Dr. Dawson, I'm so sorry that this has happened to you. A similar thing happened to me in the education field so I can empathize with you. To be doing the work, to know it's importance, then not having anyone ask you about it prior to shutting it down, is difficult to accept. And it might take a long time to accept it. I wish you luck.
Perhaps you can begin a study on why so many people can look at the same thing (like what's going on with you) but see it so differently. I can't understand why there isn't a bigger outcry over so many things going on in the world. I recommend the free 5 call app to contact our legislators. How appropriate that today you can find info on Fighting Censorship of Academic Research!
I am so so sorry, Becky! Having helped rural communities with CHNA implementation strategies, I know first hand the impact Public Health has on these communities. The insanity has to stop - as you know, we cannot wait 4 years for the destruction to be undone. This hits directly with my son, David, and his boyfriend, Noah. Stay strong, my friend.
Oh Becky .... it just keeps getting closer and closer to home and as you say it hits differently. Our only choices are to speak out (as you are doing so graciously) and to dig deep to connect to the roots of resilience and forge new pathways ... and to focus on ending this nightmare we find ourselves in.

Becky,
This is horrific and I am so sorry for your team and you. It is a tragic loss for our nation when
science is disrespected and ignorance applauded. I am glad to read that you have other projects to develop. Discouraging is an understatement .

Thanks, Becky.
