In another legal win for U.S. universities, a panel of appellate judges has upheld a lower court ruling blocking the National Institutes of Health from sharply reducing the funding it gives institutions to cover the overhead costs of supporting their NIH grants. https://scim.ag/45C2KLt
Appeals court agrees that NIH cannot reduce overhead payments to academic institutions

We have an Executive Branch that spends their days trying to figure out how to circumvent the law and the Constitution.

If democracy survives, we’re going to spend years crafting laws to rein in this kind of behavior rather than serving the people.

Also: There must be consequences.

NIH Director boosts post from Andrew Kaczynski thanking people for helping him raise $200,000 for childhood cancer research.

Kaczynski’s daughter Francesca died from pediatric brain cancer in 2020.

In March, the National Cancer Institute will stop funding the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium.

One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

Great article: “Why Americans are Dying Younger? NIH Is Not the Problem. Our Broken Healthcare Delivery Is”

Bhattacharya keeps pointing to US morbidity & mortality as an NIH failure. But his argument quickly falls apart.

New speaker is talking about providing mental health resources and help for youth...

WE AGREE!

But then why did the NIH reduce the number of mental health research grants by FOURTY SIX PERCENT (46%) and dismantle SAMSAH?????

(blah blah "gold standard science" and "radical transparency")

We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer...

1. This is how the story "Sanctuary" from Detective Comics #551-552 started.

Back then was INS. The kid showed his passport after this, but his brother is not in the same situation.
