Incredible. I never thought I would see a poster session as protest. 💪

Parable Series — Octavia E. Butler

I read Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower a few weeks ago. Shockingly apt for these times, really.

Trump’s NIH Axed Research Grants Even After a Judge Blocked the Cuts, Internal Records Show A lawsuit led by the Washington state attorney general offers an unprecedented view of the termination of more than 600 NIH grants, including transgender research grants threatened by Trump’s executiv...

NEW: Whistleblower records show that the NIH axed research grants – even after a federal judge blocked the cuts with an injunction.

It's not that I'm ignoring the news when I'm not commenting on it, it's that I need to focus on doing science to keep things going. And I bet I'm not alone in that.

This is devastating. #NIH

One of the things I think about often is a post I read probably twenty years ago from a math professor who was out walking on his beach with this dog, throwing a ball and watching the dog run out and catch it before it landed.

Digital health use growing in underserved counties | TechTarget Explore new study findings that show counties with high social vulnerability had higher digital health use than their lower vulnerability counterparts.

New study of over 5k adults across numerous US counties reveals increased adoption of telehealth and remote monitoring in areas with greater social vulnerability, notably within Black and Hispanic communities. Digital literacy and individual factors played a significant role in this trend. 🩺💻

More Americans Are Using Psilocybin—Especially Those with Mental Health Conditions, Study Shows Use of psilocybin has increased significantly since 2019, according to a new study.

Use of #psilocybin, the hallucinogenic chemical found in what is known as “magic mushrooms,” has increased significantly nationwide since 2019, according to a new study led by #CUAnschutz and Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Safety.

NIH to terminate or limit grants related to vaccine hesitancy and uptake The order covers more than 40 awards to researchers around the country seeking to understand why vaccine acceptance has declined.

So this is happening. Meanwhile, in case anyone was wondering, we're still in a growing measles outbreak (>200 cases so far). www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Focusing on the good, I'm delighted to share news from @benwbrewer.bsky.social, who's at #APOS2025 and finding their theme is aligned with our workshops for clinicians who want to use technology in cancer supportive care! We still have spaces left:

James Harrison, whose blood donations saved over 2 million babies, has died Harrison, whose plasma contained a rare antibody, rolled up his sleeve 1,173 times from 1954 to 2018. The Australian is credited with helping 2.4 million babies and advancing scientific research.

Slow to respond as I was working on a grant submission (what else is new?), but hi and welcome! I think you'll like it here.

not paying indirect costs for research is like only paying the players in the Super Bowl.

can't have a Super Bowl without coaches, referees, security, janitors, announcers, stadium staff, and a stadium - and you can't have research without supporting people and facilities

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.

This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

This is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.

We all need to speak out to save lives.

Reflections on the Successes of Pediatric Vaccines This Viewpoint discusses the importance of early and continued vaccine use in the US.

The removal of #HIV- and #LGBTQ-related resources from the websites of CDC and other health agencies is deeply concerning.

Access to this information is crucial for ID and HIV health care professionals.

This is horrific. We are living in a dystopian universe.

How Bad Could Trump’s Assault on Public Health Get? Public health officials and experts were braced for challenges. The scale of the new administration’s moves in the first few days, however, has shocked them.

This is day two of the confirmation hearing for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead all U.S. health agencies. I wrote about the damage already done to public health and research under this administration — and how there's much more to come if he's confirmed: newrepublic.com/article/1908...

To our many American friends. The National Academies have assembled a package of resources for researchers facing threats or attacks in the US
