Of course, Director Bhattacharya is likely opposed to health insurance subsidies because, you know, access to health insurance makes people fat.

Zara Weinberg passed away earlier this week. She joined my lab earlier this year when her postdoc lab formally closed.
She was a brilliant scientist, supportive mentor, dear friend, avid music fan, rabid believer in public transit, open science champion, and above all just an amazing human.

1. I have reached out to #NIH Director, Dr. Bhattacharya, four times to engage in an unofficial day of service. Twice via email (CC-ing his deputies) and twice on LinkedIn. I will give him until COB today. I want him to know what he is missing out on by not engaging with staff right now.

🧵1/7. More blows to science. Dr. Rachel Riley, a 33 year-old DOGE staffer and former McKinsey consultant, replaced a Rear Admiral as the head of the Office of Naval Research. The ONR, with a budget over $2B, oversees Navy and Marine Corps research programs in science and technology.
