A *huge* problem. It also includes search committee positions, review requests, letters of recommendation, P&T reviews (so, so many of these post tenure)—it goes on and on. And the social penalties for women saying no are so dramatically higher than when men say no.

Join us today as we fact check Jay Bhattacharya as he testifies before the Senate Appropriations Committee on the NIH budget. Watch here! www.appropriations.senate.gov/hearings/a-r...

Today POTUS released his final proposed budget for FY26, which slices 25.2% from #HHS, including approx.:

• 37.2% cut to #NCI
• 40.4% cut to #NIH
• 53.3% cut to #CDC

This will not only stall scientific breakthroughs but impact our ability to combat the rising incidence of #cancer nationwide. (1/2)

The Trump administration abruptly walked back its cancellation of more than 1,500 visas held by international students on Friday, announcing a dramatic shift by ICE during a court hearing in Washington. nyti.ms/4lIMsXT

This is just one example of how drastic staff cuts at HHS threaten the nation’s fight against cancer.

We urge the administration to reconsider the impact of these reductions to critical agencies on the health and wellbeing of people nationwide and our collective fight against cancer. (2/2)

I’m a biomedical researcher who lost his wife to cancer. Finding cures is personal to me. What’s happening at the NIH is devastating. Here’s my editorial in my hometown newspaper.

www.vindy.com/opinion/edit...

Last week, Congress passed a budget bill that includes cuts to #CancerResearch.

Cuts to research funding, reductions in key staff & spending freezes all jeopardize progress in the fight against cancer.

Sign our new petition to tell Congress cancer research funding isn't optional—it’s essential.

We are getting a LOT of requests from reporters for info about what is going on at NIH.

If you are an extramural NIH scientist willing to speak to reporters please DM us and we'll make a list.

(Hey @schumer.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social, this science and medical research stuff has resonance!)

@altnih4science.bsky.social or anyone have any insight as to if any NIH NOAs will be issued anytime soon?

Robert Kennedy Jr. has a longstanding public record of taking dangerous anti-science and anti-public health views. He actively spreads false and misleading public health information. Read our letter urging the Senate to block his confirmation. www.stopbreastcancer.org/national-bre...

Happy International Day of Women in Science. The National Science Foundation’s list of flagged words includes both “Women” and “Female.”

Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status.
