What an absolute embarrassment for our country. To try to publicly shame a top leader of a sovereign country that was unjustly INVADED by Russia.
This is not normal and not “making American great” and I vehemently oppose any thoughts to the contrary. #StandWithUkraine

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:
1. Create a new $15B science fund
2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada
3. Immediate permanent residency
4. Citizenship after 2 years
Overnight a science superpower

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Please consider a donation to an IM resident at my old institution who has battled lupus for years and now needs a kidney transplant. Such an impressive story and human being.
It’s a shame to have to crowdfund for healthcare these days, but this is America.

If a new pandemic comes to the US we’ll have an NIH dir who advocated for letting COVID burn through the US, an HHS Sec who believes in raw milk but not vaccines, an FDA commissioner who said COVID would be over by 4/2021, & a CDC dir who supported the debunked theory that vaccines cause autism.

The sad thing is that RFK Jr has somehow made people interested in the quality of drinking water but instead of channeling that concern towards PFAS & micro plastics he's got everyone worried about fluoride. Like FFS how did you get everyone to care about water but for the completely wrong reasons?

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Every day since November 6 I wake up and I ask myself….
Am I now residing in some sort of unhinged alternate dimension?
And every day the evidence tells me that yes, I am now residing in some sort of mad universe

Excellent open-access #MMsm work in @AjHematology by Zabaleta @BrunoPaiva_UNAV et al!
An important footnote for all the CAR-T vs bsAb efficacy debates: when stratified by MRD status, CAR-T and bsAbs do identically.
Getting to MRD neg is what matters!
