The recent cuts to the NIH and other agencies are CREATING waste, NOT eliminating it. The cut-off studies that were in progress will lose crucial tax-payer funded efforts, data, and contributions to their field. DOGE is not saving us money, and most definitely not helping scientific efficiencies. 😠

What an incredible feeling to be surrounded by a sea of 34,000 people standing against injustice! So proud of Denver's people - climbing mountains and moving them.

Measles will likely be a harsh lesson to the anti-vax population (though I have zero faith in them to learn from it)... The disease is BEYOND HIGHLY FUCKING CONTAGIOUS and has been given a foot in the door past our herd immunity.
Today's @usatoday.com front page
First US death from measles in 10 years
First child to die from measles in 22 years in the US
All of this fully preventable

BREAKING:
The NIH summer internship program (SIP) has been officially cancelled, across all institutes.

It’s a sad loss for the brightest science students in America, for American science, and for future cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. 🧪 1/
NIDA has announced it, but all the NIH summer internship programs are likely cancelled.

Sorry college students interested in STEM jobs, sorry high school students looking at science 🧪 careers. Trump and Musk are cancelling your futures.

How about agencies instead submit plans on how best to increase efficiency and success with MORE employees and MORE resources? Seriously, fuck 'em.
