If you're at ECS, I have two talks this week. Come say hi. #ECSMontreal #ECS247

“These cuts are the height of self-inflicted harm,”

⛔️ UPDATE: We obtained the full list of NIH terminations at Harvard. Lowlights: - 659 total grants at Harvard in the NIH-created list - $2.19 billion in total award value - $960 million in award remaining You can view them all using the "Harvard" tab on the airtable grant-watch.us/nih-data.html

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

85% of children diagnosed with cancer are alive at least 5 years later. Just a few years ago, childhood cancer had a horrible prognosis. These advance were made by universities. Yet, government has terminated terminating billions worth of competitive grants that will stop cold these advances.

NIH laying off hundreds more staff, including the cancer research institute. The US is now a country in full self-harm mode. www.cbsnews.com/news/nih-lay...

We have updated our database of funding opportunities for Early-Career Researchers (private foundations, federal, international) We have 456 entries, for which we provide $ amount, deadline, eligibility criteria, etc. Download this massive database here for free: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

Important message. Also important to remember that federal funding for science isn’t “given” to university laboratories - it is awarded based on highly competitive process, profs spend months/years on proposals that are reviewed by experts, most are rejected. www.young.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Devasting that clinical trial for Jim's PediaFlow baby heart pump is on hold due the stop on all DOD funding at Cornell. Funded by DOD CDMRP, Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs, yet White House stopped Congress funds #ResearchSavesLives #Standup4Science youtu.be/a7aUBvBcPV4

Download and distribute our (massive) database of funding opportunities and fellowships for POSTDOCs Cuts across all fields of research. 293 fellowships with info about deadline, amount, field, eligibility, etc. Good luck! Download this database freely here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

188 PhD/graduate fellowships from private foundations, federal agencies and international organizations. Database can be downloaded here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

The time is now for your voice to be loud and clear. Congress must defend science.

🚨 AIMBE is calling on the biomedical research community to take a minute to send our 3 new advocacy letters urging Congress to: 1. Protect the STEM Training Pipeline (e.g., NIH MOSAIC, T32s, MARC, etc.) 2. Oppose Indirect Cost Caps 3. Support Research Funding in FY2026 aimbe.org/advocate/wri...

The pact of the federal govt with universities was not a handout. It was a strategic decision to boost US leadership in technology, defense, and health. And it paid dividends. In tech, internet, in cancer drugs (for example), No other sector has invested in high risk high reward ideas like US govt.

This is a great 60 Minutes piece on the impact of NIH cuts on patients including those with Alzheimer’s. Great job by Kristin Weinstein from University of Washington highlighting the impacts on students (9:00). @uwmedicine.bsky.social www.cbsnews.com/news/scienti...

The National Institutes of Health, the largest funder of biomedical research in the world, has fired 1,300 employees and cancelled more than $2 billion in federal research grants. https://cbsn.ws/4daiCrv

We just announced the PIVOT and BRIDGE award funds, as well as enhanced university services to help researchers at Hopkins in these difficult times. On and forward! Read about these here: research.jhu.edu/jhu-research...

Federal research funding flows to all 50 states and is a critical part of the economy in many college towns around the US. Federal research funding "has now become one of the few drivers of innovation that is widely distributed across the country". www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

75% of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cases are in kids under 6. 1960s: ALL survival was 10%. Today: Survival is over 90%. That’s because of chemotherapy. Not supplements, “detoxes,” juice, or wellness bullshit. Chemotherapy saves lives. Misinformation kills. Read more in Immunologic ⬇️

Testicular cancer was fatal in ~95% of cases before cisplatin was developed in the 1970s. Today, survival exceeds 95%, even when cancer has metastasized. That’s thanks to: Chemotherapies Scientific research Biopharmaceutical therapies Evidence-based medicine 1/

The Spencer Foundation is offering rapid response bridge funding for those who lost NSF research grants. www.spencer.org/grant_types/...

President Donald Trump’s administration appears to be killing much, if not all, of a historic initiative that was the first, and is still the largest, National Institutes of Health effort centered on the health needs of women. scim.ag/4jLeLTJ

The power of NIH funded research. @deniswirtz.bsky.social hub.jhu.edu/2025/04/22/n...

NEW: A coalition of students from more than 15 law schools across the country have signed a pledge not to work for any firm that “gives in to Trump administration demands…” Signatories include students from Harvard, Georgetown, University of Chicago, UT-Austin… docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Although we are not federally funded for this summer, WE WILL STILL RUN The National Summer Undergraduate Research Project (NSURP) in 2025. We remain committed to the work that needs to be done and will continue to meet people where they are. 1/4 nsurp.org

This is what fascism looks like: Attorney General Bondi threatening judges she claims are not cooperating with Trump immigration policies and saying “we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you.”

Just want to remind everyone today that the DoD just slashed a huge mechanism for cancer research funding: now this science won’t get done. Cuts below with other sources linked in the comment www.fightcancer.org/sites/defaul...

I don’t think the country understands the nuclear bomb that has hit and destroyed Americas future. Our competitiveness globally was threatened - it is now guaranteed to dwindle to irrelevance. The future is based on science and technology. By the time they realize the damage, it will be too late. AR

Princeton has announced that it is considering selling approximately $320 million of taxable bonds. The bonds are a way for the University to raise short-term funds. The major credit-rating agencies rate University bonds AAA, the highest level of creditworthiness.

The Office for Civil Rights has requested the names & nat'lities of students & faculty..involved in alleged Title VI violations. Today, the AAUP wrote to college & universities to clarify that they are under NO LEGAL COMPULSION to comply. Doing so enables deportations. www.aaup.org/news/institu...

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

I am somehow for the first time ever reviewing for PNAS and their reviewer instructions include this BANGER of a line: "The purpose of peer review is not to demonstrate proficiency in identifying flaws" Print it in eleventy point font and hang it from the hillside. Scream it from the rooftops.

‘With the current turmoil, China could surpass the U.S. in the near future,’ Nobel Prize winner David Baker warns www.wsj.com/articles/bio...

We’re thrilled to be going to the APS Global Physics Summit this week in Anaheim! Don’t miss our talks by PhD student Diya and Prof. Heilshorn on biomaterials for 3D bioprinting and tissue modeling. 🙌 #APSSummit25 @apsphysics.bsky.social

"If science is to honour one of its core values — a commitment to the truth wherever it might lead — scientists must stand up when DEI matters" www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Many families including mine have been impacted by Alzheimer's disease. NIH funding delays and cuts could set research back by decades, including key funding for Alzheimers's disease research centers across the US. Almost half of these centers are up for renewal now! www.kuow.org/stories/how-...

AIMBE's Annual Event on March 29-31, 2025 is especially important. With a new Congress and presidential administration, it's a timely opportunity to engage in science policy post-election. Fellows, register now and we will arrange your congressional visits for you: annualevent.aimbe.org #AIMBE2025

Statement from the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) about the federal science funding crisis. www.bmes.org/news/bmes-ca...

Any speculation why big pharma and biotech industries have been so quiet about the current defunding of biomedical research? (which also means the defunding of biomedical research training)

🧪🚨 NSF's Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) has halted making nearly all new awards since inauguration day. Among *many* other things, EDU runs the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). We need to protect the education & training of the next gen of scientists #StandUpForScience Thread👇🧵

Make use of our public database of Postdoc fellowships (private foundations, federal agencies). It's downloadable and free.
