I'm so excited to be co-chairing the Scientific Program Committee of #ICED2025 with Dr. Luz Scapaturra in just a few short days! The conference line-up is incredibly exciting, and includes some great work from our @redslabauburn.bsky.social. Please come say "hi" if you'll be in San Antonio!

Please make a comment on this NOW (they are due tomorrow). We can't let NIH and NSF POs and division directors become political appointees--this will completely destroy science.
🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees

Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday

📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful

Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

Big update to scienceimpacts.org: See the devastating impact of cancelled NIH grants across the country, and how losses at specific institutions ripple out to surrounding communities.

This is all in addition to the future losses that would result from cutting funds for indirect costs of research.

Thanks to @theresagaff.bsky.social for highlighting the devastating impact that terminated #eatingdisorder grants will have on Americans - including our work on LGBTQ-affirmative therapy for EDs @ajblashill.bsky.social
Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental health conditions & they often become chronic.

Yet Trump’s HHS is cutting eating disorder research & the MAHA report doesn’t mention them.

This isn’t just suppressing science - it’s a decision that will cost lives.

Eating disorder research defunded despite MAHA focus on chronic conditions
Experts on eating disorders like anorexia worry that research funding cuts mean patients won't get the care they need.

eating disorder research was already so severely underfunded - 7 terminated grants is devastating to our field!

Eating disorders are chronic diseases. But instead of focusing on these- MAHA is terminating funding.

1 in 5 kids have an ED.

Eating disorder research has always been underfunded — about $55 million in NIH grants went to eating disorder research in 2023
