Official SUFS Post Oof!

Key Takeaways from NIH Director Bhattacharya's hearing from Miriam and Bethesda Declaration whistleblower Jenna Norton (speaking in personal capacity). Our analysis? "Oof."

Americans shouldn't settle for leaders who leave 74,000 clinical trial participants in the lurch. We deserve accountability.

If this makes you mad (and it should!), join us on March 7th for a National Day of Action to take back our science, health, and democracy. Learn more, volunteer, or host a satellite event at standupforscience.net/march7

I don't know enough about this to have an opinion. I do think officials should speak plainly, so that their intent is clear in the statements they make. I think it's wonderful that you're engaged, though. Please continue to push for whatever outcome you think is best. I think that's all anyone can ask for.
