ME/CFS has historically been underfunded and under-researched to a degree that is almost impossible to fathom, despite having one of the lowest quality of life scores of all chronic diseases and being relatively common.

[Prime Minister of Canada @CanadianPM]

Ahead of the @G7 Summit, Prime Minister Mark Carney met with the Treaty 7 Chiefs and expressed his gratitude for welcoming world leaders and delegates to their traditional territory.

@ATinyGreenCell @NikoMcCarty @sojunky I often get nervous when I hear about the different things that people struggling with infection-associated chronic illnesses #IACI are trying. I know some people are taking methylene blue and I know some are using 650nm light. Reading this I really hope no one's trying both

@ImmunoFever @PaigeSHansen Amazing as always, Paige! ❤️

Finally online - sharing our findings that #Lyme disease bacteria can live in female reproductive organs for over a year and increase risk for gynecological disease!!! We found this increased risk in mice and humans! 😱 (thread below)

We need to study how Lyme harms cells in the uterus and ovaries. Is the bacteria itself causing trouble or is it the way the immune system is fighting the bacteria and causing collateral damage? This could impact women's health.

Chinese biotech in 2025 🇨🇳. Lots of chatter, but still without a thorough look at what kinds of drugs China is actively developing.

To address this, I reviewed 54 Chinese biopharma pipelines, highlighting notable deals, assets, and trends

Singing O Canada loud and proud after winning the #4Nations Face-Off. 🇨🇦

What a feeling.

https://t.co/kjvqOhCkJ9 “The idea that we can balance the budget by eliminating foreign aid, which you sometimes hear, is a fallacy.” From Doctors Without Borders: “People have already lost access to lifesaving care and have no idea whether or when their treatment will continue.”

[Prof. Akiko Iwasaki @VirusesImmunity]

NIH indirect costs fund the backbone of research: maintaining labs, ensuring safety, and supporting admin work. These are essential for groundbreaking discoveries. Drastic cuts to NIH indirect rates are detrimental to academic biomedical research.

[Jonathan Kagan @jkagan1]

This is a list of blockbuster drugs in 2024. Guess how many can trace their origins to NIH funded research?
All of them.

[Michal Tal, PhD @ImmunoFever]

What a bizarre world. Our research did make it into MIT president's statement about why MIT is joining the law suit in federal court over this, and what's on the line for us.

@JessicaValenti Thank you for doing this. 🏳️‍🌈💓

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at https://t.co/8XlteewbRp - I'll be adding more over the weekend.
