The NIH has lost its scientific integrity. So we left “We can no longer lend our credibility to an organization that has lost its integrity,” write four scientists and administrators who recently resigned from the NIH.

Powerful piece in STAT this morning from some NIH staff members who have resigned

+1, I know because I had cousins that lived in Miami and we used to tease each other incessantly. In the modern era, it’s probably the chiefs though!

Why Trump would be perfect for an honorary U-M doctoral degree Awarding Trump an honorary doctoral degree would be an opportunity to recognize the long way the University has walked in less than two years. U-M juniors may still remember times when the campus code...

@umich.edu faculty call for an honorary degree for Trump

Just a reminder that we are still accepting applications for this faculty position.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.

Welcome to America in 2025, where the last bastions of journalistic integrity are a tech magazine, a music magazine, and a teen fashion magazine.

We are hiring a NTT Assistant Professor of Physiology and Neurobiology! Please share with anyone who might be interested in a teaching focused position (primarily anatomy and physiology), and I’m happy to answer questions about the position!

there is a chasm between the language democrats use in fundraising spam and what they actually say when speaking to the press.

Definitely Buffalo!

His custom cancer therapy is in an NIH freezer. He may not get it in time. The purge of probationary federal workers included skilled lab personnel who would have finalized a customized cell immunotherapy for cancer patients.

We need more stories like this showing the immediate human costs of Trump's deliberate destruction of the NIH wapo.st/44ntbo4

Sarah no!

Trump officials take steps toward a radically different NSF Efforts to shrink staff, budget, and focus have alarmed members of Congress

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3

Science friends, FASEB is now on Bluesky!

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

Capitalism AND natalism AND eugenics but I repeat myself.

The hills of Tanchico is a bop! This season has been fantastic.

I’ve been told some academic centers are telling their faculty not to speak up. In case anyone was wondering, injustice has never been overcome through silence. You can choose to speak up, or you can be complicit in the oppression.

Everyone has a choice. May we all choose wisely.
