It is worth paying close attention to the new bill "Dangerous Viral Gain of Function Research Moratorium Act" introduced by Senator Roger Marshall. If enacted, it will effectively stop all of virological research, including for vaccines. www.marshall.senate.gov/wp-content/u... 🧵👇

The temporary block to the IDC cuts has been extended… although de facto NIH funding is paralyzed due to freezing the federal registry - @schiff.senate.gov what is the plan here?

First: I apologize for never coming here and now doing so only to brag 😬 Second: I am very proud of the people in our lab. We are a small group in a Bio department and this work took an enormous amount of effort from every one here. rdcu.be/eaxEz

I've been developing a semantic search tool that covers not just bioRxiv and medRxiv, but the entire PubMed database. This means you can search across a massive collection of biomedical research using keywords, questions, hypotheses, or even full abstracts. Try it out: mssearch.xyz

I’ve been seething and grieving since yesterday’s Friday Night Massacre of NIH overheads, a seeming bit of bureaucratic trivial that will in fact destroy the US university system if unchecked. But I want to get away from budgets and rate breakdowns and F&A percentages for a moment. Humor me?
