Fantastic child neurology research on display at #AANAM. Hope to see you today at the poster tour!

Prior authorizations and their negative impacts on patient care are discussed at the @aanmember.bsky.social #AANAM Presidential Plenary Session—a struggle for both patients and the neurologists working to help them!

@oligoclonalband.medsky.social and Dr Chadehumbe do such great work. I'm proud to be pictured with them at #AANAM

A great talk and a well-deserved award! #AANAM @aanmember.bsky.social

Experts Call NIH Budget Cuts an 'Apocalypse' for Science The reductions target indirect costs that cover administrative and equipment costs.

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Yep.

They did more than just go along. They kept him out of jail so he could run again, then helped him win. Now they are helping him subvert democracy.

CDC cuts expected to devastate Epidemic Intelligence Service, a ‘crown jewel’ of public health Members of the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service were warned Friday that many of them were about to be fired

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades.
Envy of the world. Poof!

Gee I called both of my GOP senators about this. So surprised they acted like every other GOP politician since 2016 (except Kinzinger and Liz Cheney) and caved in. I'm sure they know better. Then again, maybe not.

I'm afraid so. Terrible.

What a sad state of affairs in the USA

I have been here over 26 years. Great place to work @cincyresearch.bsky.social

I am seriously embarrassed for our country.

Indirect research costs are complicated, wonky — and crucial to science After two decades of work in biomedical research policy, there is no topic Carrie Wolinetz hates talking about more than indirect costs. She’s addressing them now because they are crucial.

Excellent piece.

Yes.

This is nuts.

In related news, looks like the order re: 22 states v NIH only applies to the plaintiff states and not to the other 28 states. Time for Red states to step up.
