Communications will apparently be consolidated within HHS, but now institutes appear to have better one and zero staff in their communications offices.
Procurement staff are mostly gone so that intramural research is likely to be hobbled if not completely disabled.

Exciting results about a new #malaria #vaccine - genetically attenuated parasite that arrests late in the liver stage. Room for improvement (3 doses is not ideal), still! www.nature.com/articles/d41...
This malaria vaccine is delivered by a mosquito bite
Bites from insects infected with modified malaria parasites boosted immunity and stopped people from contracting the disease.
