- SSRIs are life-changing for millions of people. Fighting the stigma around mental illness and medication is hard enough without RFK Jr. using his platform to sow doubt, hesitancy, and shame. The cost of ripping away antidepressants is steep. If we want to save lives, we have to #RemoveRFKjr.
- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyI am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one. It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

- RFK already has been responsible for so many deaths
- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyIf you are a scientist funded by NIH and agree that if the HHS/NIH bill is held hostage by linkage for funding to DHS/ICE, we need to shutdown both and save lives, its time to speak up. Right now, with a few exceptions, the silence is deafening
- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyBREAKING: Border Patrol's notorious lead agent, Greg Bovino, is reportedly withdrawing from Minneapolis following public pressure. The power of the people works — but our communities need safety. We call on Congress to demand ICE and Border Patrol leave Minneapolis now.

- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyImportant story from Max Kozlov. Loss without replacement of council members is a serious concerns which could be a huge problem in the future, but this is uncertain.
- Every day a new threat. Stay diligent folks. Call your reps!!

- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyThere is a lot of talk lately about multi-year funding (MYF) at NIH. This is mostly a paperwork issue, but it can have a dramatic impact on the number of grants that get funded. I was curious how this would impact grant numbers over time, so I did some simple modeling. 1/n
- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyThe LHHS bill hands Vought a win on multiyear funding, allowing it to continue at up to 39% The language to minimize politicization of Institute directors has no teeth - it's not in the actual bill I appreciate those in Congress who fought hard. Ultimately I fear this won't be enough to save NIH

- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyChris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."
- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyMagic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.
- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyThis settlement is the best case scenario for these applications at this point. Pushing back matters but real damage still done by illegal actions by the current NIH leadership. Thanks to everyone who helped make this settlement happen!
- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyBREAKING: The National Institutes of Health has agreed to evaluate grant applications that were wrongfully frozen due to the Trump administration’s ideological purge of biomedical research.

- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyDear God, Jay Bhattacharya is just hopeless. He can't simply say getting polio is bad and is far worse than any side effects from the vaccine. He's is so far gone. It's tragic really. Too bad for all of us that he runs the National Institutes of Health.
- We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer... @repauchincloss.bsky.social

- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyI had a PhD application with an entirely hallucinated reference section. When I asked the kid why I couldn't find the journals let alone the references, he doubled down and said they were placeholders for the actual papers and the rest was definitely his work. We can't keep on top of this.

- Reposted by Valerie HorsleyLet’s be clear. This is about cronyism and patronage. The authoritarian and his minions get to decide what science is and who gets to do it. Everything is Lysenkoism now. And it will end in the same way: human suffering and the fall of a nation’s science. Tragedy All around.
- Well, this is an utter disaster for science. This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next. 🧪
