In today's D.C. Diagnosis newsletter: a rundown of the GOP's stopgap government funding bill and why former NIH director Francis Collins has hired security.

The article from STAT News discusses how Francis Collins, the former director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has become a focal point for Republican criticism in the context of a government funding bill.

The contention around Collins highlights the ongoing political battle over science funding, where scientific research is increasingly becoming a partisan issue.
