“Out Of His Depth,” “Sold His Soul,” “Clueless”: #NIH Staffers Speak Out About Director #Bhattacharya
Important Context spoke with a dozen people working at the agency in various roles & institutes….All painted a grim picture of an institution plagued by #chaos, unclear leadership…, #mismanagement, & widespread fear & demoralization due to capricious rule changes, restrictions, & #research cuts.
One man they blamed? #JayBhattacharya.

Important Context · “Out Of His Depth,” “Sold His Soul,” “Clueless”: NIH Staffers Speak Out About Director BhattacharyaBy Walker Bragman
Continued thread

Update. "Accelerating Access to Research Results: New Implementation Date for the 2024 #NIH Public Access Policy"
nih.gov/about-nih/who-we-are/n

"I am excited to announce that one of my first actions as NIH Director is pushing the accelerator on policies to make NIH research findings freely and quickly available to the public. The 2024 Public Access Policy, originally slated to go into effect on December 31, 2025, will now be effective as of July 1, 2025."

PS: This announcement is from the Trump-appointed NIH director, #JayBhattacharya. It's another sign that Trump has not revoked or weakened the #OSTP #NelsonMemo, despite other attacks on research, including #takedowns of #OpenAccess texts and data. At the NIH, the largest funding agency, implementation of the Nelson memo is even speeding up.

EDIT. Another NIH reaffirmation of its NelsonMemo OA policy. From Lyric Jorgenson, NIH Ass Director for Science Policy, April 30, 2025: "We revised our Public Access Policy to eliminate the embargo period so that researchers, students, and members of the public have rapid access to these findings. NIH leadership believes strongly that transparency in all we do is critical and that we should not waste a moment in fulfilling our promise to the public."

This is really good. I love that #JayBhattacharya says that the people who pushed to censor him over his disagreement with the consensus over #COVID policy, thought they were doing the right thing. Doing good. Saving lives. I wish we were a culture that cared more about discussing this hard civic stuff than holding tight to comfortable and simple beliefs, virtue signaling and entertainment.

Pocket CastsJay Bhattacharya Was “Dangerous.” Now He Leads NIH. - Honestly with Bari WeissThe most interesting conversations in American life happen in private. This show brings them out of the closet. Stories no one else is telling and conversations with the most fascinating people in the country, every week from The Free Press, hosted by former New York Times and Wall Street Journal journalist Bari Weiss.

The _Journal of the Academy of Public Health_ is a new OA journal.
publichealth.realclearjournals

Its inaugural editorial contains a familiar litany of objections to traditional journal publishing.
publichealth.realclearjournals

One co-founder of the journal is #JayBhattacharya — Donald #Trump's nominee to run the #NIH.

If that suggests a particular take on health and medicine, it should. For details on the "COVID contrarian" orientation of the journal, see:

1. @KristinaFiore's article in MedPage Today

2. @ct_bergstrom's thread in Bluesky

On the one hand, the #NIH will pay for #replication studies. On the other hand, (1) researchers must nominate their studies for replication and few are interested, and (2) the replication studies will NOT be #OpenAccess, contradicting the pioneering NIH principle to provide public access to publicly-funded research.

(#paywalled)

On the one hand, this is happening under the #Biden admin NIH. On the other, it has the support of #Trump's nominee to head the NIH, #JayBhattacharya.

@openscience

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday chose Stanford academic and U.S. COVID policy critic Jay Bhattacharya to run the National Institutes of Health, the country's top public funder of medical research with a budget of some $47.3 billion. The NIH has been in the crosshairs of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the NIH. #us #usa #news #minimarketonlineltd #trump #donaldtrump #RobertFKennedyJr #JayBhattacharya

" told Byline Times that former investment banker #AlexanderCaccia, ... a ‘bio-inspired engineering company’ funded by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) – wrote the Declaration at the meeting on 3 October hosted by the libertarian think-tank, the American Institute for Economic Research (#AIER)...

#Caccia is the partner to ... Oxford epidemiologist ... #SunetraGupta, to whom the #GBD has been attributed alongside ... #Kulldorff of Harvard ... and ... #JayBhattacharya."

Unsettling.
