America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

The current administration’s narrative that Harvard (and all universities) feel “entitled” to federal dollars misleads the public. Nor are these funds a “privilege” 1/n

ACTION ITEM-----ACTION ITEM Implementation of Schedule F This is what a lot of us have been worried about. This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs. BUT THERE IS A COMMENT PERIOD... 1/n

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

This is incredibly cool: if you search for a condition that’s affected your family, the site returns stats on how much NIH has done for that disease, and a contact form for reaching out to tell your Members of Congress why you want to see them defend NIH. Pass it on!

Actually, flip the headline. It's really "How the Federal Government Became so Dependent on Universities." These competitively awarded, peer reviewed research grants produce tremendous returns on investment. New tech, health, science that benefit all people & businesses in the USA & world.

An important point getting overlooked: When NIH cancels "diversity" grants (e.g., diversity supplements, Fs, Ks, etc), they aren't canceling the grants based on what the grant studies. They're cancelling them based on who is doing the research. And that disallowed "who" is anyone not white.

CURES NOT CUTS ✨ Did you know? The cost of just four fighter jets funds life-saving medical research for 300,000 scientists across 2,500+ institutions. Let’s invest in cures, not but funds to the #NIH. Share if you agree! #CuresNotCUTS #FundScience #InvestInHealth #NIH #standupforscience

You cannot negotiate with terrorists. If the Ivies give in to any regime demands, the goal posts will move. If the massive ivy endowments aren’t deployed to preserve institutional integrity and academic freedom, what on earth are they for?

Amid chaos, some joy. Proud to share this study from @regen-bio-cie.bsky.social (Sergio Campos) surveying regeneration in diverse Hydra species, showing that Hydra oligactis lost foot regeneration ability, which can be rescued by a Wnt signaling pulse during injury. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

On Valentine’s day, 15 Assistant Professors at NIH who had started their research labs in the last 2 years were fired. Their scientific expertise was built over 10-12 years of training, most if not all of which was supported by NIH. The start up funds for their laboratories were paid by NIH

Somebody just made me aware of the tweet by that person. Students who see this: taking time off work to advocate for science peacefully at the state capitol is NOT participating in an illegal protest. Full stop.
