Today was my last day of clerkship year. Instead of saying all the things, I will ask you to help us continue to care for patients:
1.Call your reps
2.Sign the Bethesda Declaration
3.Sign the EPA Declaration of Dissent

The #BethesdaDeclaration signers killed it today during the roundtable with Jay.

Some of my favorite highlights shared from my colleagues:

“Your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution and we are going to wash it off.”

NIH top career people, take this attitude too. You do not need to implement illegal orders just because they are in an EO.

Stand up, NIH! If you don’t Trump will fire you eventually anyway.
Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

This is why I signed the #BethesdaDeclaration.

From one of the leaders behind the #BethesdaDeclaration
But I signed because:

I couldn’t be complicit anymore

I want my kids to see how to stand up to bullies

They are coming for us anyway - keeping our heads down won’t save us… at best it delays the axe.

I am glad that because I have a soul, I know how delicious this coffee is. Thanks, @jeremymberg.bsky.social and #NIH colleagues. #BethesdaDeclaration

🧪This is history in the making.

On this day last year, @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social et al. penned the #BethesdaDeclaration criticizing the politicization of the #NIH.

Cancer research grants supporting clinical trials were terminated, halting clinical trials. Fewer grants were funded.🧪
We published an article written by a number of current and former peer review workers in their personal capacities outlining the changes to peer review at the NIH over the last 18 months. It’s a great resource, and we’re grateful to the authors who wrote it! open.substack.com/pub/27unihte...

Glad to see some scientific society leadership stepping up to endorse the #BethesdaDeclaration
Today, @nihfellowsunited.bsky.social staff sent a powerful letter to the NIH Director outlining serious concerns about the agency’s direction. Thousands have already signed in support—add your name. – Mary Munson, ASCB President www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

This morning, NASA released the #VoyagerDeclaration. This afternoon, NIH #BethesdaDeclaration signers met w/ Jay Bhattacharya. Earlier, EPA staff were terminated for their act of resistance.

I made this in solidarity. @altnih4science.bsky.social @altnasa.bsky.social @alt-epa-workers.bsky.social

Here is Senator Murray's statement regarding the #BethesdaDeclaration at the appropriation subcommittee hearing today with Dr. Bhattacharya.

🧪A must watch.
This is why #NIH staff signed the #BethesdaDeclaration and are screaming.

Abruptly terminating funding for ongoing #cancer clinical trials wastes more tax payer $ on unanswered questions & puts lives at risk.

An old video. A reminder.

Lesson 9 from #BethesdaDeclaration via @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social #NIH

Living under the threat of authoritarianism is demoralizing. And it is that way by design. Their goal is to flood the zone.

Resistance is not futile.

🧪We must be intentional about building defiant joy in our resistance.
