You've probably heard how a high percentage of #Nobel laureates are immigrants. The US in particular has benefited from the influx of bright minds. @jennaahart.bsky.social ran the data for this century's Nobel prizewinners — and shows more than 30% immigrated. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Yesterday was a good day: The honor of being called a Dorothy Lambiase Derchin Scholar in Gender-Specific Medicine A ceasefire Optimism and relief

Important negative data!

A new @nature.com feature on autism with real data and facts Published today, written before the Tylenol debacle. ' Kennedy and the HHS are “going to falsely declare the cause for autism — and that that gets in the way of a great deal of progress”.' www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Only single cell sequencing of the all these post docs will reveal why

😍😍😍 My heart got full today seeing my team in action! With all the craziness happening these days we manage to keep our chin up and our science rolling!

I will be at Washington Square Park this Friday at noon. What about you? standupforscience2025.org

Say it with me... 🧪 👩‍🔬

Studies show that funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) contributed to 354 of 356 drugs (99.4%) approved by the FDA from 2010 to 2019. Recklessly slashing NIH funding will mean that patients will be waiting much longer for life-saving treatments.

Amazing

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist. And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation. A 🧵:

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

So a former postdoc from our department had just started as a PO at NIH and was terminated in the wave of terminations last week. He is in the research triangle and a phenomenal scientist with expertise in stress and glia. If anyone in the RTI is hiring asap please let me know! #neuroskyence

Diversity supplements have been reopened! New expiration date May 8 2026

A good tutorial on how indirect costs support research & how important they are for developing new & better treatments for diseases. m.youtube.com/watch?v=yxTD...

Trainees who applied for an NIH diversity fellowship whose applications were withdrawn/not being reviewed, there's a NYTimes reporter who wants to talk, especially interested in applicants with disabilities. DM me & I'll put you in touch, will keep all contact confidential. Please amplify

Science and scientists are NOT the enemy! Science shines a bright light, bringing us better health (where does our medicine come from?), technology (where do our smart phones come from?), and a sense of wonder for life (remember how one of our greatest scientists described it?).

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...
