‘One of the darkest days’: NIH purges agency leadership amid mass layoffs In shock move, four institute directors at the US biomedical agency are removed from their posts.

Absolute bloodbath today at #FDA #CDC #NIH
Directors of #NIAID #NICHD #NIMHD #NINR along with thousands of others were dismissed. These leaders alone had a $9B budget. Now what?! This is unreal. @altnih4science.bsky.social @altcdc.altgov.info I’m so sorry 💔😢
