BOYCOTT

Meme of a sign that says: Welcome to IOWA - We’re all going to die

Republicans have a new slogan for Iowa. 😬🥴😵‍💫 #JoniErnstSucks

What an absolute no holds barred badass campaign announcement!!! I've donated and will be cheering you on from Tennessee! Hey #MedSky, let's all donate to help get a pediatrician in the Senate! 🩺🥼👩‍⚕️

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far.

In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn them. This was such a promising direction and now the neanderthals in charge of everything in this country and trying to kill us all.

U.S. spends 10x more for #stillbirth malpractice payouts than is spent globally for stillbirth prevention research. @umichsph.bsky.social @michigansocialwork.bsky.social

No spending on the 28th of this month. Spread the word

Insane to cut #telehealth for Medicare. We should make it easier to get care—not harder. Impacts seniors, anyone with impaired mobility or people who are immunosuppressed. @aafp.bsky.social @aamctoday.bsky.social

Beautifully said!

Things pediatricians are scared of:
Grapes
Hot dogs
Lawn mowers
Unmounted TVs
Babies on laps in cars
Riders without helmets
Ungated pools
Crib bumpers
Trampolines
Hot tubs
Guns

Things pediatricians are not scared of:
Any/all the vaccines

Look closely.

Your actions matter!!

Not too late to get flu shot for you and your kids. We are seeing nonstop flu at the hospital.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Not true. U Mich takes lower when that’s the only option.

Trump officials exerting unprecedented control over CDC scientific journal "The MMWR has lost its autonomy," one health official told CBS News.

This level of censorship extraordinarily disturbing.

It is a prime example of how science has never been—and never will be—a value-neutral enterprise. Human values impact what research gets funded, performed, and published. We need people with actual integrity in charge.

OMG

Tesla sales: Down 41% in Germany for 2024; a 59% drop in January 2025. France: down 63%. Sweden: down 44%. Norway: down 38%. Netherlands: down 42%

my god, they are trying to force retraction of authorship of already published past studies? Beyond ruining careers and general evil, it absolutely corrupts the scientific literature to not have correct authorship listed

Front page of paper, 'In-Basket Message Volume in Primary Care: A Cross-sectional Analysis by Gender and Specialty' in Journal of General Internal Medicine.

New research from @kgoldmd.bsky.social et al finds that Family Med docs receive about 17 messages per patient-facing clinic hour, the highest of any primary care doc. Payment for patient care over the portal is needed so that primary care docs are still available for routine care. michmed.org/Kkbbe

Revoking price-caps on drugs that save lives is some evil shit.

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻
