I so much believe in #longcovid that I think that all childhood infections may play a role in several (without known cause) neuropsychiatric illnesses.
in this piece we summarize what is already known and why my statement should not surprise you

Good morning. Please take a moment to have a look at this from my colleague…

I’ve been in academic medicine for 45 years. This is the first time I’m seeing a perfect storm, as proposed federal funding cuts threaten our ability to provide patient care, train the next generation of doctors, and conduct life-saving research. More from my conversation with @cnn.com last week.

Cutting the NIH—The $8 Trillion Health Care Catastrophe This JAMA Forum discusses the recent budget cuts to National Institutes of Health (NIH), the effects of these cuts on scientific research and health of individuals in the US, and the prospects for cha...

I’m not typically a fan of cost benefit analysis in valuing life years gained or lost. But here the numbers are too big to ignore. $8.2 trillion of life years lost over 25 years vs a US budget savings of $500 billion over the same period. These NIH cuts will cost us dearly.

"Put simply, we are facing the choice of smart decisions or reckless destruction that may affect our nation's health for generations to come. And, if I may use a sophisticated medical term, it seems to be that the right choice is a 'no-brainer'."

"Data revealed novel evidence that previously infected students exhibited distinct prefrontal haemodynamic patterns during cognitive engagement, reminiscent of those observed in adults four decades older, and this appeared to be especially true if they reported experiencing brain fog due to #COVID

Multiple recent studies, including 3 impressive natural experiments, consistently show a link between Shingles vaccines and reduced dementia. This week a nationwide S Korea study added a reduction of cardiovascular events

Thanks for the kind words! I would’ve loved to have connected! We also had 5 and the meetings went well considering. Glad to hear yours went well!

Darn it. I somehow missed this! So awesome you all organized this!

Grateful to have had the opportunity to be one of the 70. As Scott said so well, “I hope we’ll say this was the inflection point ... when we stood up for science, for truth and for each other.”

Fun speaking in this symposium today with a great line-up of presenters!

Thanks @ausrob-phd.bsky.social and @matt-babcock.bsky.social for organizing and moderating

My quote of the day

Faith and science can be united in charity if science is put at the service of the men and women of our time, and not distorted to their detriment or even destruction.

Pope Francis, June 2024

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

“I don’t know how we’ve come to demonize the idea that people deserve to breathe clean air, drink clean water and have access to environments that are non-polluting.”

I've been making a series of videos called "What the FUNDING" that highlight all the incredible science that federal funding supports. If DOGE just fcked up your NSF grant and you wanna collaborate on a video, lmk? I'm @science_irl on insta & TT
