The self sabotage of American science in full display.

Thousands of grants supporting clinical trials of new treatments, basic science and clinical translation have been terminated over the last 12 months.

The Trump administration is punishing the American Academy of Pediatrics.

I have enough thoughts about this for an entire feature length documentary but here are two minutes of them.

Habe ähnliches erlebt. Bin/war primär in der Medizin/Science-bubble unterwegs. Da war auf X viel mehr los. Viele wichtige und interessante Beiträge und Diskussionen. Der Rest unerträglich. Leider haben auch viele Organisationen nicht gewechselt. Hier lese ich dann halt mehr Gesellschaft/Politik.

Wow. COVID-19 mRNA Impfung verstärkt Krebstherapie!
Neue Studie zeigt: COVID-mRNA Impfung vor Immuntherapie verbessert Überleben bei Lungen- und Hautkrebs deutlich (HR 0,51), durch Aktivierung von Immunantworten gegen den Tumor. Von wegen "Turbo-Krebs" #ImpfenSchuetzt

My case of the week: biopsy thought to be taken from a bone lesion (femur). Instead it was intramuscular and affected the bone directly. Known lung Mets. Everything was negative besides TFE3! Pics: HE,PAS, Vimentin, TFE3. Prime example of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS)!

In 1916 the BMJ published an article about the work done by James Shearer, an American physician working in the British Army as a sergeant (because he had no British qualification). He had described a
"delineator" which was better than x rays for portraying gunshot wounds. This caused a sensation and a lot of interest — but on investigation the work was found to have been invented. The BMJ published a retraction, but Shearer was tried by court martial and sentenced to death by firing squad.

Next time an institution tells you how seriously it takes research misconduct, ask them if it's *this* seriously. www.bmj.com/content/297/...
