- In an interview with @science.org on Monday, Bhattacharya evaded accountability for what is happening at NIH and claimed,“in the month I’ve been here, I think things have turned around pretty significantly”...
- …On the contrary, in the past month, critical NIH facilities received stop work orders, 2200 contractors were terminated, a second round of RIFs hit, and the funding cuts continued.
- In another misleading exchange, Bhattacharya dismissed a Nature news article reporting that NIH planned to suspend subawards for foreign collaborations as “rumors.” Hours later he released a policy confirming said “rumors.”
