Dr. Timothy Johnson, longtime network TV medical reporter and founding editor of the Harvard Medical School Health Letter, says that by cutting more than $1.8 billion in grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Trump administration risks destroying U.S. medical research infrastructure and prompting a "brain drain" of scientists to other countries.

Hampton University air traffic professor weighs in on tragic DC crash
HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) —There are no clear answers on why that Black Hawk helicopter and American Airlines Flight 5342 collided Wednesday. The National Transportation Board won't have a preliminary report for at least 30 days, but one Hampton University professor said he expects the role of air traffic controllers to be reviewed closely. Midair collision kills 67 people in the deadliest US air disaster in almost a quarter century A career in air traffic control comes with duties that sometimes result in responding to tragedies like Wednesday's deadly plane crash near Reagan National Airport. 'Our job as the air traffic controller is protect the airspace that the planes are flying in,' said Timothy Johnson, Hampton University assistant professor and AT-CTI program manager. Hampton University has an air traffic controller degree program. Johnson started his career in 2003 and knows it's a fast paced environment. 'Making air traffic hard in general is just dealing with different types of aircrafts, different characteristics that the aircrafts do,' Johnson said. 'Aircrafts fly at different speeds depending on what they are dealing with, with multiple aircrafts and not a lot of airspace, and aircrafts can't stop in midair, right? So they're going to be flying constantly.' Johnson said it is common to see military helicopters training at night near civilian airports, and air traffic controllers are used to communicating to pilots for both aircrafts. President Donald Trump weighed in on the crash at a press conference Thursday morning, with comments on diversity, equity and inclusion and its alleged relation to the event. At the press conference, a reporter asked the president if there's a reason to think diversity had something to do with this crash. President Trump responded in part by saying, 'I have common sense, we want brilliant people doing this.' Johnson said all air traffic controllers are equipped to do the duties they are assigned. 'Becoming an air traffic controller, it's intense training,' Johnson said. Controllers have to do schooling at a certified university like Hampton, and then you have an additional two to four years of training at various facilities before being allowed to work on your own. There have been questions, though, surrounding staffing levels for that tower at DCA during last night's crash. This investigation into the cause of the crash could take many months to conclude.

Victoria's Secret shares sink 10% on CFO transition, narrowed Q4 guidance
-- Victoria's Secret&Co (NYSE:VSCO) updated its fourth-quarter forecast on Wednesday and appointed Scott Sekella as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) following Timothy Johnson's decision to retire in June 2025. Sekella previously held the CFO position at Joann, a fabric and crafts retailer. This appointment follows the earlier naming of Hillary Super as the new CEO in October. The company's shares plunged nearly 10% after the market opening bell. The move comes amid a turnaround phase for Victoria's Secret. Alongside the leadership change, the company has updated its fourth-quarter guidance, raising the lower end of its net sales, adjusted operating income, and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) expectations. Despite the current macroeconomic headwinds that may affect short-term top-line trends, Jefferies analysts maintain a positive outlook on VSCO's long-term potential. 'While we do not expect a linear recovery, we believe that VSCO's long-term opportunity remains unchanged and that the company is capable of restoring lost sales while recapturing margin,' analysts led by Corey Tarlowe said in a note. As such, the firm's analysts have left their estimates largely unchanged, positioning them at the high end of the company's updated guidance. Since Super's arrival, VSCO has seen positive signs such as increased foot traffic in October and November, a significant boost in social media engagement, and a slight uptick in web traffic in December. 'Looking ahead, we believe that the company is well-positioned to continue witnessing healthy data trends,' Jefferies analysts concluded. Following the guidance update, Victoria's Secret now expects its fourth-quarter adjusted operating income to be between $260 million and $270 million, compared to its previous range of $240 million to $270 million. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had estimated $266.5 million. The company projects net sales growth of 3% to 4% and revised its adjusted EPS forecast to $2.20 to $2.30, up from the prior range of $2.00 to $2.30. The consensus estimate stood at $2.27.
