Trump blocks NIH review. I’m on a study section to review cancer grants but received this email today:
NIH has paused all communication, as directed by the new administration (e.g. https://t.co/KD9vnuN3ac ), and that apparently includes a pause for all study section meetings
NEW—Trump WH has blocked all CDC science reports (eg MMWR) & suspended all CDC / FDA / NIH external communications of all HHS agencies until further notice... including all FDA & CDC Health Alert warnings & all social media. Public health be damned.

#APSselect study from @AJPRenal suggests that the protein actinin-4 interacts with the Na+/K+/2Cl cotransporter to regulate the kidney’s thick ascending limb salt reabsorption: https://t.co/R17dxVGKe0 CC: @AJPRenalEIC, @313Kidney
Congrats to Dipak Maskey et al. for the #APSselect paper "The FSGS protein actinin-4 (ACTN4) interacts with NKCC2 to regulate Thick Ascending Limb (TAL) NaCl reabsorption." in @AJPRenal

#Hypertension24 was fun! Grateful to have had the opportunity to present our work at the just ended AHA Hypertension Session. Also honored to be a recipient of these awards. Special thanks to my mentor @313Kidney who is a great source of inspiration . @KidneyInCVD@CouncilonHTN
@rocephin432@KidneyInCVD@CouncilonHTN Excellent job Isaac , congrats on all your achievements this meeting. Your talk was wonderful . Keep up the great work
A new preclinical study shows that the protein #WNK1—a potential drug target in #cancer and hypertension—also plays important roles in humoral #immunity and #Bcell migration, suggesting scientists should develop WNK1 inhibitors with caution. @NIAIDNews https://t.co/WYRqnedp1S
