🚨 Please consider posting a comment to the NIH regarding the Strategic Plan that includes reducing funding for animal research. Responses from the research community are currently greatly underrepresented compared w/ advocacy groups opposing animal experimentation.

@DingchangLin @Nature Remarkable work.

[Tabrez J. Siddiqui @SiddiquiLab]

@DrJKhokhar And they want to bring in more people to Canada to fight over a shrinking pie. Canadian science funding is becoming a joke.

[Julio Martinez @JulioMTNeuro]

@CIHR_IRSC 11% funding rates will slowly destroy our health research ecosystem. We continue to hire more researchers, and we want to do so, of course, with so many brilliant minds around, yet funding remains the same or decreases.

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr and Trump are wrong—the largest & best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol, Tylenol) use by the mother during pregnancy. A crude unadjusted analysis found only a preliminary 5% risk, but once you adjust for family by matching using sibling controls (who didn’t get autism), the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0% 📉. (Fun fact: I used to do drug safety epidemiology and have been whistleblower against big pharma when their drugs were dangerous—so I know a few things about drug safety data). Thread 🧵.

[Michael 英泉 Eisen @mbeisen]

The really galling thing about the Acetaminophen thing is that the observations of a potential link between its use in pregnancy and autism WERE taken seriously, and WERE studied using "gold standard science", and found not to be there. The same thing is true of the link to vaccines. The only gaslighting that's happening here is repeatedly pushing disproven theories that will help no one, and harm many. https://t.co/duNAqDKtEP

To insult two highly respected and free thinking politicians like this is disgraceful.
It just shows how far standards in society have fallen.
Anyone reposting this insulting photograph should feel utterly ashamed.

More fentanyl was dispensed by Trump’s White House doctor per the pharmacy logs from his first term than what is crossing the border from Canada.
