Musk is rumored to spend $40M on Super Bowl ads with his wildly distorted claims attacking USAID. Don’t believe them.

The last round are debunked below. wapo.st/3ErHBZM

And I'll unpack the reality in this 🧵, too. 1/13

It's not "Breaking News" now, since it was announced by NIH yesterday. But it is breaking.......

Under fascism, no one is safe.

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.

Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.

Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Good news: CDC back to posting MMWR reports

Bad news: The bird flu data and 3 studies were omitted, and 2 new household-cat transmissions unreported

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

It’s far too soon to ascribe responsibility for the horrific DC plane collision, but it’s not too soon to say that dismantling the safeguards afforded by a functioning federal government put us at significant risk. And it’s irrefutable that, since January 20th, we are all less safe.

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

We ought to change "sweet tooth" to "sweet gut"! erictopol.substack.com/p/how-our-gu...
