VUMC patients received surprise messages Friday saying the health care system will no longer offer gender-affirming surgeries.

5 full days…120 hours with no power, hot water, stove, internet, heat. It was hell but just came back on last night. Everyone has been amazing…the kids, our friends, people at work, and especially the NES linemen and all the hard working crews and responders. Way to go Nashville, we love you.

Foggy early morning run here in Nashville! #photography #Nashville #running

Early morning run. #sunrise #nashville #photography

Had a blast presenting a poster on my genome enabled learning health care (gLHS) network at #AGBTPH25. So great to see so many amazing colleagues and hear about cutting edge precision medicine!

We only have a few weekends in Nashville that are really nice weather. So glad to get to go hiking yesterday and enjoy it. #hiking #Tennessee #river #OldStoneFort #photography

Early morning on the Cumberland river before the temperatures in Nashville skyrocket today. Love the layering in the rock. #photography #reflections #river #nashville

My favorite activity but with a better view.

Where else can you see prickly pear overlooking #torreypines and sea cliffs? One of my favorite places #SanDiego #photography

The Bethesda Declaration people spoke out, despite the prohibition.

Lots of great mushrooms on our hike this morning. One of the benefits of the 100% humidity. #photography #fungi #hiking

Love seeing the #reflections on the stream this morning on my 10k run. #photography

Worth a listen for sure.

This is devastating #NIH

6 miles this morning…the stress of the world can’t catch me when I run! #running #photography

Oh no! I can’t imagine the NIH without Francis Collins. What a mess we are in.

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science.

Entire NIH departments will have no leaders.

World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators.

Is this what they want?
Chaos? Destruction?

Medical research labs brace for possible funding cuts that could disrupt their work Researchers say the Trump administration's plan to slash payments for indirect costs will hamper new medical science. One example? A lab studying respiratory viruses faces losing half its staff.

This! We are waiting on so many grants right now with no movement in sight.

“Long live the king” wasn’t there a whole song about this in Lion King that Scar sung? Kind of hoping for the same ending.

It’s so hard to fire people at my job, but not for #DOGE “Unfortunately, the Agency finds you are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the Agency's current needs, and your performance has not been adequate to justify further employment at the Agency”

This is so incredibly horrible.

Finally!

Federal judge blocks Trump administration cuts to medical research funding The National Institutes of Health says the cuts will save more than $4 billion a year, but critics say it puts potentially lifesaving research in jeopardy.

Thankful for the fast work by the states and judge to block the unlawful cuts to indirects by #NIH. This fight is long from over. #science
