This is disturbing and, if related to the motives suggested, outrageous. Answers are needed form the committee. As someone who has served on numerous grant review committees, all that matters is: merit, originality of idea, feasibility and the potential for impact.
How much are MPs entitled to know about research grants? Not as much as they think. A parliamentary committee is asking for researchers' personal information in what seems like an anti-DEI crusade, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Junk science and fascism. Dr.Gunter: “Dr, Timothy Snyder, a noted expert on fascism, offers the best framing–fascism, he writes, is ‘the triumph of will over reason.’ This strips away right-wing and left-wing ideologies, and just leaves us with the perversion of truth in the quest for domination.”

This is very exciting! A small clinical trial using gene therapy for Huntington's disease has been successful. microRNAs were used to edit the Huntington mRNA, stopping it making mutant protein that can damage neurons. Huge hopes now for treating such a devastating condition

This MAGA/MAHA/Trump/RFK Jr/Dr Oz/Dr Bhattacharya press conference right now is quite possibly the worst press conference—from the viewpoints of medicine, public health, & medical ethics—that I’ve ever seen. These men are so shameless & deeply irresponsible. Wherever happened to science & evidence?

My guess is there will be no evidence to support ANY of the things they recommend. Ever.
To be clear: NO evidence to support this move.
Harmful, science-free, doubtmongering BS.
