Plenary Session - inactive due to federal service

Back to basics as I break down a trial

I'm talking about USAID and Elon's team of six engineers; the Bobby Kennedy Jr hearings, particularly concerning Samoa; MMR vaccines; DEI; and NIH funding complaints.

I discuss RFK Jr.'s confirmation as the US Secretary of Health and Human Services; recent layoffs at the CDC and NIH; and some comments by Harold Varmus in criticism of Jay Bhattacharya.

I discuss the intense media coverage of Trump and the recent decision to cap indirect costs of NIH grants at 15%.

I discuss the recent reduction in indirect funds for NIH grants and lay out why the NIH is a broken funding system.
