I understand. I love her!
The impact is already hitting science agencies hard. The NIH—the world's largest public biomedical research funder—has had to rely on leftover stopgap funds.
New grant awards have slowed to a trickle — exacerbating the effects of a record-long shutdown in October.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.
The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇
Well I am hoping suppliers for moms (and thousands of others) sake.
I read through this a bit. It seems like they mean suppliers (no new suppliers). But people still get their supplies. At least I hope. Good luck to your mom!!
So very proud of our faculty, our staff and our trainees who work so hard, who carry out innovative and impactful science, and who truly change and improve population health.
🚨 BREAKING: In a decisive victory for voters, the Utah Supreme Court upheld a fairer congressional map for the 2026 elections — dismissing the GOP Legislature’s appeal and securing a district where Democratic voters can meaningfully compete.

As a VA scientist, an American, a human, and the wife of anon-white immigrant, this devastates me. My heart was been distraught all year. This has to stop. We are better than this. May this end soon.
Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA.
He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.
Proud to proud to be part of the scimap team!
MEPS seems to be gone as of now. This is very bad. These are critical pieces of data about health care and they belong to the American public.
Together with our colleagues at @huntsmancancer.bsky.social, we packed 400+ food boxes at the Utah Food Bank during a time when food security is a huge challenge in our community. 💝 Love that this event brought faculty, staff & students to work & have fun together!

That’s amazing. Well deserved and congratulations!!
When people get info re breast cancer screening that conflicts with past messages, they may lose trust in the healthcare system - underscores importance of consistent messages.

Wow this panel looks awesome

I’m interested in talking to a federal agency scientist who was fired, then rehired. I can keep you anonymous. I’m on Signal ginnyg.04

“Trump announced that he’ll unilaterally take back money already appropriated for foreign aid. This new so-called pocket rescission totals $4.9 billion.”
So. This is the big one.
If Vought floats this for foreign aid and it flies, science agencies are next.
VA "leaders will not conduct their annual employee surveys this year, stating that they are confident that the majority of the workforce is happy with the direction of the department." Great but your confidence doesn't satisfy VA's legal obligations.
