I know not everyone can keep up with all the grant terminations, but it’s important to know what we’re losing so I’ll try to compile them here.

First is a study on intimate partner violence with perinatal women (note: the #1 cause of death during pregnancy is homicide)

bsky.app/profile/rebe...
Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

For *years* we only really knew how well drugs work in white men. Recently, we were starting to make progress in ensuring we have data on safety and effectiveness in women and non-white groups.

That’s being undone.

Our study found that nearly 40% (!) of 12-21 yo females are iron deficient.

But did you know that in addition to many physical symptoms, iron deficiency is associated with multiple mental health issues?
