Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!
That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"
I genuinely think we should start calling businesses and schools falling to the anti-DEI movement “segregationists” because they are re-segregating. And earlier rounds of segregationists *also* explained their preferred policy in race-neutral terms (“state’s rights” and “freedom of association”).

Maybe Dr. Oz owning $550,000 in UnitedHealth stock and seeking to run the agency that oversees UnitedHealth's biggest cash cow (Medicare Advantage) should get more attention

Tell me your Thanksgiving Shame.
My first solo Thanksgiving, I cut myself making stuffing and bled all over it. Rodney Dangerfield was a friend and he came into the kitchen and found me crying. He grabbed a spoon, mixed the blood in and and said "Honey, they're all drunk." Everyone ate it.

Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years

if you wear cowboy boots, consider flared legged trousers or bootcut jeans, which will comfortably slip over the tops of your boots. alternatively, you can wear side zip boots. in pic 4, you can see how slim trousers can still fit over side zips since the boot shaft is narrower.

Remember, friends! Boundaries without consequences are merely suggestions. Set your boundaries, but also set consequences for when people cross those boundaries…because people will try to cross those boundaries. ☝🏽

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.
Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
