β€œImportantly, under long-standing law and practice, NIH does not have the authority to arbitrarily terminate grants. Its funding decisions must be guided by congressional mandates, regulatory requirements, and scientific expertise, not vague and undefined criteria.”

Getting closer to the reality of bacterial growth "in the wild".

Lab-adapted bugs are really like diabetic, force-fed versions of their wild parents. #MicroSky
