WATCH: Dr. Kevin Hall is departing NIH after 21 years at his “dream job.” He says his research findings were being censored under RFK Jr.
"What is it going to be like if they want to start actually meddling in the research itself?"
Anyone else oscillating between fury & existential crisis this morning?
…a 40% budget cut for what was our primary science funder…consolidating a bunch of institutes into an
Institute of Body Systems?!? Maybe they can get Ms. Frizzle to run that one…..
