🧪This is history in the making.
On this day last year, @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social et al. penned the #BethesdaDeclaration criticizing the politicization of the #NIH.
Cancer research grants supporting clinical trials were terminated, halting clinical trials. Fewer grants were funded.🧪
The AI backlash is going to be the main story of next year. You’re going to get tired of hearing about it, and billions is going to be spent on the PR campaign to revive the image of this technology.
And it didn’t have to be this way! They CHOSE to go ‘this stuff is ready, and you must use it NOW’

We published an article written by a number of current and former peer review workers in their personal capacities outlining the changes to peer review at the NIH over the last 18 months. It’s a great resource, and we’re grateful to the authors who wrote it! open.substack.com/pub/27unihte...
Authored by anonymous current and former NIH workers with experience in peer review, this is an overview of all the changes to NIH's peer review over the last 18 months.
