First big piece of research from our SG lab: Fadi's work with Chris Brooke's lab. Flu serially passaged 80X selects a defective genome with improved competition, but is nonviable as a full virus!
Notable improvement & safety for DVGs as antiviral RNA therapies!

Congrats Italo!
In this study, led by BlueSky-less superstar undergrad Andrew Lazarus, we set out to ask whether longer reactivation events during sleep lead to more memory benefits. Results suggest this is not the case, but there are some disclaimers. Read all about it! #sleep

It's a hard time to get excited about science, but still - getting ready to CRISPR ✂️✂️
Thank you @bwfund.bsky.social for the support! I am excited to be apart of this year’s #BWFPath cohort.
@virulentmind.bsky.social was just announced as BW investigator! So awesome and truly well deserved. Go Megan!
I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs.

Many hundreds (perhaps up to 1000) of additional NIH grants appear to be have been terminated on Friday.
I have updated the data from the HHS TAGGS site (and converted it from a pdf to an Excel file) on the dashboard but many hundreds are still missing.

Tucson, Arizona today.
Original projected attendance was 3,000 people.
23,000 showed up.
Excited to share @joelrc.bsky.social 's new paper examining the factors underlying cell-to-cell heterogeneity in interferon induction during flu infection:

It was a great meeting, and I found a lot of inspiration and resilience in your talk!
The House Continuing Resolution budget “adjustments” for NIH are drastic. Here are some examples:
ATTENTION: TALENT AVAILABLE
It appears that termination of SROs from institute review branches at NIH is underway (or worse).
There are also program officers and SROs who have been terminated over the past month.
