The Trump administration on Thursday halted Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students, a major escalation in the administration’s efforts to pressure the college to fall in line with President Trump’s demands. nyti.ms/4k8w2qB

😍 Amazing resource!!

To be clear, if this bill passes, it will end all scientific research & medical training in the US. It will close hospitals. It will be economically devastating. Millions will lose their jobs.

Call your representatives & tell them to vote fuck no on 15% IDC rates & the rest of this horror show.

Interleukin-34-dependent perivascular macrophages promote vascular function in the brain The niche signals critical for the homeostasis and functions of the brain border-associated macrophages (BAMs) are not well understood. Van Hove et al. demonstrate that BAMs require IL-34 derived from mural cells and perivascular fibroblasts for their maintenance in adulthood. They show that BAMs are required to promote normal vascular function in the brain.

Trump’s team, often accused of spreading misinformation, slashes misinformation research Hundreds of grants axed in a field where the United States was a global leader

Reality: Misinformation research is NOT about censorship. It is about understanding one of the most complex & harmful phenomena of our time.

Exclusive: NIH to suspend funds for research abroad as it overhauls policy Move by US biomedical agency threatens thousands of projects on infectious diseases, cancer and more.

NEW: An NIH policy coming in the next week will target — and at least temporarily stop — funding outside the US, threatening thousands of projects and collaborations on topics like infectious diseases and cancer.

Some NIH staff have already been told to hold all subaward funds for foreign labs.

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health.

Just found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

A researcher just lost their grant funding because their work might help understand why people are hesitant about vaccines.

Decades Ago, Columbia Refused to Pay Trump $400 Million. Note That Number. A quarter century ago, the university was looking to expand. It considered, and rejected, property owned by Donald Trump. He did not forget it.

Decades before President Trump canceled $400 million in funding for Columbia University, he tried to sell property to the school — for $400 million.

Columbia Concedes to Trump’s Demands After Federal Funds Are Stripped The administration has moved to cut $400 million in federal funding to the university without changes to its policies and rules.

Columbia University agreed on Friday to make changes to its protest rules, campus security policies and Middle Eastern studies department in a remarkable concession to the Trump administration, which had moved to cut $400 million in federal funding to the university.
