I ran USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

The shut down of USAID and its activities that reach hundreds of millions is already harming humanity and America. foxnews.com/video/63682071…

This is shameful. And the utter indifference to loss of life, our people abroad, America's standing, and American security, caused by unchecked, reckless power, is evil.

“You cannot pause a plane in midflight and expect that everything is going to be O.K. That’s what they were trying to do with lifesaving health and humanitarian assistance around the world.” Such a great convo—about much more than foreign aid. newyorker.com/podcast/politi…

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis

🚨BREAKING: VA slashes 1000 jobs of disabled veterans, military spouses & medical researchers in massive cuts. $98M in claimed "savings" = longer wait times & reduced care for veterans. This isn't reform - it's a reckless abandonment of those who served.

Read the letter of resignation from SDNY AUSA Hagan Scotten, Bronze Star recipient, former clerk to Chief Justice Roberts. Bravo! 👏👏👏

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades. Envy of the world. Poof! statnews.com/2025/02/14/tru…

Epidemic intelligence service officers are the cream of the cream. They're top doctors, veterinarians, and other health professionals. They sign up for a two-year training program to serve the country. Not only is terminating them bad for the country, it's also a disgraceful

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health.

1/ After residency at Mass General Hospital, I reported to Atlanta to meet my fellow CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers. I have never felt so intimidated by my peers The best and the brightest, they were star clinicians, had served in disaster zones; MD/PhDs and MSF.

So here’s how motherhood changed me—mostly for the better: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Cutting NIH to save budget is like cutting the front lobe of brain to lose weight. It’s <1% of body weight yet it governs reasoning and problem solving functions of the brain, basically determining how smart you are. Dumb move to send IT kids to do your brain surgery, America.

We have an interesting new paper in JAMA Internal Medicine that shows that although in the rest of society (including high income jobs like law), women live longer than men, that is not true in medicine. Meaning the well known mortality benefit to being a woman doesnt hold in medicine

In fiscal year 2024, the report found, NIH awarded more than $36.9 billion to researchers, supporting more than 408,000 jobs and generating over $94.5 billion in new economic activity nationwide.

A woman gave birth in Lubbock, Texas and doctors didn’t realize until she had been admitted and went into labor, that she was infected with the measles, exposing other new mothers, newborns and their families. What more is there to say?

UMass Chan Medical School—a public school in the University of Massachusetts system—has rescinded all offers of admission to biomedical graduate students for the 2025–2026 school year
