Francis Collins
Francis Collins: 我在NIH工作多年，经历了多届政府，但从未见过科学受到如此猛烈的攻击。新政府上任后，NIH立即面临各种限制，包括禁止启动新项目、解雇员工、限制研究课题和言论自由。这些措施让我感到无法胜任工作，最终选择辞职。我认为，NIH的预算削减和审查制度将对未来的医学突破和患者的治疗产生负面影响，甚至危及生命。我希望通过我的辞职，能够引起人们对这些问题的关注，并促使政府重新重视科学研究。
Deep Dive
Former NIH director Francis Collins recounts the abrupt shift in the agency's environment following the inauguration of the new administration. He details the immediate implementation of restrictions on new projects, mass firings, communication gag orders, and a series of increasingly absurd and cruel directives. The cumulative impact led to his resignation.
- Restrictions on new projects and existing research
- Mass firings of over a thousand employees
- Communication gag orders preventing scientists from speaking publicly
- Intentional creation of a hostile work environment through unreasonable restrictions
