Sharing an important and impactful study published today in @nejm.org : The #ZENITH trial of #sotatercept for high-risk patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension #pah.

Yes. The situation at NIH is worse than the public realizes.

The #NIH is on track to be effectively ended as a funder of evidence-based research within a year.

That is not an exaggeration. The firings and consolidation announced today will create a new, MUCH worse NIH.

Mike Myers Takes Dig at Donald Trump on ‘SNL’ With ‘Canada Is Not For Sale’ Shirt In his first "Saturday Night Live" appearance in 10 years, Mike Myers made a political statement with his shirt.

“Myers, who was born in Scarborough, Ontario, made sure to open his vest and show off the message on the t-shirt loud and clear…

He also voiced to the camera, ‘Elbows up,’ a phrase often meaning to protect yourself or get involved.”

Elbows up, Canada. #TeamCanada
