🌟 In a month, the Hegde Laboratory opens at @einsteinmededu.bsky.social . While this marks the culmination of more than a decade of collaborative research with exceptional mentorship, it also represents an exciting new chapter in our collective quest for the development of next-gen myeloid drugs.

What does the new OMB proposal mean for science? How can we STOP VOUGHT and SAVE SCIENCE together? All of these questions and more to be discussed at the Emergency Science Meeting on June 2nd, 4PM ET, hosted by Stand Up for Science! Register at the link in our bio, or go here: zurl.co/oCIDw #OMB

"The plan is to kill off publicly funded academic science in this country." Correct. And that means killing off the whole US science and innovation industry. Because it's all built on a foundation of basic research—which. can. only. be. funded. by. public. dollars.

Yea this is the endgame.

Seriously, this webinar is going to be amazing. Anyone is welcome to attend, please share widely!

Scoop: NSF has been quietly blocking new funds and grants to four top universities: Duke, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. Dozens of proposals from PIs at these universities—and their collaborators—have been stuck at the Office of Award Management awaiting finalization for months.

The research that led to this miracle drug started more than five decades (!) ago. Basic science research has massive payoffs but they are often very long-term. As a society, we invest in basic research for our kids and grandkids.

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”

The abrupt termination last year of thousands of research grants by the US NIH didn’t affect all groups of scientists equitably. A survey suggests that it disproportionately hit researchers from under-represented groups. go.nature.com/4tffr8c

NYC is a union town 💪🏽 #MayDay @spocuaw.bsky.social @rocsuaw.bsky.social @uawregion9a.bsky.social

This is ridiculous, you guys. No other sector wishes to have goodwill from the public while also NOT FIGHTING FOR THEMSELVES. This hubris is what bad actors exploited to get us into our current mess. IT IS TIME TO PAY YOUR SCIENCE ACTIVISM TAXES. 24 hours of civil service a year—minimum.

We need to prevent the loss of 150k jobs & $35B economy by stopping a top-line budget cut. We ALSO need to stop similar losses via: 1) Sneaky budget tricks like multiyear funding 2) Death by paperwork via the screening/renegotiation process and...

Upshot: 🟢 JB says scientist training is his #1 priority. 🔴 Yet, this fiscal year so far, training-related grants are down over 80% from expected levels. Guys, you can’t do science without scientists. JB gets an F (but not an F grant... ba-dum-tss) More funding curves at Grant Witness:

I was preparing for a talk I gave last evening to a lay audience and came up with this graphic to explain multi-year funding and why it leads to fewer competitive awards and funding investigators and projects. 6/8

Believe them when they tell you what they believe in.

This confirms my observations!! Single cell technology really helps! #orangecat #genius

How to disincentivize the already tired/frustrated reviewer pool further… Will do nothing but reduce quality and continuity of study sections.

Had a great Northern NYC Heme club intro @newyorkbloodcenter.bsky.social ! Great talks across the spectrum of Heme cancer biology, Clonal hematopoiesis, blood cell development from new colleagues across NY :) @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social @cdi-einstein.bsky.social @einsteincellbio.bsky.social

ALRIGHT TEAM! It’s time to spread this far and wide. This is for parents with young kids, disabled folks, people who have to work, those in the hospital, seniors in nursing homes, our friends in rural places! We believe in science, health, and democracy for EVERYONE!

This plot from @drugmonkey.bsky.social shows how the number of *new* NIH fellowships to Black investigators plummeted last year. And it's only half the story. The other half is that *existing* fellowship grants to POC investigators were also *terminated* at disproportionate rates.

This Russell Vought, trying to usurp the power of the purse. Congress and the people have made it abundantly clear that they want to fund science. But Vought keeps trying to steal those funds. www.science.org/content/arti...

we are losing so much talent, progress, and hope for no good reason www.vox.com/future-perfe...

it feels like decades since the first Stand auto for Science protests ahead of this year’s protests tomorrow, I caught up with @cdelawalla.bsky.social to talk about what @standupforscience.bsky.social sees as its strategy as a fully formed organization www.statnews.com/2026/03/06/s...

In just 3 days, the Take Back our Science Rally hits the streets in Washington DC and all across the country! Join at local rally, or if nothing's nearby, start your own pop-up rally. Details at zurl.co/BlOzn  #science #standupforscience #rally #March7 #FunScienceFact (1/2)

New Yorkers, let your state senator + legislator know you want to support science research at NYS-level to protect other New Yorkers, grow our economy, and create jobs. *Every call/email matters!* Follow @fundnyscience.bsky.social @nycures.bsky.social for how-to 🔬🥼💲

Heartened to see complementary action @nycures.bsky.social @uawregion9a.bsky.social @spocuaw.bsky.social @rocsuaw.bsky.social driving “bolstering biotech initiative” in NYS for FY26. We need to fight together for rational sustainable research funding given threats/cuts. #science #BBI #NYS

The impact is already hitting science agencies hard. The NIH—the world's largest public biomedical research funder—has had to rely on leftover stopgap funds. New grant awards have slowed to a trickle — exacerbating the effects of a record-long shutdown in October. (h/t @jeremymberg.bsky.social)

Wrapping up #KSMyeloid26, enjoyed @tfabre.bsky.social rigorous + rational approach to classifying and targeting myeloid cells in fibrotic diseases. Look forward eagerly to testing their M.A.C.S approach built on scLAVI @mmschaefer.bsky.social

The fight for American science is real and it requires resources. If you can, please help fuel the fight with a donation at standupforscience.net/donate Thank you! #standupforscience #science #donate #savescience #March7

Excellent short talks now #KSHemato26. First, Sara Tomei @shalinhnaik.bsky.social describing how HaemaTONIC-enabled marker discovery reveals CD200 as a distinguisher for erythroid-biased vs multipotent hu HSCs! V useful as folks design selection strategies clinically. @keystonesymposia.bsky.social

Final day of #KSMyeloid26 ! Really enjoyed @bainlab.bsky.social talk on RTM repopulation dynamics post-infection. Notable, their work underscores that monocyte replenishment of AM niche (clodr) is sufficient (not Ag from prior infection) for protection. "Monocyte legacy, not training !"

Afternoon session full of great talk at #KSMyeloid26. First, Zimmerman lab (Oklahoma) walks us through the complex and surprisingly non-canonical behavior of renal macs, specifically how Trem2hi macs dictate PKD phenotypes. @keystonesymposia.bsky.social

Day 2 at @KeystoneSymp kicked off by @charlottelscott.bsky.social on liver Mac biology in the context of MASLD and HCC progression. Excellent work showing how little we still understand about Kupffer cells, and how fibrosis is uncoupled from KC activation in the liver. #KSHemato26 #KSMyeloid26

Great short talks followed by session on 'Myeloid cells in Tumors'. Started off by @arielmunitz.bsky.social with very cool provocative data of STAT3 signaling driving tumor eosinophil-CD8 T cell interaction in lung mets. #KSMyeloid26

Great kick-off to the conference by @florentginhoux.bsky.social covering diet-dependent regulation of resident tissue macs as well as developmental + functional heterogeneity of tumoral macs ! #KSHemato26 #KSMyeloid26

Now that data is out (which still doesn’t capture the whole picture), can you please stop telling ESI’s, etc. not to worry about grants because there haven’t really been any major changes? Please and thank you.

We are urging legislators to expand state funding for biomedical research and support early career researchers. Get involved: docs.google.com/forms/d/10Yy...

Enroute to Keystone for @keystonesymposia.bsky.social (become a ritual now) on Myeloid cell immunology and Hematopoiesis🩸Excited to meet peers and discuss our latest work on tumor-associated myelopoiesis ! If you’re also attending, come say hi ! 🏔️👨🏾‍🔬 #KSMyeloid26 #KSHemato26 #Immunology #Newlab

"The source of young researchers – the next generation of scientists who are the fount of new ideas and innovation – is being throttled." Great story by @edpilkington.bsky.social on some of the problems early career researchers are facing in the United States.

We are so excited to be taking March 7th, NATIONAL again! Unfortunately, activism costs money and as a new organization that operates on primarily grassroots funding, we need YOUR support! www.standupforscience.net/donate #standupforscience #takebackourscience

One of the best, most articulate, depiction of life in America these days for millions. Very much in the same vein as “the invisible child”, which should tell you how impactful this work will be..
