Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Two Men Are Convicted in Plot to Kill Iranian Dissident Masih Alinejad in New York City
The convictions brought some measure of resolution to what U.S. officials have described as an unrelenting retaliation effort against Masih Alinejad.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Trump is already in the process of illegally abolishing the Department of Education and Department of Labor so the useless Democratic strategists advising us to keep our powder dry on USAID should just go away forever. Either you fight for the principle and all the agencies, or none of them

Even the day after, it was clear that Oct 7 was going to upend the Mid East’s tenuous state. What wasn’t clear was how. What we’re seeing in Syria is perhaps just the start of the ripple effects of Israel’s wars. Momentum has shifted—but we’re a long way from a definitive reset.
