If the NIH gets messed up, there is no alternative. Not just in the US, but globally. It is by far the biggest engine of health research in the world. Which is why the idea that US scientists can just do their work elsewhere is a little fanciful.

Great post. Mediation and casual analysis is way harder and more detailed than people want it to be. I get lost thinking about the alternative. Is it better to have acknowledged potential bias in a mediation model or to ignore mediators and only look at direct effects? Is there another alternative?

An entirely reasonable and rational response by non-US scientists (and others) will be to stop coming to the US. These sorts of actions will turn the US into a pariah state, where embassies routinely offer warnings about traveler safety.

congrats to each of those democrats for voting to nullify article i of the constitution

I haven't followed any of the science ones because I already have enough work stuff on the timeline.
