BREAKING—22 states sue to block Trump administration cuts to NIH research payments. Attorneys general seek court order to halt 15% cap on research overhead costs

INTS post-doctoral fellow Charity Ntansah and associate professor Kymberle Sterling are authors on a new @ntrjournal.bsky.social paper that uses a discrete choice experiment to explore the impact of reduced nicotine messages among people who use little cigars and cigarillos.

Wish I knew somebody who was in one of the two halls of Congress right now.

🤦🏻‍♀️

You can't say "inclusion criteria," ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHJJJHH

Anyway, how’s everyone doing?

No one should comply with this order. It is censorship. #Trump is a tin-pot dictator and this is garbage. insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...

Everyone concerned about data loss right now should learn about the End of Term Web Archive, which I believe has been working on preserving federal websites for the past 8 months. The dataset you fear has been lost may well be here

Just an incredible project. Thank you to everyone involved

I just reached out to my senators about the NIH situation. If you need to find out how much impact NIH has in your state in terms of dollars in and their economic impact here's a link: www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Why can't we have nice things?

Some variation based on study. In studies where only very low nic cigs were available, you see reductions in CPD, some increased quitting. This one (w/ noncombusted access) shows uptake of noncombusted products + fewer CPD and more smoke-free days (www.thelancet.com/journals/lan....

Viewpoint: Implementation of a low-nicotine product standard has the potential to be the most significant tobacco control policy of the 21st century.

@sequencemyneuro.bsky.social happy to send links to articles, if interested!

Clinical trials data show that if you reduce nicotine to a low enough level, it's essentially impossible to smoke enough cigs to get the amt of nicotine that smokers are looking for. You see initial compensatory smoking, but it doesn't last long and they give up on it, and then you see reductions.
