Dr. Jane Goodall was one of my science heroes throughout my life. May we contribute as much, be as fascinated by nature and science as much, and do as much good and instill as much hope as she did. RIP, Dr. Goodall.

Trump’s siege of science: how the first 30 days unfolded and what’s next The breakneck pace and devastating impact of the administration’s policy changes has shocked researchers.

I am SO pleased to be promoted to Full Professor this fall (official today!), but I am despairing about the attacks on science. My study section at NIH was just cancelled because HHS has blocked the required federal registry for meetings. It has been a disastrous 2025.
