meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology
Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.
Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards
Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

At NIH, > 1300 people were RIFed. These range all across the board from institute directors to low level administrative staff.
Communication staff and procurement appear to be hardest hit as anticipated from the HHS plan
