There are too many Phillies fans in here because Harrison Bader should not be the #1 trending thing on bluesky

few outcomes, except for 99% of FDA-approved drugs, 174 recipients of 104 Nobel Prizes, training ~30K MDs and ~10K PhDs per year to enter the workforce, and a 34% reduction in age-adjusted cancer deaths since 1990 -- the largest decrease in history

This forward funding scheme is a prime example of how the administration is weaponizing bureaucratic processes to destroy NIH. It seems on the surface to be reasonable, but in reality the effect will be devastating cuts to funding new grants.

It’s the path to scientific stagnation.

we should pay him 5 billion dollars probably i think

When dreams turn dark: Neuroscientists to study nightmares and mental health | Penn State University Dreams, and likely nightmares, are experienced universally across humans and animals, but neuroscientists still do not know why. Now, with a three-year, $1.2 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundatio...

This is a dream project with an absolute dream team (pun 100% intended). Thanks to the W.M. Keck Foundation for seeing the vision.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

🚨 BREAKING: Nearly 4 months the NIH cut its first grants, a judge has ruled that the directives and process that led to cuts are arbitrary and capricious.

"The explanations are bereft of reasoning β€” virtually in their entirety... unsupported by [facts]."

Each of them are VOID and ILLEGAL, he says.

if my team won the Super Bowl because we were so good at running the most basic play possible that they had to ban it, I would not stop talking about it until the day I died. Congratulations to Eagles fans everywhere, your team defeated football

Officially promoted with tenure! Grateful for my mentors and my wonderful lab through the years, from the first day in lab with Kasuni in 2019 to today with my current crew (missing a few) in our new lab space. Today is the best day. :)

This will kill us: restricting animal research Tuesday, as my lab gathered to celebrate the completion of one of our big studies, the National Institutes of Health announced that they…

The NIH move to restrict animal research is a bad one and not just about health - it's about national security.
