I wrote about #Fibromyalgia patients, who are often told the pain is all in their head, and the physician framing himself as one of their few true allies. A story of medical misogyny, contested illness, and the weird world of blood-test entrepreneurship. https://t.co/tsu8Dlfytt

Wrote about how fallopian tube removal has been replacing “tube-tying” — and how pathologists first found evidence that the most common form of ovarian cancer often begins in the tube. https://t.co/hr5d1PVN9Z

How could the Trump's admin's cuts to CDC affect Americans' health? @EricBoodman has a striking example. At least 6 of the authors on CDC's paper on how they pinpointed applesauce as the source of lead poisoning in 566 kids in 2023 have been fired. https://t.co/XrYQisNZK0

Lots of talk among the HHS & FDA leadership of potentially fewer people being offered #Covid boosters going forward. CDC’s vaccines advisory panel, ACIP, has been working on a risk-based plan for a while.

A laid-off CDC expert is offering free help to Milwaukee during its lead crisis. “As far as I know, it’s still a free country, and if you want to volunteer your time to help people in need, I don’t think that’s proscribed," he said. HHS isn't so sure. https://t.co/PX1s54P8VY

Adults who suspect they have autism and parents of autistic kids are cancelling diagnostic evaluations after federal officials announced a national autism registry. https://t.co/fSrju4qDoR

"In seeking to help him, did I just paint a giant target on his back?" Parents of autistic kids are asking clinicians to erase diagnoses out of fear of Trump administration's "autism registry" idea, @rosebroderick_ reports https://t.co/qVchJ6uwhf

"It's like someone ran over your child." A remarkable collection of portraits representing the current devastation to science. By @JonathanWosen, @MeganMolteni, Usha Lee McFarling, and @angRchen https://t.co/PU80t1Ey5Z

A top official in the Department of Labor this week informed all staff members that they could face criminal charges if they speak to journalists, former employees or others about agency business. Speaking to reporters is not a crime!

So honored to be a @UMWallaceHouse Livingston finalist for my series on coercive sterilizations of women with sickle cell, especially alongside Lev Facher, @emcahan, @emmabgo, and so many other journalists I admire. You can read those stories here: https://t.co/NKIVsqD8QB

So proud of @EricBoodman and Lev Facher @statnews, both finalists for excellence in national reporting for their "Coercive Care'' and "War on Recovery'' investigative projects https://t.co/U7FmfO0gzD

My amazing colleagues @statnews are tracking Makary's hearing today as Trump's nominee to lead the FDA. Worth following! https://t.co/SIPAoMJqDg

The most telling signal in Bhattacharya's confirmation hearing yesterday as NIH director nominee lay in what he would not say. Wrote about his faux naiveté and the tightrope he's walking to please Trump/RFK while also trying to telegraph credibility. https://t.co/HgVcuXPP9m
