Trump halts medical research funding in apparent violation of judge’s order Health department orders NIH to hold Federal Register submissions – critical step in process for funding studies

Trump officials are trying to sneak around federal judges’ orders.

They could be held in civil contempt of court, which can include jail time and can’t be undone with a presidential pardon, according to @sbagen.bsky.social .

In 2025... what a dark new world we're in. 😔

Ugh, this sucks+++! I can't even believe this is happening in 2025! The damage they're doing will have repercussions for decades, and patients will pay with their lives.

I understand you don't want the pity party, but I do hope you find the will and resilience to keep going up this uphill battle.

just blurted out in class "yes, you have to cite where you got your info. in a world in which lying loudly is the only thing that seems to get rewarded, citing your sources is an act of resistance" and folks, I really believe that.

Cover of Thursday’s issue which I wrote the cover story for about Gisèle Pelicot as person of the year 2024

On Thursday the 2024 issue of @theneweuropean.bsky.social comes out and they have given me the platform to explain why Gisèle Pelicot is my hero and how she radically changed the conversation about shame and sexual assault
It is my proudest writing.

Gisèle Pelicot in front of a bank of microphones talks to the press

“We share the same fight.”

Gisèle Pelicot pays tribute to other victims of sexual abuse after her husband & 50 other men were jailed for her rape.

Impossible to find the words to adequately describe this lady’s courage.

Unquestionably, irrefutably 2024’s Person of the Year.

Merci Madame.

Key @hsruk.bsky.social recommendation for #HealthResearch:

7. Emphasise Diversity & #PublicInvolvement

✅ Develop inclusive strategies to engage underrepresented communities in research & service design
✅ Co-create research & services to enhance trust, improve outcomes & reduce inequalities

Do any Canadians feel icky after this comment, like we've been groped by the orange creep? *shudder*

Could you please be more specific as to which time you're speaking about?

Why orange guy? He's not President yet. What a stain on that day...

I bet he will push himself to the front row to make himself the center of attention.

Good morning, Blue Sky.

Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people.

Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead.

Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just.

Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.

Thank you to everyone who's booked so far - we should have some interesting discussions!
#PPI people: It's filling up fast if you haven't booked already.

Post: Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.

We’re not going back.
