Reports suggest the fed plans to cut HUD’s homelessness program, slashing permanent supportive housing by more than half. The impact would be devastating, and orgs like Insight Housing, among many others, can’t absorb such large cuts. If you can, learn more & support here: insighthousing.org

Really excited to receive my copy of New Directions in Critical Public Health! The first version of this book changed the entire trajectory of my career. What will this publication mean for my next phase?!?! Thanks @lindsaymclaren.bsky.social, @judegreen.bsky.social, and Ronald Lebonte!

More evidence of mounting political interference in science at the NIH.

It's out! 5th edition of #qual #methods for health research now published, and in a library near you soon!

Grateful to those resisting political interference in science, not to mention the reckless cutting of research funding without cause.

Last week we officially withdrew a paper accepted for publication in a scientific journal because of editorial requests to remove language deemed out of compliance with executive orders.

Never thought I'd be so grateful for an academic journal, but standing up to political interference and censorship? That'll do it.

In "disheartening" conversations with fellow NIH-funded researchers, one said they "shelved a proposal on sexual and gender minority health because 'what was the point?' Another abandoned a manuscript out of fear of retaliation from a government funder."

Like so many others, I'm concerned about political interference in science and what that will mean for our work, especially health equity work. For now, it seems like new awards are frozen, but when (if) they start up again, are we really in the clear? criticalpublichealth.org/blog/2025/02...
