The Atlanta Fed just updated their GDP tracker and it showed an even worse drop in GDP for the 1st quarter of -2.8%, down from +3% at the start of the Trump administration. The closest precedent to this was the economic crisis at the start of COVID.

These are some of the NIH "study sections" that were planned for 2025 but did not meet (study sections are panels of experts who review research grant applications to ensure only the best science gets funded)

Today we buried the third sister of four we lost to Alzheimer’s. My Mom was the first.
Heartbreaking to sit with my cousins and realize that the actions taken in the last month have removed any hope for a cure from our reach. #EndAlz
