Joia Mukherjee

@joiamukherjee.bsky.social asked John about the double stigma—TB and poverty—and how shame drives people underground.

His answer is haunting: a woman who wished for lung cancer over TB, because cancer carries less shame. That’s how deep the stigma goes.

Giving Birth Almost Killed Me. Pregnancy Shouldn’t Be So Dangerous. Every year, tens of thousands of women bleed to death after having a baby. Cuts to aid and attacks on reproductive rights will make postpartum complications even more deadly.

Great read on postpartum hemorrhage & how a treatable complication can turn into a leading cause of maternal death with many insights from @joiamukherjee.bsky.social

And now? The funding cuts will make it even worse. @thenation.com

I introduced a bill to ban owning of individual stocks across all 3 branches. After what we saw over last few days, Americans deserve certainty that gov officials, Congress, others aren’t trying to profit from their jobs.

Yesterday was a day filled of advocating for TB funding! #TBHillDay

@tbfighters.org @wearetb.bsky.social @stoptbusa.bsky.social

Amid the heartbreak in so many directions, it was a wondrous balm to spend today on Capitol Hill with over 200 TB Fighters from every state in the U.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who made it happen from @tbfighters.org to @partnersinhealth.bsky.social. Together, we are strong.

Trump 2.0: an assault on science anywhere is an assault on science everywhere US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand against these attacks.

Nature magazine calls on us all to speak up. "...but researchers at other organizations, such as universities, scientific societies, businesses, labour unions and campaign groups have more freedom, and must exercise it by showing support for affected colleagues."
