The number of people employed at the NIH is at its lowest level in at least two decades.
Hear from six scientists run out by Trump and the work they left behind on cancer research, tick-borne diseases, and more.

Scientists and other experts were preparing an assessment of the health of nature in the US when Trump returned to the White House. He canceled the report. The researchers went ahead and compiled it on their own. This week, they released a 868-p draft for public comment and scientific review.

With this war on Iran costing $1B per day, we are now at 4$B, an amount that would fund 3,200 five year NIH biomedical research grants.

So... A friend was supposed to give a PURELY SCIENTIFIC talk at NIH within the next couple of weeks and it was cancelled because of a "new process" where all speakers/talks have to be CLEARED BY A POLITICAL APPOINTEE.

A photo distributed by Iranian state media showed thousands in the streets of a town in southern Iran on Tuesday during the funeral for victims of an airstrike on a girls’ elementary school that killed at least 175 people, many of them students, on Saturday. nyti.ms/3N6jh4i
idk that seems to be the understatement of the week. this is actually happening, postdocs and RAs are being let go, and projects falter. 'could face funding gaps'? this is actually happening at a large scale. 'Worry' doesnt reflect the existential crisis that many of my colleagues are in.
Excited to share our new paper:

Polymarket has created a market that would monetize a nuclear attack amid increasing concerns that bets are happening among government insiders who can make military decisions.

Six American service members have been killed so far in this conflict in Iran. One of them is a 20-year-old Sergeant named Declan J. Coady of West Des Moines, the city I live in in Iowa. All of this is just so unnecessary and sad.
Secretary Noem must resign.
If she won’t, Congress must impeach her.

NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch — telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.

US bombing killed 57 kids in an Iranian elementary school
I'm avoiding the news but this came by and sums up the horror of what Trump has done to once again distract us from rape of children and the evil of ICE
People INSIDE the Trump administration placed bets on a war they knew was coming, and profited.
Aside from the complete moral corruption of betting upon war, this is so unethical that it boggles the mind.
