Ludwig @stanford.edu Siddhartha Jaiswal spoke at #AACR2026 about his lab’s exploration of the drivers of clonal hematopoiesis—in which the descendants of certain mutated stem cells come to dominate the blood cell population—and the implications of the pre-malignant process for cancer.

@joyywu.bsky.social has a simple but powerful message for early-career investigators: choose your mentor not your project. "So often we think about selecting research projects based on a topic or field of interest, but great mentorship is priceless and lasts a lifetime.”

This is not just HHMI. All Chan Zuckerberg Initiative funding calls are CLOSED. The Gates Foundation has no Grand Challenges funding opportunities. I've never seen anything like this. Private foundations have just decided to stop supporting biomedical research.

The NIH budget will INCREASE by $400 million — not slashed by 40%, as Trump proposed — according to a proposal by Senate appropriators, says Sen Murray. "Some have asked if there will even be an NIH by [2029]. The commmittee's resounding message is yes—Congress has your back", she says.
