This is such an amazing answer from Kamala Harris on Sarah Huckabee Sanders insulting her “I don't think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who are not aspiring to be humble. This is not the 1950s anymore.” Spot on.

Trump blocks NIH review. I’m on a study section to review cancer grants but received this email today: NIH has paused all communication, as directed by the new administration (e.g. cnn.com/2025/01/21/hea… ), and that apparently includes a pause for all study section meetings

🚨Apparently all NIH Study Sections have been suspended indefinitely. For those who don’t know, this means there won’t be any review of grants submitted to NIH Depending on how long this goes on for, this could lead to an interruption in billions in research funding.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections: these are the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of more than 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

Tomorrow I will be removing my account. The executive orders and ensuing meltdown at the NIH is the last straw. See you on bluesky! bsky.app/profile/emilyl…

Our NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today. With this grant, we had developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid, and we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own second-generation inhibitor.
