Prof. Barres was one of my neuroscience professors at Stanford while Bhattacharya was year behind me in med school/grad school.

Here is Carolyn starting her talk.
Note the NIGMS logo on the left top of the slide. We developed this when I was NIGMS Director and I loved it. Shortly after I left, NIH made institutes use uniform logos to improve NIH's brand recognition.

I got the response yesterday...
Narrator: This thank you note is wrong in that Barres did not attend Stanford at all (MIT, Dartmouth, Harvard), but was on the Stanford faculty at the same time as Bhattacharya.

Absolutely easy to do. I will try to post a spreadsheet on my dashboard as soon as I can.

UPDATE ON NON-COMPETITIVE RENEWALS
Since I always want to get the facts right, I checked NIH Reporter this morning.
Part of the issue was unusually slow uploading of data to NIH Reporter (more NIH dysfunction, just different).
Better, but still fewer than half of the awards due in May were made.

Please sign on and add your voice in calling for an NIH that prioritizes the safety of research participants and public health over political momentum.

The YouTube/CNN closed-captioning system has this all figured out.
We have a candidate for a good slogan for the #BethesdaDeclaration

President Donald Kennedy of Stanford (no relation that I know of) resigned over this.
He later became head of the FDA and Editor-in-Chief at Science magazine.

His job is to defend the budget, not to lecture Senators about how the enacted budget will be the product of a negotiation between the administration and Congress..

Also, his job is to defend the President's budget.
I know, I did it 7 or 8 times, sometimes with budgets (from both GW Bush and Obama) that I thought were inadequate (both nothing close to this fiasco).

The IDeA program is a good program that has had a substantial impact in several states.
But they are not funding it, I believe because the NOFOs have language that say they should support research helping "underserved communities"

I ran the numbers for the IDeA program
Through June: FY2024 $179.4 M, FY2025 $39.5 M.
This is 4.5-fold less under his administration.

Bhattacharya kept mentioning his support for the IDeA program (although he called it the IDEAs program) support.
This program supports research in states that historically have not received NIH funding.
