The U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office.
A Science analysis reveals how many were fired, retired, or quit across 14 agencies. Read more: https://scim.ag/4boPkq8
The #economics of avoided effort is funny: we often pay #money to outsource physical activity ...and then pay again to do the activity ourselves. Want more examples?
In this post, I elaborate, propose solutions, answer objections, etc.
Which experiments you have tried? How did it go?
Nothing is dignified if he is present.
How are you feeling about your fake Peace Prize now?

NIH is “…the largest government-funded biomedical research agency in the world, and until recently was the envy of scientists across the globe.
The president’s attacks on this legacy have been relentless and all-encompassing…”

Zero surprise that Chopra was involved.
This piece by @jeneeninterlandi.bsky.social is one for the ages. The damage Donald Trump (under the guidance of Russell Vought) has done to biomedical research is profound and will be long-lasting. It is a national tragedy to be measured in the sick and the dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/o...
Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”
Nailed it.

"Scientific expertise from the top all the way down to bench scientists has been lost .." How Kennedy dismantled public health agencies with almost no positive achievements to show for it.

I just want to point out that’s Doug Wilson speaking at the Pentagon. Doug Wilson wants: the 19th amendment repealed, non-Christian religions outlawed, the death penalty for homosexuality, women barred from working or holding office, blasphemy laws, and one party theocratic rule.

Should've had the burrito bowl.
When the U.S. House passed the SAVE Act last year, historians told us it was Congress’ worst attack on voting rights ever. Well, this week the House approved an even worse one. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
RFK Jr. pledged more transparency. Here's what the public doesn't know anymore abcnews.com/Politics/wir... via @mikestobbe.bsky.social
There hasn’t been a food pyramid in 15 years. What they’ve done is paint a thin patina of well established and long recommended advice over a giant pile of harmful bullshit that does nothing to address the core problems with American diets.
In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both. n.pr/46QDn9p
Found this 9 or 10 years ago. Wish I knew who to credit.
Name names. Marty Makary, Vinay Prasad, Jay Bhattacharya, Tracy Beth Hoeg, Martin Kulldorff, Russell Vought, RFK Jr., Donald Trump. All of them contributed to this by their relentless attacks on vaccines and biomedical R&D.
Or the bathrooms at Mar-a-Lago?
Weekend reads: Largest leucovorin-autism trial retracted; a paper mill detector for cancer research articles; infant opioid poisoning report flagged
Prasad is even more of a piece of shit now than when I mocked him about his pandemic disinformation a year ago.

My colleague got into Trump's sprawling family detention camp, which is full of toddlers, kids, & teens.
- Kids have cut themselves or talked about suicide
-There's worms & mold in food
-300 kids have been held for 30+ days, far longer court settlement allows
