What we are hearing from around the country:
"this is big!"

The public cares about medical research--and students, GenZ, and other people too are ready to stand up.

Please forward this thread on Bhattacharya’s terrible recent writing to as many people as you can.
Jay Bhattacharya has his Senate hearing today, and the NYT publishes a fawning opinion essay about him (just as happened during the Kavanaugh and Gorsuch hearings). People are trying to whitewash him.

Another thing that should scare all scientists from Bhattacharya's CV:
In 2020 he pivoted to popular press COVID denial work.
Here's his "commentary and op-ed" CV section.
It is frightening. Article after article in the far-right press attacking science.
