Putting RFK Jr. in charge of the nation’s public health is a huge mistake.
When dangerous diseases resurface and people can’t access lifesaving vaccines, all Americans will suffer — and RFK Jr.’s family could keep getting richer thanks to his serious conflicts of interest.

BREAKING NEWS:
RFK Jr. has been confirmed.
Watch this and tell me how any sane person would ever want this man in charge of our heath.

RFK Jr. is about the least qualified person to be in charge of the nation’s health as head of HHS. He's fully on board for Donald Trump's fascist takeover of the government.
But he used to sing a very different tune years ago.
What happened to this RFK Jr.?

I don't think the richest person in the world should be holding back funding for cancer research in violation of both the law and court orders

Trump's proposal is ILLEGAL & amounts to an indiscriminate funding cut for research centers of all sizes, NOT just Ivies. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, & derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

I hate having to share this, but I know I’m not alone. I had a miscarriage post-Roe while visiting family in Texas in 2022. I almost died — after 7-8 hours of begging, I got an emergency D&C and transfusion. They don’t mind letting women die. apnews.com/article/supreme-c…

Supreme Court votes to murder women. That's it. That's the headline.

The Hartman lab is a great place to do top notch research on emerging viruses, particularly Rift Valley fever virus. We have a great team of undergrads, MS/PhD students, techs, post-docs and faculty. Bonus: we regularly have homemade baked goods at lab meetings.
🚨👇 2 opportunities are now available in my lab!
Sense of humor required!

Great news ... but a stable model has to be found ... and I don't feel that we should give @NIAIDFunding a free pass on this. I am still puzzled that one would cut funding to something we urgently need and replace it with something few of us have asked for or need for.

Protein sequencing using ONT nanopore flowcells. Experiments were done on the MinION platform using R9.4.1 flow cells. Run conditions were set with a custom MinKNOW script from Oxford @nanopore at a temperature of 30 °C, voltage of −140 mV / 3 kHz.

A young mother from Georgia should be alive today, raising her son and pursuing her dream of attending nursing school.
This is exactly what we feared when Roe v. Wade was struck down. In more than 20 states, Trump Abortion Bans prevent doctors from providing basic medical care.
