Erasing science doesn’t make ‘undesirable’ problems go away—it makes them worse.
The #NIH is terminating grants. LGBTQ+ health research is a clear target.
LGBTQ+ people face stigma & violence. This research saves lives. Let’s not stay silent.

This is a very good story on the uncertainty created by the disruption to NIH activity — and how the stakes are highest for the most junior scholars.

I'm hearing through colleagues that this is the source of the NIH study section cancellations. From the link - need for contracts/grants to agree to comply with the "anti-discrimination" laws and having terms to certify they do not operate programs promoting DEI.

This is worrisome.
NIH study sections canceled? Mine is scheduled to meet next month. Not sure if it's still happening.
Study sections are basically volunteer. We do it to give back to the process that supported us and to support science.
