In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”. #AcademicSky

A1. In addition to what has been shared - stress and worry caregivers may have about having or getting enough food for the kids, even if they do end up getting food from school, family, pantries, etc., can negatively affect the family’s health #SaludTues
The link between #foodinsecurity and #childhealth is crucial, such an impt topic on ways healthcare providers, CBOs, govt. agencies & more can make a difference! #SaludTues
Hard parts of #COVID19 for me as a mother of young kids and hospital-based physician #EssentialWorker have been (1) fear of bringing #COVID19 home to my family & (2) struggle to balance home-learning for my kindergartner with family needs & my own work expectations @BrianLehrer
Hearing @uche_blackstock on @BrianLehrer right now is thrilling! Let’s continue to have thoughtful and empathetic conversations with patients, colleagues, & families who have #COVID19Vaccine concerns and answer questions with the available data #KnowledgeIsPower #MedTwitter
