Flávio se recusa a responder por que votou contra o aumento da licença maternidade. Ele foi o único deputado a votar contra o projeto na Assembleia Legislativa no Rio em 2009.
After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology. Lately, I’ve focused on unravelling the reasons why diets high in ultra-processed food are linked to epidemic proportions of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Our research leads the world on this topic.
Given recent bipartisan goals to prevent diet-related chronic diseases, and new agency leadership professing to prioritize scientific investigation of ultra-processed foods, I had hoped to expand our research program with ambitious plans to more rapidly and efficiently determine how our food is likely making Americans chronically sick.
Unfortunately, recent events have made me question whether NIH continues to be a place where I can freely conduct unbiased science. Specifically, I experienced censorship in the reporting of our research because of agency concerns that it did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives of my agency’s leadership about ultra-processed food addiction.
I was hoping this was an aberration. So, weeks ago I wrote to my agency’s leadership expressing my concerns and requested time to discuss these issues, but I never received a response. Without any reassurance there wouldn’t be continued censorship or meddling in our research, I felt compelled to accept early retirement to preserve health insurance for my family. (Resigning later in protest of any future meddling or censorship would result in losing that benefit.) Due to very tight deadlines to make this decision, I don’t yet have plans for my future career.
The NIH has been a wonderful place because it allows scientists to take risks, form unique collaborations, and do studies difficult to conduct elsewhere. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and I’m fortunate to have had such wonderful colleagues and scientific collaborators. I hope to someday return to government service and lead a research program that will continue to provide gold-standard science to make Americans healthy.
My friend @SenBooker has been speaking nonstop in the Senate for more than 15 hours!
I'm going to help him out and keep this going.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are taking a chainsaw to stuff like the Social Security Administration — and it can't be business as usual.
I just got off the Senate floor where I joined Senator Booker who has been speaking since last night. His words remind us: this is not a left or right moment—it’s a right or wrong moment. We must stand up and fight back.
4:45am outside the Senate chamber. @CoryBooker about to begin hour 11 of his filibuster to protest Trump’s Medicaid cuts, corruption and lawlessness.
Been proud to be his wingman throughout. I’m here until he decides to sit down.
It’s been over 13 hours since I started speaking, and I intend to stay on the Senate floor as long as I’m physically able. I’m here to do my job, as a Senator from New Jersey, to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed by President Trump. I'm am speaking up.
BREAKING: Senator Jon Ossoff just delivered one of the strongest and succinct rebukes we’ve seen of the chaos, incompetence and greed that has defined Trump’s presidency. Retweet so all Americans hear this message.
I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill.
NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want.
NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats.
We need to push back.
@SenSchumer You are an idiot and will never have my vote again . Let them govern and shut down the government. Why are you giving up so easily? No fight ? What is wrong with you
Trump is heading to Mar-a-lago to GOLF all weekend on the Taxpayers’ dime. This trip will cost taxpayers approximately $3 million, or to put it another way, enough money for USAID to feed approximately 300,000 starving kids all weekend.
INEFFICIENT!
