New ad dropped. Let’s go! I'm running for Congress in Utah's 1st District to take on big corporations & the billionaires. To make housing & energy more affordable, fight for Medicare for All, protect our public lands, & to build a future for all of us.

Poor leadership plain and simple
the grand finale: ISA’s President-Elect blocking me.
Not that I care to report, but based on her targeted behavior + language towards me today + others over the last few weeks— specifically using her role as ISA President-Elect as pretense— she’s likely in violation of ISA’s own Code of Conduct

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.
Ethical violation as POLICY.

Helpful insight on more about NIH funding with the data apocalypse as well.
I spoke to @science.org about how purging data harms public health response.
I called it a data apocalypse because it is driving the end of the scientific world.

As a grant reviewer, what do you really wish people would do/not do?
Not big things, like find a significant question/innovative method/be consistent with aims
Little things, like bold each acronym the first time it’s used.
