Local traditional media still works! We shot this interview on the grounds of the former J&L steel mill, where buildings including my lab are today. The threat to biomedical research in Pittsburgh is on par with the threat to the mills 50 years ago. www.wtae.com/article/pitt...

Never heard of Matthew Memoli? Until recently, I hadn't either. But he's the acting director behind the ongoing illegal shutdown at NIH. This Atlantic story gets into the weeds to explain why everything is still jammed up.

Freeze meetings -> reviews stop Reviews stop -> no scores No scores -> no recommendations No recommendations -> no awards No awards -> no $ No $ -> job & career loss, projects halted, lost discovery/cures/innovation + more We have a narrow window before the science supply chain grinds to a halt.

Not sure how many realize that NIH funding is still frozen. This article details an almost complete dropoff (97%) in NIH funding between Feb3-10 this year and last. Our institution's numbers are consistent with those cited here. If yours are as well, please share! popular.info/p/trump-main...
