Is it “radically leftist” to believe that marginalized groups should not be excluded from NIH research? …that throwing away public resources by terminating studies just before they complete?

If so, I wear the label proudly.

And it is absolutely my job to criticize such policies at work.

Thanks for all the supportive comments from folks in the chat - it means a lot.

I want to address the comment from the anonymous HHS official.

Is it “radically leftist” to believe NIH policies should not harm research participants?

It’s true, I was out on admin leave today at 2pm. I was given no reason. The notice says it is “non-disciplinary.” I was told it came down from HHS.

Omg this made me laugh out loud.

Thank you. I will be okay.

The best way to help is by getting loud and getting organized.
