@AmitaGuptaMD has spent more than a decade on a $70m trial to study a new TB drug, enrolling 6,000 participants in 13 countries. It might all have been for nothing.
That's because an NIH policy has abruptly cut off billions to trials abroad. For @Nature

And here is where I landed. The film is, indeed, brilliant. I loved the movie. But I hated myself — and everyone else — for loving it, because I felt like that love demonstrated exactly why Holmes can seem to have such an eerie power over people.
So here's why I wish you didn’t want to see Nathan Fielder’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary
TLDR: Movie is great, humans suck.

NEWS: The board overseeing the NIH research hospital says RFK Jr.'s new vaccine clinic is politicizing and undermining trust in its research. Studies must "be designed to find the truth, not to confirm a conclusion reached in advance."

SCOOP: Top researchers at Columbia, Stanford, and others thought they were elected to elite scientific societies alongside Nobel laureates. The catch? The organizations are a sham.

NEW: Trump asked Russ Vought to draft an EO to create a board to decide on NIH grants, after the NIH Director refused Trump’s request to cut Harvard funding in a heated Oval Office meeting on Friday.
- Vought, Bhattacharya & others would be part of the board, which would have to reach unanimous decisions on grant awards
- “The president called him into the principal’s office,” one person said.
- Linda McMahon was also in the meeting but she did not participate in the fighting
- Others present: Bessent, Stephen Miller, Will Scharf & Mark Paoletta.
w/ the great @Tim_Roehn
