NIH stops funding smart IRB. Why this matters? Institutional review boards approve research projects, ensuring ethical standards protecting participants. The smart IRB harmonized procedures and helped track things. Ever heard of Tuskekee or Nazi experiments - this was made to avoid that kinda crap.

Until we reckon with our fellow citizens’ capacity — even hunger — for injustice, we will fail to meet, understand and survive this political moment. What I mean... is the ability of some Americans... to burn this country to the ground before they share it with those deemed other and unworthy.
