The RAM in my computer helps solve biomedical problems. The RAM in his data center turns prompts into slop email and then summarizes the slop into bullet points. One of us is wasting valuable resources, and it ain’t me.

“beneath the surface, the system of federally funded science that helped make the United States a global superpower is…” being dismantled. Correct.
I said last week that RFK is destroying NIH and American biomedical science. It’s a Trump-administration-wide war on science.

Just appalling, and part of a pattern of the Trump administration purposely weakening or destroying pillars of strength for the country and the world.

Hey, there, I'm a gal with a PhD specializing in biomedical communications and trans science! This information is well-meant, clearly, and appropriate for other meds like Tylenol, but is not accurate for oral estradiol (honestly, most estradiols).
