Alt NIH Bluesky 🧪

Ha good thread on the NIH grant termination cases and how this appeals court is basically telling SCOTUS “if you back Trump here you’re totally lawless”

He doesn’t want to “reduce chronic illnesses,” he wants to reduce people with chronic illnesses

Michelson–Morley experiment - Wikipedia

Just think: the Michelson-Morley experiment was 138 years ago. 🧪

Yes. Even if fully true and consensus had formed around them, not just that they were being used as political cover.

We’ve got a Trump puppet over at #NIH too.

Trumpette Bhattacharya. The guy just echoes talking points he and the Trumpers developed during their COVID denial days. We almost feel bad for him — some of his (many) podcasts seem like hostage situations.

Key point here: Trump is in charge of Senate Republicans. Thune (like Mike
Johnson in the House) is a Trump puppet aka a Trumpette.

Exactly. Give @schumer.senate.gov and his caucus credit for this.
It’s a good start.

This is figure five, which shows behaviour in the month leading up to calving.

Timing of fracture is a major uncertainty in ice sheet models. A paper in Nature Communications shows ocean tides can create peaks in stress, enabling crack growth. Calving of an iceberg from the Brunt Ice Shelf in 2023 coincided with a peak spring tide. go.nature.com/4mhUpm5 🌊 🧪

We need more from Schumer, but this is a good start

This is actually a step in the right direction from Chuck. Nice.

yes. What the Court did on the VRA is also relevant to what the Court will do on NIH and science now!

This is part of John Roberts' years-long mission to overturn the Voting Rights Act one step at a time.

He's doing it this way to avoid the outrage that would result from the Court overturning the VRA all at once. (See: Dobbs)

Oh come on, Paul. Prasad was elevated because he attacked science and helped tear down scientific institutions. If you don’t do that analysis you can’t tell his story.

More Lysenkoism 2.0. It’s not just medical science where ideology is trying to dictate science.

Super spies from the deep state with a mission of bringing down autocracy and dictatorship

And this is what we have been seeing since Jan 20th: Vought and his Project 2025 team have been interfering with grants by meddling INSIDE the agency, inside NIH and/or HHS.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

Rick Scott's connection to massive Medicare fraud scandal resurfaces Scott, a Republican senator from Florida, challenged President Joe Biden to a debate about Medicare and Social Security on Thursday.

He’s a criminal.

Science and cancer numbers not looking good either

First, what is Laura Loomer's actual job?

Second, why do so many Trump officials seem to be podcasters, cable news yellers, and otherwise propagandists? Are any of them qualified beyond their ability to lie convincingly on video/podcasts?

💯
So many amazing and dedicated people lost their jobs today, to the detriment of us all. America is weaker today than it was before.

Also please follow @alt-nihscience4all.altgov.info !

From everything we have seen, they are conveying important and accurate info from #NIH as well.

Happy weekend, and please keep fighting for a more equal and fair society, and strong public sector. 💪

We’ll continue to keep sharing what we see and hope to keep informing the public. We stand by the below.

And this is what we have been seeing since Jan 20th: Vought and his Project 2025 team have been interfering with grants by meddling INSIDE the agency, inside NIH and/or HHS.

Sometimes our team here has made mistakes, and when that happens we have aimed to delete posts quickly, but generally our record stands up.

For example, we have been talking since Feb about all the interference inside NIH by Vought and Trump. 2/

Thread on why this alt nih account was not verified with the altgov group.

We hope that the things we’ve said that turned out to be true provide evidence thay we are conveying info from NIH.
Thanks to everyone who supports #NIH in this time.

Highly recommended👇

Fun opening ceremony. Mace lab is ready for the ride tomorrow! This will be my 10th Pelotonia ride!!! Still time to donate if you want! www.pelotonia.org/profile/TM0139 All the money raised goes directly to cancer research at the James!

Important thread for everyone who cares about NIH, from an NIH expert!

Summary:
- Vought is executing stealth budget cuts now.
- Congress isn't stopping them.
- Dems must shut it down in Sept, to get real statutory language barring all the Project 2025/DOGE cuts now and next year.
