This is a great website that allows you to view the ROI on your tax dollars invested in NIH funded research. You can type in a disease condition and immediately see the impact of research funding on it. Also links to easy ways to contact law makers to protect science. www.ourhealthroi.com

The university refused to make changes it said would "dictate what private universities can teach" and "whom they can admit and hire," among other things.

Study section tracking sheet update of the day answers your burning question: Is my study section rescheduled? I've rearranged to put sections that didn't meet on the left and added a column noting if it's been rescheduled. Subject to change as FRNs go out! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I'm very pleased to have two lab positions open this week, to join our team looking at immune regulation in infection and co-infection. We're especially interested in tissue-based immunity, cytokine regulation and immune metabolism. Join us! Postdoc (3y) and research technician (12mo) posts open.
