This won't just affect the US. This is terrible news for biomedical research as a whole, the staff and students and all the people who would benefit from their work. It's insane

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

I can't even. Never in my life did I imagine we would witness such utter contemptuous behavior from the leaders of the most powerful country in the world. Absolutely disgraceful. And exceptionally emblematic of how utterly misguided we are as a country. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

I guess it’s about time I introduced myself here! I am Rob Moon, a molecular parasitologist working at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in the UK. I work on lots of aspects of malaria parasite biology but particularly how the parasites get inside red blood cells (invasion).
