Thoroughly enjoyed this afternoons Perinatal Research Symposium organized by the MD/PhD program. Great talks from all, especially enjoyed meeting with and hearing about Dr. Gurs research on perinatal stress #cardiosky @tamargurmdphd.bsky.social @kepalm02.bsky.social @cardiocarll.bsky.social

I have a pretty good idea of who needs to hear this but finish your CBLs

Bernie Sanders' office has put out a report this morning on Trump's NIH cuts: "Trump officials effectively cut $2.7 billion in [NIH] funding in the first three months of 2025 – including a 31 percent cut to cancer research through March, compared to the same timeframe last year."

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

I’m proud to join the great Cyndi Lauper in the fight for women’s rights & healthcare. Go to www.bonfire.com/girlswantrights2025 to get a shirt and learn more about the #GirlsJustWantToHaveFundamentalRights Fund. @tidescommunity.bsky.social

Here's the video; thanks to folks who sent it to me.

Pls watch to the end; it heats up about 2/3 of the way through, but of course, the true impact is in how comprehensive the damage to public health is - watching it all will give you a fuller sense of the s* we're in.

A truly remarkable resignation letter from a physician who was the chief medical officer in an institute within NIH, published in a medical journal. Containing also some proposals for what science culture and organization should do now. www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1513/...

Excellent social media panel yesterday with @leahmay.bsky.social @tamargurmdphd.bsky.social and Lana Grasser for #SOBP2025. We collectively mourned the loss of science community we had on Twitter.

Can we bring it back here ? What is the future of connecting with our colleagues?

Connor your post went practically VIRAL 😭

How meta 💙

Bittersweet to be rotating off SOBP council and as Social Media editor- will miss these shining faces but look forward to contributing as part of the editorial board

Hellllllloooooooo Toronto! Here for #SOBP2025 and hoping muscle memory kicks in so I can get in conference mode

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

Thankful to @flagel-lab.bsky.social for a GREAT visit to ❌ichigan!

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.

Collecting my thoughts at the end of one of the worst days of my life...

At NIH, > 1300 people were RIFed. These range all across the board from institute directors to low level administrative staff.

Communication staff and procurement appear to be hardest hit as anticipated from the HHS plan

1/n

Before sunrise, Trump and DOGE fired thousands of federal workers across HHS, including many of my constituents. Let’s fire DOGE and get these devoted and critical public servants back on the job.
