My friend and colleague @albeccia.bsky.social is featured in today’s Boston Globe on how LGBTQIA+ research has been decimated by the NIH. I’m devastated for her, and for every researcher impacted across the U.S.

🚨 ALL my remaining NIH grants were just terminated

Without philanthropic gifts, this is the end of
1️⃣ my career (as I know it)
2️⃣ @lgbtqhealthexce.bsky.social
3️⃣ our LGBTQ health equity work

Yet, reading about LGBTQ families in my kid's class reminded me: love knows no bounds 🌈

You with us?

my NIH grant was terminated today - the grant that pays my rent and my bills and my loans and my health insurance - because I study how to improve the lives and wellbeing of queer people #episky #medsky

Hearing about a fresh wave of NIH grant cancellations happening right now 😩 Along with a trickle earlier this week. Just example reports though -- no clue on exact #.

Still haven't heard about any at NSF yet though, which is tentatively good.

"In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet 'agency priorities'"

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed.

Goes beyond MMWR +other CDC pubs. Applies to research already submitted to top medical journals.

Take a look.

The CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System is now gone.

We researchers & clinicians use this to track teens’ risk for violence, drug use, pregnancy, STDs & HIV.

Public health is being dismantled right before our eyes.

what’s happening with the CDC, NIH, etc is targeted censorship and erasure and we should all be raising hell over it

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Protect all libraries forever.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
