An urgent argument for the HPV vaccine Data shows it can prevent six types of cancer. But anti-vaccine activists, including U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have helped dampen its usage.

Smog rolling on over Manhattan in the 1970s

This is what many cities in the U.S. looked like before the EPA.

Why the heck would anyone celebrate deregulating it?

Elon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say so. That’s why I resigned | Kit Yates It is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨

I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk.

Trump cuts threaten a ‘generation of scientists’ as many weigh leaving US President’s call to ‘Make America Healthy Again’ has led to slashes in NIH funding – endangering jobs and vital research

“For the last 75 yrs, the NIH has been the biggest funder of biomedical research in the world. Most advances in medicine were seeded by NIH funding. When we became scientists, we just bought into this system. This is how it works. — @tuthill.bsky.social 🧵

Important WHO guideline on K-enriched, lower sodium salt overshadowed by the deluge of news (I.e. US pulling out of the WHO). Attaching some slides recently made for medicine resident lecture. Follow @pawellingmd.bsky.social to learn about the “potassium switch” www.wellinglab.com/potassiumhyp...

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures.

To my friends and colleagues at UAB, IU, UF, FSU, UL, WashU, OSU, CWRU, etc, etc. Call both your senators and your representative. They listen. Emphasize the direct economic impact of NIH research, and the indirect impacts on pharmaceutical/biotech. Underscore its relevance to national security.

Call your representatives and have this South Carolina information ready, living in Red States it counts even more if we call www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

👆 this… do this!

Republican law makers want those NIH dollars just as much as Democrats! Speak to them in terms they understand. Lost $$ is lost $$. Disease and mental health don’t usually discriminate based on how you vote.

Thank you! Great information, will be calling ours.
