I've gotten confirmation that NIH COO Eric Schnabel — who started in April — is no longer with the agency and that his deputy is taking over for now.
A source notes the "delicious irony that he was obsessed with security and vulnerability of the campus that he was then escorted off of"

Hearing rumors from multiple sources that NIH COO Eric Schnabel was terminated yesterday for allegedly trying to award a large contract to his wife (who sometimes uses her maiden name) for "public outreach" associated with the autism data science initiative.

UPenn just had $175 million in federal funding cancelled over allowing Lia Thomas to swim 3 years ago.
It's not going to stop until they leverage federal funding to push out trans people from academia entirely. This will extend to bathrooms, curriculum, etc.

Why I continue to suggest that everyone who wants to advocate for science should go to NIH RePORTER, look up how much your state and congressional district receive in NIH funding, and write to your corresponding congressperson about it. Losing NIH funding has massive ripple effects. reporter.nih.gov
