Viruses don’t care about you. Apparently, neither do our policies.

Remember when pregnant women were being told not to take Tylenol?

A new Lancet review a finds no causal link between prenatal acetaminophen use and autism or ADHD.

What does matter during pregnancy: high fevers.

This should come as absolutely no surprise. The US isn’t losing its edge because our universities got worse. We are losing it because others are investing faster while we cut funding, restrict talent, and politicize science.

These rankings are the first signal of the decline.

Congratulations Alondra!!

Some good news. The senate committee rejected the 40% budget cut for NIH and instead endorsed a $400 million budget increase. Science for the win.

We’re going to lose an entire generation of scientists. NSF, one of the largest federal funders of STEM education has seen an 80> reduction in , including support for trainees so far this year. You can’t have science without scientists.

In case anyone needs to hear this: some forms of prostate cancer are aggressive and can progress rapidly, often undetected until they are advanced. Speculative narratives and misinformation around late-stage diagnoses are damaging to the entire cancer patient community.

There has never been a president who fought harder for cancer patients than Joe Biden. This diagnosis hits so many deeply, but I remain profoundly grateful for his unwavering service and commitment to those working to save lives and to ease the suffering of so many.

NIH Grant Cuts Aren't Saving Money. They're Wasting It. The Trump administration says the canceled funding is about cost efficiency, but data shows that the opposite is happening.

Nearly $400M in taxpayer investment was thrown away by canceling critical research midstream, halting studies before results could benefit the public. That 💯 is not reform.

The director of the National Science Foundation has announced his resignation amid plans to slash the agency’s budget by 55%, eliminating half the staff, and canceling over $1 billion in scientific grants.

Democrats launch effort to get 100 doctors into elected office The campaign comes after all four Senate GOP physicians voted to confirm RFK Jr. as the nation’s health secretary.

Love this. Also a reminder that there is currently only one science PhD in Congress in case someone is interested in a career pivot 😬

HHS just scrapped a 54-year-old policy requiring public input on regulations for grants, benefits, and contracts. This guts transparency and shuts out stakeholders from key health policy decisions - completely contradicting any claim of radical transparency.
