After tragedies like those this weekend, particularly when the horror of gun violence hits so close to home:

Ebola Outbreak in Congo Tests Global Response After US Aid Cuts
Ebola is one of the deadliest diseases on Earth, with a fatality rate as high as 90%. It’s among a handful of illnesses so dangerous that governments consider them threats to national security. The Democratic Republic of Congo declared an outbreak on Sept. 4 after 28 suspected cases and 15 deaths were reported.

Dr. Peter Marks, recently pushed out of FDA, told us he believes the measles outbreak is being underreported. He says the case count is likely 3-7x higher, saying we could actually have as many as 3,000 cases. Yesterday, Sec'y Kennedy said we had 600+ cases and the outbreak was under control.

Here's @annikabarber.bsky.social's spreadsheet with the information she's been collecting from the NIH's website. "I think a lot of us are handling a lot of anxiety around these uncertain times," she says. "And one of the ways I like to manage my anxiety is spreadsheets."

Wondering if your study section cancelled? I update this sheet daily. As of today, 56/124 study sections that should have met since Jan 2, 2025 have "not met as scheduled." docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
