re: PubMed being DOGE'd / censored - don't see any evidence of this. You can't compare e.g EuroPMC searches with PubMed ones directly (saw @franknorman.bsky.social point this out on LinkedIn). By default EuroPMC searches lots of indexes: if you specify PubMed the numbers are much closer

This hits particularly close to home
To say nothing of intramural research. So many rare diseases under investigation bc NIH is the only option, pharma isn't interested. And the NIH hospital announced today their clinical labs will have long turnaround times and they won't even do certain tests anymore bc they lost the staff.
The thing about destroying NIH is NIH’s scale in medical research just dwarfs everyone else.
For ex, in 2023 the American Cancer Society gave out $64.5 million worth of grants. Sounds big, right?
But NIH’s budget was $49 billion. With a B.
Kill NIH and the floor drops out of US science.

I have no idea if it will help, but I do think shouting from the rooftops about the damage to science and research and cancer care and so on is a good idea. TV/podcast/etc people, I have now heard from quite a few people at NIH and NCI, and I’m around if you’re interested.
