If she writes it, you should really try to read it. Dr Judy Stone's latest in Forbes about the cuts at so many critical places: FDA, 'CDC, NIH, etc.

How Will RFK’s Cuts At The CDC, FDA And NIH Affect You?

OMB plans cuts of $40 billion to HHS. The NIH and CDC will each face reductions of more than 40%. What will you see when this happens?

I'm excited to have a LTE about the #HHS' cuts to #NIH and #FDA published in the @BaltimoreBanner: https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/letters/science-research-investment-cuts-FO3ANCSMEJHIHCBN6ZRFT7LWSY/

If you are in #Maryland, please share with our Senators Van Hollen and Alsobrooks and Rep McClain-Delaney

Letter: Cuts to research put focus on politics, not science

Judy Stone, M.D., an infectious disease specialist, says the Trump administration’s cuts to scientific research will cost jobs harm critical studies.

The Baltimore Banner

One of the stories is about Heather Stone, who is @drjudystone 's daughter. She did an amazing thing, and, like almost everyone else there, is now waiting in fear for her job.

Lewis is a fabulous writer.

Great article on Hantavirus, where you might pick up this rare disease, and how diagnosing it has become much harder due to the decimation of our government.

For the next 2 weeks, @defendpublichealth.bsky.social is asking for everyone to call their members of Congress about the cuts to and political interference at NIH by the Trump White House. 1/ 5calls.org/issue/nation...
