To be clear, this is a new product that Novavax is trying to introduce to the market with a study of a different product from 2021. New products require new clinical studies. Under this administration, we are prioritizing the Gold Standard of Science--not what saves pharma companies "tens of millions of dollars." Headline: "FDA Asks Vaccine Maker to Complete New Clinical Trial for Delayed Covid-19 shot"

Again, they're trying to take away our vaccines.

From the head of the FDA, a gross misrepresentation of the annual process of updating a proven vaccine to target new disease strains.

His plan would make it impossible to get seasonal flu and Covid shots, and of course he knows this.

Reliability of a difference score vs. reliability of an interaction term.

NIH is appealing the indirect cost injunction as anticipated...

I’d guess most taxpayers are unaware how much they’ve already invested in creating the scientific workforce, which is now being thrown away.

Maybe $500,000 per scientist?

Talk about waste.

My 12 y/o son was willfully ignorant of politics until he calculated the potential cost of a Switch 2 with tariffs. Now he is radicalized.

I feel a good cry coming on, who’s with me

We are hiring! Come work with us!

Big Pharma Needs to Get Off the Sidelines The industry can’t continue to sit idly by while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. guts the nation’s public health agencies.

Noticeably silent amid the upheaval at HHS? Big pharma. Every new drug has NIH somewhere in its DNA--and NIH funding supports the training of their workforce. Now they're finding out FDA isn't safe, either. Wrote about how keeping quiet isn't working My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.

This one absolutely breaks my heart. The NIH post baccalaureate IRTA program lets our youngest and most creative minds come together to understand the potential impact of a career dedicated to scientific discovery. It sets trainees on a future not only of science but of *service*.

One of the many, many “pauses” and cancellations devastating our next generation of researchers. “The NIH Intramural Program has paused the recruitment of IRTAs, CRTAs, and Visiting Fellows in all training programs pending guidance from Health and Human Services. Check back daily for updates.”

Letter from the SSE/SSB/ASN councils on the scientific understanding of sex and gender, pls RT

No human with knowledge of proper citations wrote this. They didn't even strip out the search-engine-generated #:~:text= fragment that tells Chrome what to highlight on the page-- "What is your indirect cost, think tanks, and government entities". If a student turned this in, it's C- territory.

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities.

It's deadly to the US economy.

The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.

Has this news even come out in the media yet? I can’t find it. Massive death blow to the US biomedical research enterprise @shalenegupta.bsky.social

Congress must support robust federal funding for the NIH NIH-funded research supports scientific discovery that benefits millions of Americans.

Looking to @aamctoday.bsky.social for leadership around the announcement of the 15% indirect rate

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

The best thing that scientists can do right this moment is organize with each other. Form networks, do coordinated communications: comms to the public, comms to media outlets, comms to Congress. That's the most urgent need.

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.”

University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

The entire website for the NIH Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) is very nearly stripped bare. This is so, so devastating. orwh.od.nih.gov/research/fun...

Mentoring is so hard right now. I can’t reassure my grad students that our research grants will be secure or that their student visas will keep them safe or that they’ll have all the same civil rights when they graduate as they did when they started.

Canada did this in 2017 with their Canada 150 Chairs. The U.S. lost some phenomenal scientists to that recruitment effort.

NSF website describing appropriate examples of broader impacts for a grant

That NSF is combing through grants for keywords like gender, equity, scientific literacy, etc, in order to cancel those grants, is frustrating when you consider that Broader Impacts ARE A REQUIREMENT OF GETTING THE GRANT. In case you're not familiar, here are examples 🧪

A screenshot of a tweet by 'Nicholas Fabiano, MD' with lots of engagement describing a statistic I calculated with my dad (that there are >60 million ways that symptoms can be combined for the diagnosis of major depressive disorder) posted together with a figure I made, unrelated to the statistic (symptom repetition in the DSM-5).

Not the biggest problem we're facing right now, but wow it's annoying that when this guy shares my work everyone tells him how brilliant he is and when I share it I get random dudes swinging by to tell me I can't do maths
