We’ll be discussing how the research and public health community are responding to the Trump administration’s attach on grant funding, and its attempt to meddle in higher education, including medical school accreditation. We’ll also be taking your questions.

Here’s the link and see you soon!
What is the best way (or even good ways) to have medical professionals take you seriously if you are female and/or older? Being dismissed or minimized is more noticeable as I age.
Is there any effective way to pushback against the anti vaccine behavior of Marty Markary’s FDA? At this point it’s unlikely that Novavax will be approved and updated mRNA COVID vaccines are unlikely to be approved as well.
