The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers. This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

This is a very useful explainer on why the proposed cuts to incorrect costs on NIH grants will be so damaging. This won’t just hurt medical research, it will gut our universities. And yes, it is illegal to make a cut like this without approval of Congress.

Important piece from @jared-boyce.bsky.social, @faithdaniellemd.bsky.social and @azaallsop.bsky.social reflecting on how the way scientists credit each others' work leads to a severe lack of recognition. We must cite Black scientists more often. www.scientificamerican.com/article/nobe...

Big day! My first time #voting as a US citizen! A lot of people asked me why I became a citizen and didn’t just stay on a green card - and this was a big reason. I even got a mini round of applause for being a first-time voter!
