(1/2) Why therapists should provide culturally-responsive care for their clients ⬇️
Conversations about racism and oppression in therapy can feel uncomfortable - but they’re essential. Cultural identity can shape how clients experience trauma and how they engage in treatment.

Excellent thread on the NIH Director’s recent interview.

Jeremy Berg @jeremymberg.bsky.social · Aug 11

I listened to Bhattacharya on Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast.

If you want to know how it went, see the following email that I just sent.

1/13

Dear Dr. Bhattacharya:

I have listened to your performance on the “War Room” podcast with Steve Bannon. The segment begins with a discussion of Secretary Kennedy’s recent cancellation of $500M worth of contracts related to mRNA vaccines.

You say “You can’t have a platform where such a large percentage of the population distrusts the platform as we use it for vaccines and expect it to work.” Later, you make comments that might explain why a large segment of the percentage distrusts this platform. For example, you say that the vaccine was not protective against contracting COVID and cite your own case on COVID after being vaccinated. However, you fail to cite the evidence for the clinical trials that led to the Emergency Use Authorization.

7. So keep your head up the best that you can. Every scientist has succeeded via raw persistence and dog headedness. Discouragement is the intent. We are not at that point yet, and people are in the trenches every day fighting to keep it that way. 8/n

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals.

What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research.

Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out.

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

Oh no. That’s an amazing percentile! How painful.

“Government funding fuels the high-risk, high-reward research that leads to scientific breakthroughs. When that foundation is undermined, so are the hopes of the 1 in 3 people living with a brain disease or disorder — more than 114 million Americans.”

Opinion | Drastic cuts to NIH will halt brain research on the cusp of transformational treatments.
