Nearly 100 NIH study sections were canceled in the past month. Here is a list of the canceled meetings, compiled by Annika Barber at Rutgers Univ. As a result, the process of biomedical science funding has been halted in the United States. tinyurl.com/5auw74s4

Kids are dying of measles. Egg prices are skyrocketing. Bird flu is out of control. Planes are falling out of the sky. Inflation is rising. Tariffs are coming. Consumer confidence is collapsing. A recession is now likely. The stock market is dropping. Donald Trump is golfing.

Mr. J.D. Vance, I am attaching a list of names of 43 Polish soldiers who died in Afganistan, following orders from the Polish government authorities, who were acting in support of the U.S.A. Have you thanked their parents and Poland for their sacrifice? wojsko-polskie.pl/weterani/AFG/

1) Restore NIH study sections. 2) Allow award notices to be sent for non-competing renewals. 3) Empower vaccine programs before we have a Measles epidemic. 4) Figure out probs before halting systems. The govt is not a self-running app like X that can tolerate these pauses.

I just got back from 36 hours in Ukraine with my brother Scott. Wanted to share a story from while we were there. At a hospital, we talked with a wounded Ukrainian soldier. I asked him what he thought about the change in US policy. His response in English was, “What the fuck.”

The US govt is treating sex differences research as a DEI issue. It’s not! It is vital to health of all. bsd.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

1. The DOGE website is garbage. The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided. And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract. So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything

The NIH didn’t just lay off staff - it lost directors leading work on Alzheimer’s, rare diseases, maternal health, and opioids. These aren’t abstract programs - they touch every American family. We’re not just losing talent. We’re losing time, and progress.

I just got off the phone with a business owner in Mississippi. He’s pumped millions into a business distributing a product he imports from China. His contract with the company prevents him from manufacturing it in the U.S. He also has contracts with a number of large retailers

Aerosolized budesonide and clarithromycin don’t treat measles (it’s a virus- it doesn’t respond to antibiotics). For the head of HHS to be messaging this in the middle of an outbreak that has killed two children is… despicable.
