I'm so very sorry. This work sounds tremendous. I hope you can find someone to fund this critical project
But when we get paid less we are told to be more assertive. Demand more...all the while knowing we will be punished for the self-advocacy
Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
I'm jealous! We have been using obi off label for a while given even the nobility data! It's a great med. May potentially replace ritux for anca vasculitis
Am all for cost-effective care. I have worked w mostly Medicaid and Medicare patients my entire career and have squeezed blood from a stone...but don't put this on doctors! We don't know how much things cost. We don't know what the hospital charges. We have no SW or admin support. JFC

I had to compose myself before posting—because this breaks a part of my soul.
If you’re a contractor with a segregation policy, say it loud—so non-white dollars don’t fund your business. It won’t go how you think.
And if anyone uncovers businesses doing this, put them on blast.

They have now been sent to a brutal third world torture prison having done nothing but seeking asylum in the United States. That's it.
Insulting.

US born citizen snatched by ICE and held for 10h without a warrant or explanation. Once ICE realized he was a US citizen they let him go with no explanation. If he didn't have his ID he potentially would be in El Salvador @govpritzker.illinois.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov
Valid visa and now gone. BTW, she was here to SAVE LIVES.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.
Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."
ASN should say something especially, like rheum, so much of our workforce depends on IMGs. Sending solidarity from a rheumatologist w lots of LN patients
All lupus patients should push back on GSK stopping diversity efforts. Bad enough that they didn't include enough Black patients in the Benlysta clinical trial that they had to do another one. Diversity in trial participants and scientists produces better science

I don't think so
A Fulbright scholar flees the county after ICE came looking for her - per NYT her social media activity was liking pro-Palestine posts.

I know it's terrifying.
Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a nephrologist at Brown, was DEPORTED despite having a valid H1B visa. Tell me again how we are just "deporting criminals"?? There is a workforce shortage of physicians!!!

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.
This man has a green card. Has no warrants or legal issues. Was held at Logan, stripped naked and reportedly violently interrogated. Logan is where the h1b nephrologist is being held as well after coming back from seeing family. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN BOSTON?
