There will be a mock funeral every week starting tomorrow (Sat May 3) for all that has been lost at the NIH. Anyone is welcome to come and say a few words about what the NIH has meant to them. If you can’t be there, email yours to NIHmemorials@proton.me.

Harvard’s Decision to Resist Trump Is ‘of Momentous Significance’

“This should be the turning point in the president’s rampage against American institutions.”

Harvard’s Decision to Resist Trump Is ‘of Momentous Significance’ (Gift Article)
But a fight with the nation’s oldest, richest and most elite university is a battle that President Trump and his powerful aide, Stephen Miller, want to have.

Well said
“If the goal were to identify and address problems at these agencies in a good-faith manner, that would be one thing. But what is going on is akin to performing open-heart surgery on a patient who is not particularly sick using a blunt axe.”

I see the needs for a strong union for federal employees. I heard there are unions representing them but are they working on supporting them in this crisis?
Hearing from a source:

"A friend at NCI lost 3 outstanding staff (their words) and tweeted about it. She was suspended for 2 days. No idea how her tweet was flagged."

This is for all the people asking us why it's hard to tell what's happening at NIH. Retaliation is real.

Have local hospitals in China become “paper factories”? The secret battle between academic fraud detectives and the tide of fraud - with quotes from @tigerbb8.bsky.social and me.

中国地方医院成“论文工厂”?学术打假侦探与造假大潮的暗战
《自然》杂志最近的一份分析显示,从2014年至2024年,全球近60%撤稿的学术文章作者来自中国,中国地方医院尤其成为“学术不端”的重灾区。中国有超过20000篇科研文章遭到撤稿,撤稿率约为0.3%,是全球平均水平的三倍。全球打假的“科学侦探”们组成的团队尽管火眼金睛,但被发现的造假行为仍然只是冰山一角。

As @dereklowe.bsky.social was asking, we need more pharma CEOs to speak up!

Merck, Pfizer, Lilly, Amgen - where are your voices?!

(BTW- really read to the bottom of this).

A professor and department chair at University of Shanghai for Sci & Tech used insulting language responding to questions on Pubpeer. Well, that’ll only invite more scrutiny of the hundreds of your papers. 上海理工大学余灯广教授在Pubpeer 回复质疑时用词粗野,显然不知道质疑者可能也是专家才不会被骂跑,那就莫怪你的数百篇论文会被进一步查验。

No words can fully describe my feelings about what has been happening at the NIH which is regarded the holy place for all of us biomedical researchers who have submitted proposals and so luckily have received fundings from. Deeply sad and disturbed. Those who ruin NIH/CDC/FDA are evils.
Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78)

I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine

I didn’t know if it might help to actually see what we are talking about with indirect costs so I did a little lab tour.

Seriously considering wearing a headband saying "I did NOT vote for the lunatic" next time I'm in Canada or Mexico. Hope they have some mercy on me while I'm there.
Meanwhile in Canada (near the US border)

Just so all of us chemists are on the same page, if @acs.org pulls this shit, we're all canceling our memberships and will never publish in an ACS journal or attend an ACS meeting ever again, right? RIGHT? And this has nothing to do with being a 25-year member and never receiving a mug.
I am appalled by the ASM's decision to remove DEI content from their website.

Here is my email to the American Society for Microbiology, @ASM.org asking them to put everything back as it was.

If you are an ASM member, please consider writing them.

Maybe it's much easier to talk about who is fit the job they were nominated for among all the new administration's nominees, like, zero?
