This was me. Terminated from #NIMHBSC with no explanation. Complete gov interference in the #NIH intramural research program oversight and review - telling NIH researchers what science they can do and who can do it. Not a positive outlook for scientific discovery, innovation, or health. 👇👇

Actually pneumonia is good

Honored to receive the @pennstateuniv.bsky.social Nutrition and Dietetics Outstanding Alumni Award. I got my own Nittany Lion! It was a great short trip and I got to see some of my favorite people, including @katkellerlab.bsky.social #WeAre Also, TSA was not a fan of my Nittany Lion Statue 😂

chatgpt has fully broken-through to every facet of the corporate environment. I'm spending a not-insignificant amount of my time every week now explaining to people that just because chatgpt told you that something was possible doesn't mean that it a) is or b) even exists

There are days in life that shake you.

I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University
& academic career... 1/🧵

Just got notice that my first senior author paper was accepted!! 🥳 celebrating the small wins these day. Paper coming to your desk soon!

Got it. Yeah I just had to ask chatGBT to critique mine to see if it gave me the same thing but nope. Think mine was more of a lab review.

How do you know? I recently got a review that had 6 pages of comments that were nit picky if anything and no new work really… I was wondering who had this kind of time but now I’m thinking AI??

Ingestive behavior/ obesity journal club is this Friday at 9AM PST. Discussing how supplemental may prevent issues in offspring after prenatal obesity exposure (animal model).

Email for zoom link and manuscript.

From an NIH source re. grant terminations

"These searches are pulling in things based on 'other support' sections and biosketches, so science may be held up just because someone mentions that they serve on a DEIA committee, or has a completely different grant that uses a 'problematic' word.

At the NIH and/or elsewhere? I feel it would be hard to do at universities

I’ll add you to our member list 😂

Thinking about naming the lab

“The FAFO Lab”

That’s, food, appetite, and functional outcomes …. 😂

Brief for the year lol yup

They have been coming in but super super super slow. My NOGA was a month late

Graduate Reductions Across Biomedical Sciences (2025)

I created a brief spreadsheet of reductions I've heard of so far. Any additions you know of (especially if you have the links/receipts) would be great: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.
