I have had that feeling before where in the middle of an action you feel how tangibly another world is possible, but this time I feel it across an entire city. So many here are seeing what life could be like if it were organized around different principles, if the rhythm were completely different

Alex Pretti’s dad: “He cared about people deeply & was very upset with what was happening...He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

This was Alex Pretti at work at the VA honoring a veteran who had passed.
This is who they're trying to falsely smear as a terrorist and assassin.

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

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
