear funding does remain buried within the bill. Multiyear funding acts to cut NIH funding without cutting the NIH budget."

As we start the think about F&27 appropriations, unpacking the FY26 budget may help set us up for next year.
We need scientists to engage in the process now - to fight for appropriation law that doesn't just fund NIH but fights to protect science and democracy.
