Sociologist and Demographer at Penn State. So, as you would expect, I mostly study kidneys.
Awful but predictable news under NIH leadership that trumpets the importance of dissent while squashing it at every turn.
Trump’s HHS put me on “non-disciplinary” admin leave today. This was retaliation for speaking up. Moves like this are designed to silence us. Let’s not let.

I guess I am hitting a nerve, because they just put me on admin leave.

Jay Bhattacharya’s priorities do not consider the needs of patients, caregivers or frontline clinicians. They are not informed by researchers.

And they are problematic and unscientific in several places. 🧵 1/5

📢BREAKING: Just left the courthouse for our NIH grant termination case

Judge ruled terminations are “VOID & ILLEGAL”

As a plaintiff, I felt a wave of relief & hope; he acknowledged the discrimination & harm

Closed by asking, ‘Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?’

"We are speaking on behalf of hundreds of NIH staff who are standing up together to say: WE DISSENT.

I am so scared about doing this but I am trying to be brave for my kids because it's only gonna get harder to speak up."

Thank you to Dr. Jenna Norton and NIH scientists for your courage!
