Yesterday’s executive order on federal grantmaking threatens the future of peer review and science-driven funding decisions. Our statement is here. www.aamc.org/news/press-r...

The @aamctoday.bsky.social joined with the other leading higher education associations to ask the NIH Director, "in the spirit of consistency and fairness" to reinstate all grants that were terminated as a result of directives found to be unlawful. www.aamc.org/media/85166/...

@aamctoday.bsky.social and partners sent a letter to NIH Director Bhattacharya requesting the reinstatement of all terminated NIH grants under agency directives found by a federal court to be unlawful. These grants save lives and advance scientific progress. www.aamc.org/media/85166/...

My colleague @heatherhpierce.bsky.social spoke with @cnn.com about "existential threats" to academic medicine posed by proposed federal funding cuts, which would worsen the physician shortage, hinder scientific progress, and diminish the quality of patient care. www.cnn.com/2025/06/11/h...

New from @newsweek.com - I discuss AAMC’s new report on the threats to all of academic medicine. Thanks to Alexis Kayser for the conversation. www.newsweek.com/aamc-directo...

The AAMC released on May 6 an analysis of terminated NIH grants. As of May 5, U.S. institutions have lost $1.9 billion in funding across 777 terminated NIH grants this year, including 245 R01 grants and over 100 active clinical trials spanning a broad range of diseases. www.aamc.org/media/83356/...

What's next after a judge blocked NIH from slashing overhead payments? The government has other options even if it doesn't appeal. Read our analysis: | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

Although a federal court has blocked the F&A rate cut for now, cancelled NIH grants and missed funding cycles put the future of research at risk. Glad to talk with @juliangill.bsky.social at @houstonchronicle.com about the impact in Texas and beyond. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Marie Sklodowska Curie was the first woman to receive a #NobelPrize and the first person to receive the honor twice. In 2017, #ScienceBooks explored the dynamics that established Curie as “the most iconic of all female scientists.” #WomenInScienceDay

A federal judge issued a nationwide temporary pause on plans by the NIH to substantially slash research overhead payments www.statnews.com/2025/02/11/j...

Last night a federal judge issued a nationwide temporary restraining order preventing NIH from implementing a change to the reimbursement of F&A costs. This would have been a devastating cut, resulting in immediate harm - to all of us. This is why AAMC took action. www.aamc.org/news/press-r...

At least temporarily staving off what many saw as a crushing blow to U.S. biomedical research, a federal judge has suspended a plan by the Trump administration to slash billions of dollars in payments from the NIH that now go to universities to cover the overhead costs of research. scim.ag/40T7g5q

STAT’s @katiepalmer.bsky.social documents whet feels very palpable to me: Science and med 🧬🧪twitter moving rapidly to Blue Sky social. Happy to see so many former connections here. www.statnews.com/2024/11/21/b...

What I valued about Twitter was how, through carefully curating my Follows, my feed became the Who’s Who, the What’s What, and the What Do I Need to Know of science policy, science discovery, and science journalism. Hoping to recreate that here over time.
