At least a dozen senior, innovative scientists that run labs at NIH have been pushed out today. They have developed new methods and techniques; some study Alzheimer’s.
Where’s that focus on innovation that Bhattacharya insists he’s focused on?

Jay Bhattacharya just sent a letter to all NIH staff, amidst the Musk/Trump chaos, and we have it for you!
We unpack Bhattacharya's 'anti-vax grifterese' (h/t @angierasmussen.bsky.social ) and point out what he is really saying.
You'll want to click and zoom in on this one.

I sincerely think that universities should suspend their productivity standards for scientists and ask them instead to hold town halls in schools, public libraries, museums, shopping malls, and anywhere else and communicate what is being lost with the collapse of the research ecosystem.
“The ecosystem of research and the creation of new knowledge in universities has been so powerful for American prosperity, American freedom, American ingenuity. To have that disrupted by government overreach is a disaster for this country.” —Wesleyan University President Michael Roth on

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Yes. Journalists should note this:
Every science or tech student, age 5-35 today, is looking at the destruction of their career prospects due to Trump and Musk.
We should be interviewing those students and talking about the impact to their lives.

Every one of my friends is asking “do I even have a career going forward”
“Our next generation of researchers are now poised on the edge of this cliff, not knowing if there’s going to be a bridge that’s going to get them to the other side, or if this is it”
Musk and Trump are blowing up science careers for every STEM student.

I imagine they'll be translating President Trump's speech into Russian which shouldn't be hard because that was the language it was drafted in.
A Moscow spokesperson states the obvious: the Trump-Vance agenda "largely aligns" with the Kremlin.
