You'd think saving babies and moms from dying would be a key initiative of a political party that claims to be pro-life and pro-family.

Spoiler: their agenda isn't about protecting moms and babies. It's about controlling women.
Arielle Kane was hired to work on a program at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid that was trying to reduce maternal deaths.

Last weekend, she was let go.

Let's hope Congress finds its spine.
Turns out the White House cannot adjust this major source of university funding without consulting with Congress. Add this to the string of examples where they are ignoring the law. bsky.app/profile/arch...
On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

The Trump admin claims this is to "comport with market rates."

There are no "market rates." All of this research is being done via NIH grants because "the market" won't fund it. But it needs to be done.

This is devastating to U.S. science, yet will reduce annual federal outlays by only ≈0.07%.
5. Other schools may have even higher overhead rates. Harvard's is around 69%.

This new order slashes that percentage to a maximum of 15%. This means cutting one of the most important sources of university funding nationwide by 75% or more.

Universities cannot function with this scale of cut.

Thank you @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social for publishing my Op-Ed today.

RFK Jr.’s “confirmation would undermine public health and betray hardworking health care professionals and researchers who work relentlessly to keep our patients safe and healthy”

I saw during COVID what RFK Jr.'s brand of skepticism could do | Op-Ed
During COVID, when health professionals needed support from the public with vaccinations, I saw firsthand how misinformation led to death and trauma.

Ok I hate to plug my book but I'm seeing tons of threads on prepping. I don't have the time to go through and rewrite the whole thing or point out all the well intentioned bad information so if you are getting into prepping please read my book

Scientists found community on Twitter and stayed because they feared the platform would be full of misinformation if they left.

But Bluesky is now the center of online #medsky and science conversation. @katiepalmer.bsky.social has more on scientists' hopes, dreams, and fears for social media:

Bluesky is the new destination for X/Twitter’s health and science community. Here's why
#MedTwitter is migrating en masse from X to Bluesky, suddenly making it an essential hub for scientific discourse. Here's why.

As a Christian, I remind you that
Jesus was a gun loving nationalist
who opposed
abortion,
liberals
immigration,
labor unions
and gay rights.

Oh wait, did I say Jesus?
Sorry, I meant Hitler.
Jesus did none of that.
That was all part of Hitler’s agenda.

Donald Trump wants to mass deport 20% of the US agriculture work force and starry-eyed racists think this won't raise food prices.
