Our 29th annual conference on autism is happening soon! www.eventbrite.com/e/29th-annua...

Trans… genic. Trans.. genic. Trans. genic. Trans.genic. Transgenic is the word and concept you are looking for.

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

The state of the union is that the President is spitting in the face of the law. He is letting an unelected billionaire fire cancer researchers and wreck federal agencies like the Social Security Administration at will. I won't be attending tomorrow's Joint Address.

Ryan Cooper is one of the few people in journalism to actually convey the scale of what Elon and the Muskjugend are doing, which may be the crime of the century. Please read and share this article.

TIL the voucher program incentivising drug development for rare pediatric diseases wasn’t extended in December. It's considered a highly successful incentive for the development of lifesaving treatments for rare diseases, which are otherwise neglected.

Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

NOAA Cuts Leave Wind Chimes As Sole Predictor Of Approaching Hurricanes

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Rep Tom Suozzi: “Very simple. Putin is a dictator. Zelenskyy is not.” What’s so hard to understand about that?

Great article about indirect costs. simplystatistics.org/posts/2025-0...

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine.

Very sad to see that #RareDiseaseDay event at FDA-NIH has been cancelled. Cuts that limit rare disease research and cures (1) leave patients behind, and (2) forfeit precious opportunity to learn more about common human diseases. udnf.org/udnf-stateme...

Show your stripes for rare diseases. Today is National Rare Disease Day.

Researchers that review grants for the NIH or have grants that were to be reviewed have discovered that a procedural tool has been used to block the review of all grants even after the 'freeze' was reversed. This is explained clearly in the following article - www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

“We’ve shown there is no cat,” Buxbaum says, “and that’s not a bad thing.” My name is Joseph Buxbaum and I endorse this message!

And here it is: "The MNG meeting scheduled for February 20-21, 2025, will be rescheduled for a later date, yet to be determined. I have disabled your access to this meeting in IAR." @jeremymberg.bsky.social @vscooper.micropopbio.org @metabodave.bsky.social

For 23 years, NIH grants could be tagged as autism research, helping track and coordinate funding. That mechanism has now quietly expired—no notice, no announcement. A junior faculty member discovered it when submitting her first autism grant. Whether oversight or intent, it’s gone.

“Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.” Albert Camus

What my colleagues & I do—advancing autism research & care—is under attack. Disability is a justice, equity, diversity & inclusion issue. Ensuring access to diagnosis, research & treatment isn’t just ethical—it’s essential. If DEI offends, consider this: equity in care lowers societal costs. #JEDI

Johns Hopkins officials said the NIH funding cut puts at risk approximately 600 current and ongoing clinical trials at Hopkins, including open clinical trials in cancer, pediatrics and children’s health, heart and vascular studies and the aging brain. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/hi...

The pages that are set to be revived include information for patients about HIV testing and HIV prevention medication, guidance on contraceptives and data on adolescent and youth mental health.

Twenty two states sue to block NIH cuts storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NYGC is organizing a number of efforts to address the changes to NIH IDCs and other changes to federal policy. If you are a US citizen, or in the US working in science, please consider signing this petition. The more signatures the stronger our hand in interacting with law makers. chng.it/kK2HMP5pGk

Yes. “People are doing things. You will meet them when YOU start doing things.” Lots of information and resources in this one. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Dedicated researchers are studying autism across the world to better understand the clinical and etiological dimensions of ASD across ancestral and admixed populations. The first large study by the GALA consortium, of autism in Latin Americans, is now online - www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy Soyal

“Chag Urim Sameach!” ie, “Happy Festival of Lights.” Ie, “Happy Yule, Saturnalia, St Lucia’s, Toji, Dong Zhi, Soyal, Shalako, Inti Raymi (yes I am off by 6 months), Shab-e Yalda, and Diwali, Kwanzaa, Chanukah, Christmas, and many other holidays,” you pagan sun worshipers. Happy Festivus to all!

In honor of Bodhi Day, the day Buddhists celebrate the enlightenment of Shakyamuni Buddha, I am re-committing to the Bodhisattvas path.

Was thinking about getting a Neuralink implanted. But not so sure anymore. 😀 www.roadandtrack.com/news/a629191...
