🧵👇

📣 TL:DR Incidence stable, prevalence rising, improved survival for ILD & IPF over 10 years.
Numbers much higher than prior reports for ILD & IPF.

March for Science Boston!!

How Foreign Aid Cuts Are Setting the Stage for Disease Outbreaks (Gift Article) Organizations funded by the United States helped keep dangerous pathogens in check around the world. Now many safeguards are gone, and Americans may pay the price.

“The slashing of foreign aid deprives the world of American leadership and expertise, but it also locks the US out of global discussions, Dr. Fukuda said: ‘For the life of me, I cannot see the justification or the reason for this very calculated, systematic approach to pull down public health.’”🧪🩺🦠

Thanh, your posts really help to restore my faith in the world. Thank you for all that you do and for sharing these beautiful moments with all of us. So thankful for this, always but especially now.

Pliny tonight - because despite what canine suprematists will tell you - cats really worry about you when you come back from late work

Exactly this.

Today my graduate student's F31 should be getting reviewed. She worked so fucking hard on this proposal. Yesterday in lab meeting I watched in real time as the realization that her grant wasn't getting reviewed hit her like a train. Hundreds of people feeling this way every week.

Hi everyone, I’m the graduate student here. I’ve never felt a worse feeling than this moment. There is no way to justify what’s been happening.

I wasn’t even notified that my study section wasn’t meeting. I still haven’t been notified. I’ve effectively been ghosted by the NIH - make it make sense.

Guideline Recommendations for the Treatment of Pulmonary Fibrosis An expert discusses the main treatment recommendations of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines for managing with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF).

Red-state universities push back against NIH funding cuts An administration official couldn’t explain why the 15 percent cap was chosen.

“This change isn’t a cost savings; it’s a cost transfer,” Jeffrey Gold, president of the University of Nebraska system, wrote in a letter to students, faculty predicting the policy would shrink research capabilities and force the state to fill the funding gap." www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Word discovery of the day is ‘yoke-devil’ (17th century): an accomplice in a villainous or immoral undertaking.

"This bridge funding program is intended to provide support for 9 to 12 months to help faculty transition their research program if a grant has been *precipitously discontinued*."

Crazy idea

What if we just decided to help everybody

And not be worried about “freeloaders”

Like we just agreed that our North Star would be that everyone thrived

Man that would be awesome
