Yayay Laura huge congrats!! Chicago is the best!!!

Congrats, Nathalie!!! Excited to read :)

Day by day, how Trump is roiling science and health STAT is tracking, day by day, what's happened in the words of science and health during the first months of the Trump administration.

I made a timeline of all the actions in Trump's (almost) first 100 days that have upended science and health. It was staggering to me to see it all in one place, even though I reported on many on these events. www.statnews.com/2025/04/24/t...

Huge congrats, Amanda!! Seems like a super interesting project!!

A quick guide: Not this, but this. 🧵

Love!!!

Trump's NIH Freeze Puts Scientific Research at Risk America’s best scientific minds are scrambling to determine the impact of the disruption.

Some thoughts on the confusion and anxiety created by the current freeze on communications, hiring, grant reviews, travel, etc at NIH (gift link):

A lot of folks have followed me after I posted about NIH funding. Glad you're interested in the topic!

You can help by contacting congress to voice your support for federally funded research and encourage them to increase, rather than cut NIH/NSF, funding in the 2025 fiscal year.
