I don’t care what anyone says… I love generational labels 😁
It’s a good way to make sense of the world
Like how #Millennials are sicker w chronic disease at relatively young ages…
Growing up during the deregulation & gaping inequality that started in 1980s will do that

What is happening here as well, is that many career scientists at e.g., NIAID are transitioned to Schedule P/C, meaning that they can be terminated at will.
The purge across our scientific and public health institutions continues, as congress is completely asleep at the steering wheel.
Hello, PMOS! 👋🏾
There’s a new, more accurate name for the condition formerly known as PCOS. #GYN
It’s exciting to have a name and understanding that fits the scieyve better: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome
Did anyone watch the virtual #NIH #P2P 3-day workshop “Advancing Research to Improve Health During the Menopausal Transition”?
I caught pieces of it. I’d love to chat with anyone who also caught it. what does it means for funding going forward? #GYN
Amen!
As a health care researcher, this is exciting. In the US system, it’s harder to study things that don’t have specific codes
This is a good, overdue move that is catching up to the science
“.. On Tuesday, Dr. Makary resigned, telling associates he could not in good conscience remain the head of an agency that backed such a policy.”

American science right now is basically 10,000 of these stories, all with their own heartbreaking specificity
Lost careers, lost progress, lost discoveries
I feel so sad every day for all we’ve lost and continue to lose 💔

Late in the afternoon on Friday (yesterday), HHS/NIH did 2 things:
1) They RIFd more employees (despite the extreme staffing shortages).
2) They sent announcements to supervisors letting them know people in their chain of command will be moved to the career/policy “at will” status.
