Especially important in these times of reduced #SNAP eligibility for families with teens, and with the government no longer tracking national trends in food insecurity...

So grateful to the teens who shared their experiences with us to help develop the Co-occurring Insecurities Model, a new working theoretical model to explain the link between #foodinsecurity and #bingeeating. Full text: authors.elsevier.com/a/1loUMiVKTo...

Met @albeccia.bsky.social at #SER2025 and heard a story of persistence in lobbying for a public health database to include important questions — work that has been threatened by the current administration

1/x My NIH grant that would collect data to help *prevent suicidal thoughts and behaviors* among LGBTQ+ people was terminated today, along with many other LGBTQ+ focused grants. These terminations make no sense scientifically. Here's why:

This is NOT okay.

🧵Yesterday, I received notice that my #NIH grant, on the social environment, lifecourse, epigenetics & #birthoutcomes in Black families, was terminated. This grant represented a critical effort to address the ⬆️ rates of maternal & infant mortality in the US, particularly among Black mothers & babies

Providing every child access to a high quality education is the most important thing we can do to protect our future. An educated workforce drives the economy, scientific innovation and secures our countries place as a world leader. Eliminating the #doe will hurt all of us. #departmentofeducation

Share this and fill in the info if you have it.

We need to organize--let’s help each other.

NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond.

I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations.

Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!

This translates to IDC rates of around 38%, not 27-28%.

Interesting that the people making decisions about #NIH #IDC rates don’t even know how to interpret IDC data… The average “IDC rates” between 27% and 28% reported by NIH they refer to in the supplemental guidance notice are actually %’s of total costs, not IDC rates 🙄

The Senate HELP Committee has jurisdiction over NIH.

GOP members of the committee represent AK, AL, IN, FL, KS, KY, LA, ME, MO, OH, and SC.

Research universities and hospitals in those states need to be extra loud.
