NIH Staff Have Broken Their Silence
Civil servants usually keep a low profile. These NIH employees are putting themselves at risk by calling out the Trump administration.

We are looking for post-docs interested in studying T cell responses to M. tuberculosis infection…especially basic T cell immunologists who are interested in learning to work with BSL3 pathogens. The NIH intramural program is an amazing place to train!

Honestly it doesn’t really matter. We should be providing healthcare to those who need it most and implementing or translating the discoveries.
I don’t buy the notion that we’re fixing chronic disease because at every turn there are cuts that impact the environment and medical care

New at Can We Still Govern: An anonymous NIH employee maps out the GOP budget gameplan to permanently gut our most important science agency.
Impoundment, delay and red tape will create artificial "savings" that become the new benchmark for NIH budgets.

Science is an ecosystem, it’s all interconnected. It’s only a matter of time before labs and groups across the country are forced to pull back/close, PhD programs aren’t accepting apps, college grads can’t do internships. We will lose the next generation of physicians and scientists.
This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

The Trump administration is planning to cancel its lease at a government laboratory in Hawaii, a site where scientists support key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, according to a list obtained by Democratic members of Congress and shared with The Post.
Trump moves to close facility that helps track planet-warming pollution
The lab is connected to the Mauna Loa Observatory, where scientists gather data to produce the Keeling Curve, a chart on the daily status of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.
