How to Save the NIH - Boston Review Public science too often serves private profits, making it vulnerable to attacks like Trump’s.

If @mcuban.bsky.social actually wants to help the Democrats beat the far right and rebuild US scientific and medical infrastructure, he should help them figure out how to build a platform organized around public drug development, manufacturing, and distribution.

“The most fundamental resource for progress in science is not the technologies or the buildings. It’s all the good people who do it,“ says former NIH director Francis Collins. “They are all of you who are here today to declare your support for this noble human enterprise.”

“So maybe we could sing about all those good people,” says Collins while he grabs a guitar.

‘Scientists will not be silenced’: thousands protest Trump research cuts Researchers at Stand Up for Science rallies voice defiance against the policies of US President Donald Trump’s administration.

J.P. Flores, a core organizer for today's rallies and a bioinformatics researcher at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, told Nature: “March 7 is the beginning — I don’t necessarily see it as the endpoint.” #StandUpForScience www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Incredibly proud of our NYC scientific community for standing up for SCIENCE! @standupforscience.bsky.social

‘Scientists will not be silenced’: thousands protest Trump research cuts Researchers at Stand Up for Science rallies voice defiance against the policies of US President Donald Trump’s administration.

The mood was defiant at many of the rallies, where chants of “Scientists will not be silenced”, “Facts over fear” and “What do we want? Peer review! When do we want it? Now!” were heard.

If you want a great nation, you don't eliminate research - medical, agricultural, across the board. Research looks into the future and gives us hope. We need to stand together! ~US Senator Dick Durbin @durbin.senate.gov @standupforscience.bsky.social #StandUpForScience2025

The @standupforscience.bsky.social DC rally is on.

What we are hearing from around the country:
"this is big!"
"biggest rally I have seen around here in years and years"

The public cares about medical research--and students, GenZ, and other people too are ready to stand up.

US judge bars Trump administration from cutting NIH research funding A U.S. judge Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump's administration from carrying out steep cuts to federal grant funding for research that universities and Democratic-led states warn would lead to layoffs, lab closures and a curtailment of scientific and medical studies.

🚨 BREAKING: A U.S. judge has blocked attempts to cut NIH research funding—a huge victory for scientific advancement! 🧬 This decision protects groundbreaking studies tackling diseases, climate change, and public health crises. 🎉

NEW: A federal judge has barred Trump from illegally cutting NIH funds to research institutions.

We fought Trump’s attempt to attack medical and health innovation and we won.

The important work of fighting cancer, curing diseases, and saving lives will continue.

Please forward this thread on Bhattacharya’s terrible recent writing to as many people as you can.

Jay Bhattacharya has his Senate hearing today, and the NYT publishes a fawning opinion essay about him (just as happened during the Kavanaugh and Gorsuch hearings). People are trying to whitewash him.

Francis Collins, the NIH Director for 12 years, led the Human Genome Project and other NIH efforts for 32 years, resigned today. Key words from his resignation letter

Trump & Elon are putting lifesaving research on life support with a massive funding cut based on an uninformed and illegal whim.

Every Senate Democrat is joining me in demanding HHS stop the political games and allow researchers to keep up their important work, uninterrupted.

RFK Jr confirmed.

Polio, Putin and Xi are cheering.

Apparently no more funding opportunities from DOD
