THIS is outrageous and scary! RFK making his own journal that appears to be associated with a medical society.There is no such thing as the Academy of Public Health! They can use this to make false claims in medicine and science, including for vaccines. These are not peer reviewed nor scientific!

This interference in scientific research inside and out of NIH is unprecedented and destructive, for current & future scientists, and for our health.

My lab is hiring 2 postdocs on an NIH-funded grant characterizing molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across menopausal transition. Other neuroepigenomics projects are also available. We plan to hire a wet lab scientist and a bioinformatician. Please RT!

The U.S. is cutting research funding, the weather service, park rangers, Social Security Admin staff, lifesaving foreign aid, plus billions in Medicaid and food stamps. For what? To potentially buy crypto with taxpayer dollars and to give more tax cuts to the rich.

Seeking suggestions for anywhere thatβs hiring!!
NIH awards have quite literally flatlined since the change in administration. Council meetings, where the decisions on which grants to fund are made, are being canceled daily. No meetings, no decisions, no grants. The freeze is most definitely on, folks.
