Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

🚨This week, many Columbia scientists lost grants that funded over half their annual income. Others will no longer be able to do research that helps treat thousands of sick patients across the US. "It hurts," they told me. My story for @nature.com 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

On a @serailway.bsky.social train, watching some very upset fellow commuters being fined for having the ‘wrong’ ticket or for having waited until the staff member selling tickets had reached them, I am reminded of my friend Nando and his genius “fun budget” (or Spaß budget, in German) 1/n

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

🎉 bioRxiv & medRxiv are now managed by openRxiv, a new independent nonprofit. This transition allows for more flexibility and innovation. Our mission remains being a free service to authors ensuring rapid sharing of scientific information before peer review. ℹ️ openrxiv.org/introducing-...

5 years ago today, the @who.int declared COVID-19 a pandemic. A day earlier, unbeknownst to me then, was my last day in the office for 2 years. I remember looking for the @naturerevmicro.bsky.social editors and realizing not a single one of them had come in... Smart move, @hoferu.bsky.social!

How do we capture discrepancies between the biology of human tissues and experimental models? And what can we do to reduce this "translational distance"? A multiscale systems biology framework can be used to study disease mechanisms at a given spatiotemporal scale.

Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78) I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine 1/n
