Implementation of Schedule F
This is what a lot of us have been worried about.
This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs.

Call to arms by @lisamjarvis.bsky.social for biopharma to mobilize in support of the engines that power them - federally supported biomedical research and drug evaluation
Noticeably silent amid the upheaval at HHS? Big pharma. Every new drug has NIH somewhere in its DNA--and NIH funding supports the training of their workforce. Now they're finding out FDA isn't safe, either. Wrote about how keeping quiet isn't working My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):
Big Pharma Needs to Get Off the Sidelines
The industry can’t continue to sit idly by while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. guts the nation’s public health agencies.
