How many NIH supported "life-changing" studies have been or will be terminated?
This one on the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study, by @dhruvkhullar.bsky.social @newyorker.com

A Life-Changing Scientific Study Ended by the Trump Administration
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., declared chronic diseases an “existential threat.” Then his agency terminated one of the world’s longest-running diabetes trials.
