Women were excluded from clinical trials until 1993. It took an act of Congress to include women in medical research. Since then, we’ve been fighting to bridge the gap. But, this administration is now taking us backward by cutting NIH funding. This Women’s Health Week shows we need to keep pushing forward.

I grilled Sec. Linda McMahon on the Department of Education's new rule that excludes nursing from a list of "professional" degrees. In addition to being insulting and out of touch, this rule will raise education costs for nurses in a moment when our country is in a nursing crisis. It's a result of the Big Ugly Bill.

NEW: A serious staffing shortage — of the Trump admin's own making — is delaying the agency's ability to send billions to universities around the US, leaving labs reeling. “I thought we were at rock bottom”, a senior NIH official said. “We are below rock bottom now.”

Crediting Dr. Oz with being a scientist is funny. In 2003, Dr. Oz was banned for 2 years from presenting research at the American Association for Thoracic Surgery conference. A CMS Administrator who is allegedly a surgeon who lost his privileges to perform surgery. Top tier!

An amendment that would vastly improve @SenJohnKennedy’s resolution is legislators would forfeit any retroactive payment of that salary. I bet that provision alone would produce bipartisan legislation that would put a stop to these dumbass shenanigans.

My resolution to stop senators' pay during government shutdowns cleared a key procedural vote today, moving it one step closer to final passage. Fair-minded Americans know senators should feel the pain of a shutdown with the American people.

Modern scientific accomplishments are amazing. The gutting of the CDC is penny wise and pound foolish. Oh, I almost forgot. Someone eliminated the penny. Probably because due to inflation, it should be a dollar.

The CDC doesn't have a PCR test for the Andes virus. I learned that a lab in Nebraska built and validated an Andes-specific PCR test in literal days in anticipation of receiving the American cruise ship passengers. My story for @WIRED: wired.com/story/race-to-…

I learn something new everyday. This interesting historical venue hosts a wide variety of events, including presidential balls. Makes the destruction of the East Wing an even greater morally reprehensible monstrosity.

The US government already has a ballroom just down the street. The Andrew Mellon Auditorium is less than a mile away from the White House is beautiful and accommodates more people than the new ballroom will and is owned by the U.S. Government. via Shelia Earl

Grocery prices in the U.S. soared faster in April than any month in nearly four years, driving up the cost of everything from frankfurters to tomatoes to cupcakes, according to government data. abcnews.link/xPaGhxl

It’s strange to live in a world where people think every scientist, researcher, or doctor is a shill - but an anonymous X account is telling the truth.

‘Took the batteries out of the carbon monoxide detector because the loud beeping was giving me a headache and making me feel sick and dizzy!’ This is what antivaxxers sound like 🤦‍♂️

Who is choosing to wear a seatbelt? I’m thinking of skipping it. I’m a safe driver. I don’t actually know anybody who has flown through their windshield. Most accidents are just minor fender benders anyway. This is exactly what anti-vax posts sound like to me.

Doctors say that a Vitamin K injection given at birth saves hundreds of lives. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for "further study" says the injection creates mitochondrial challenges. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Doctors say that fluoride helps build strong teeth. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for “further study” says it causes autism. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.
