Dear all scientists and everyone who cares about #NIH and medical cures:

This is very important! Please read the thread and blog post.

The Supreme Court looks very likely to blow up NIH grants and create chaos. Decision could come any time.

Noise is the second leading environmental cause of disease and death in Europe, second only to air pollution. It’s time for other regions, especially the U.S., to recognize that noise isn't merely a nuisance but a serious public health issue. The first step is accurately measuring noise.

Study Reveals Portland's Hidden Noise Health Crisis OSU scientists conducted the first comprehensive U.S. noise pollution study, finding Portland neighborhoods exceed health guidelines with disproportionate impacts on vulnerable communities.

@oregonstate.edu researcher @mbozi.bsky.social led America's first comprehensive citywide noise assessment, monitoring Portland's 145-square-mile area with 635,000 residents using 24h digital monitoring & machine learning. #AcademicSky #Epidemiology #PublicHealth

It is unbelievable that The Atlantic would publish this anti-science garbage.

The author is one of the COVID deniers who pushed “herd immunity” — that is, “kill lots of people so things can go back to “normal.” This is a rightwing political stance. Why would the Atlantic publish him?

How often do you think of #noise as a serious pollutant? 🔊

🆕This survey shows that residential green reduces road traffic noise annoyance.
Further, noise from construction sites is also disturbing for a substantial part of the population.

Since Lincoln was President, the National Academies has provided unbiased expert guidance to the government. I’ve had the privilege of serving on multiple committees, and the excellent staff takes their responsibility to help the country very seriously. What are we doing here?

Congress moves to loosen toxic air pollution rules The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

Three users on X who feuded with Elon Musk in December saw their reach on the social platform practically vanish overnight, The New York Times found, signaling that Musk or others at the company have the power to punish critics and that they may be willing to use it. nyti.ms/4lF3pm1

‼️Home exposures are tied to lung health in kids with asthma‼️

⭐For children with asthma, lung function worsened if homes had pests (cockroaches/rodents)

⭐Electronic health records with geospatial data showed indoor/residential risks in vulnerable youth

Thank you for your service, leadership, and dedication, Senator Booker!!! Please encourage your colleagues to do the same!!

I sincerely think that universities should suspend their productivity standards for scientists and ask them instead to hold town halls in schools, public libraries, museums, shopping malls, and anywhere else and communicate what is being lost with the collapse of the research ecosystem.

Johns Hopkins Plans Staff Layoffs After $800 Million Grant Cuts Local and international health research efforts are already winding down as the university braces for even more potential cuts.

"The Trump administration has terminated $800 million in grants to Johns Hopkins University, spurring the nation’s top spender on research and development to plan layoffs and cancel health projects, from breast-feeding support efforts in Baltimore to mosquito-net programs in Mozambique."

We are getting a LOT of messages asking "why say the Democratic Senators need to be pressured, aren't they doing everything they can?"

No, they are not. Not close.

Democrats in the Senate are going along with what Republican Senators want, because they want to be buddy-buddy with those R's. 1/2

Today would be yet another good day for university presidents to loudly, collectively, & publicly start defending our institutions & industry. The silence is deafening & frankly, incomprehensible. What exactly are you waiting for? How many Columbias, Maines, & Johns Hopkins will it take?

This is true. Please tell all your scientist colleagues to come here to bluesky, a platform that is not controlled by the people trying to destroy us.

One workaround for including "censored" words in scientific writing is to spell them backwards - no need to change sentence structure while tripping up the bots/goons. For example, we investigate health effects of "etamilc egnahc" in the context of "latnemnorivne ecitsuj," particularly in "nemow".

Daily choices about what you buy and where matters. It matters because it impacts our most privileged people...corporations. Together we can make a positive impact on our civic institutions by boycotting everyday products from bad actor corporations. Here's a list:

I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦, not with this administration.

🤬🤮💔

And here is a separate strategy for health academics: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

With the help of AI, I created a list of actions that you can take that can impact meaningful change...in 1% of your time or less!

docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Imagine the thundering voice we could have if we each gave a fraction of our time to action instead of sharing clickbait in echo chambers. Democracy isn’t someone else’s job to protect—it’s everyone’s responsibility. "1% for all. Give 1% of your time—reclaim what the 1% is taking."
