Anyone that has been around a lab knows that the trainees really drive the research, while most professors just sort of guide the ship. Most innovation comes from our trainees. Old professors like me will be able to survive these cuts, but our young scientists and our future will be destroyed.

New story up in Nature from @maxkozlov.bsky.social NIH killed grants on orders from Elon Musk’s DOGE Court documents and internal correspondence show the cost-cutting force has broad control over the world’s largest public biomedical funder. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

👏👏👏

All the gratitude -- - to scientists who've reported their grants to grant-watch.us. Your willingness to share matters & has made a difference. - to @aniloza.bsky.social for this article and many others that document the destruction of American science. - to @noamross.net as the perfect teammate.

Great article with lots of perspectives from scientists who are scared to speak out — and other scientists who are scared of what will happen if they don't. Trump & Musk & Kennedy are devastating U.S. research and setting progress back decades www.science.org/content/arti... on @science.org

“This no longer feels like the right place to raise a family and pursue a research career“ We spoke to five US-based researchers who are seeking, or moving to, jobs abroad because of the drastic changes imposed on US science by the Trump administration https://go.nature.com/4knB9CX

"NIH funding is gone, so you should pivot to private foundations for funding" Meanwhile, private foundations:

What cutting science and biomedical grants mean for the nation... www.npr.org/2025/04/25/n...

To be clear, these kinds of breakthroughs are going to come to a screeching halt with the current NIH funding cuts. This new treatment is only possible because of decades of basic research. What might be possible 20 years from now if we don't destroy basic research? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3 www.science.org/content/arti...

In a new #ScienceEditorial, Donald Moynihan and Pamela Herd address concerning impacts of “Schedule F” increasing the number of political appointees at federal agencies like the National Science Foundation. scim.ag/4kcAnIX

President Donald Trump and his administration have gutted science agencies, terminated research programmes and cancelled billions of dollars in grants to universities. A feature in Nature examines the long-term impacts for the US and the world. #Academicsky 🧪

Exclusive: National Science Foundation staff were told today that the agency’s 37 divisions—across all eight directorates—are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced.

It was a privilege to help tell the stories of U.S. scientists whose lives have been upended during the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s administration in this recent piece for @science.org

Yeah, take that, you freeloading newborns.

NEW: Whistleblower records show that the NIH axed research grants – even after a federal judge blocked the cuts with an injunction. www.propublica.org/article/trum... 🧵

Musk and SpaceX are among the biggest winners in Trump’s 2026 spending plan. Trump is delivering on Musk’s wish list at both NASA and the Pentagon, reshaping federal space spending to funnel billions of dollars in new business directly to him.

President Donald Trump today asked Congress to make massive and unprecedented cuts to the 2026 budgets of major federal science agencies. scim.ag/3Yszqnm

Trump proposes unprecedented budget cuts for US science in next fiscal year NASA cut by 24% NIH cut by 40% EPA cut by 55% NSF cut by 56% Analysis from @maxkozlov.bsky.social @dangaristo.bsky.social @alexwitze.bsky.social and @nature.com team www.nature.com/articles/d41...

#AImmSRC 2025 is here. Join speakers Carola Vinuesa, MD, PhD and Mark Davis, PhD, for the newest in emerging research for treating autoimmune diseases. Expand your network by meeting organizers like @montserrat-anguera.bsky.social. Check out the agenda and save your space: buff.ly/k4qMuOz

And here is a 60 Minutes Extra (Overtime) segment on YouTube. This did not air tonight, as we understand it. youtube.com/watch?v=nKJM...

Nearly 800 NIH grants have been terminated so far, including some focused on HIV and AIDS, trans health, and COVID-19, after researchers were told their work was no longer an agency priority. https://cbsn.ws/3YkDndI

People want institutions to stand up www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Gotta plug the wonderful speech from my dear colleague @montserrat-anguera.bsky.social at the Philly #standupforscience rally today. An inspiration!

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

📣New paper alert from the lab! Turns out the inactive X in B cells is less compact than fibroblasts. Thanks to collaboration with alumni Isabel, amazing Natalie & Claudia from @cambupenn.bsky.social & @PennEpiInst faculty @ericjoyce.bsky.social @creminslab.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports...

During these times of uncertainty, new scientific discoveries can provide hope and maybe joy. Thrilled to share Natalie’s work - a new preprint from Anguera lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#ASI2024 day 3 was a big day for B cells! Julie Zikherman showed how particulate Ag bypass LYN inhibition, @montserrat-anguera.bsky.social showed how XCI in T cells contribute to SLE, there was a whole B cell session featuring @kimljacobson.bsky.social @iancockburn.bsky.social & Julia Ellyard...

Insights: Nikhil Jiwrajka & @montserrat-anguera.bsky.social discuss study of plasmacytoid dendritic cells from #SystemicSclerosis patients by Du et al. (https://buff.ly/3Cf8uQ8) that suggests the X chromosome plays a key role in the sex bias of this autoimmune disease. https://buff.ly/4jnpjc2
