The #WomensHealthInitiative is an amazing, longitudinal study thats been following a set of women for over 30 years! I assume the "Women's" part is a big part of why it's been cut 😡

After we published a public audit on Saturday, Elon Musk’s DOGE deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” wiping out an additional $4 billion in so-called savings that the group had claimed to secure for U.S. taxpayers.

America is standing up. Let’s keep the momentum going—more protests are planned for next week. Together, we can stop this coup.
Remember, the resistance won’t be televised.

I spent two nights testing and modifying my science class at my kiddo’s school - 2nd graders. They will use microscope to look at sand and garden soil and test erosion.
Will do everything to keep that fire of curiosity burning for as many kids I can reach.
Can’t give up hope yet.

This is very important and concerning. The NIH funding freeze is *still in place*. NIH can't issue new awards if proposals aren't approved by Council. OMB is using a technical work around to prevent these meetings from happening. NIH can't post meetings, so they can't actually have them.

When it is hard to focus, breathe and re-engage. Have you tried the 5 calls yet. Besides massive illegal layoffs, there is no council meeting scheduled yet on federal register: NIH funding is still not flowing despite prior congressional appropriations and approval. Please call your congressman.
