NIH Announces Major Policy Shift to End Use of Human Fetal Tissue in NIH-Supported Research Agency to focus on next-generation, validated research models.

Bad science policies consistent with this administration not thinkning about the ramifications of their decisions.

Weird rings of DNA fuel cancers. This scientist leads the effort to target them Paul Mischel and others are testing therapies for rogue genetic loops that drive tumor evolution and growth

Great review on a super important topic! Why do only some cancers depend on ecDNA? What role does ecDNA play in normal biology? SO many questions!!

I understand but the tax cuts will put the legislature in cutting mode.

We are so screwed.

We are so screwed with this bill. The NIH budget has not gone down as long as I’ve been in science and it’s being cut 40%. I cannot get over this. It’s the end of scientific research as we’ve known it.

We still have 2 more years of this! So much government support has been eroded so that the rich can get richer.

I am devastated that the republicans passed this bill. There is so much wrong with it. But, I am dwelling on the economic repercussions of cutting the NIH budget (which comprises less than 1% of the budget) by 40%. Why did so few republicans pay attention to the serious problems with it?

#science folks, we're VERY concerned that fed budget approved by the House has a 40% cut to NIH. But, it's not being discussed in the senate! Many are lobbying behind the scenes - VERY important but not getting to the public. We need a viral video to get attention. Ideas?

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Massive crowd at Hands Off rally in St. Paul, Minnesota

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

An estimated 1500 protesters pack Hinds Plaza for the local Hands Off protest.

Princeton turned out.

An excellent write up on Peter Marks, with whom I worked in the past - he is everything we needed in a leader at the FDA - brilliant, indefatigable (not a word I apply lightly), and a wonderful person.

Peter Marks’ ouster is an ominous sign for biotech — and for public health “Marks being forced out at CBER highlights what I see as a lack of informed, good intentions behind the so-called Make America Healthy Again movement,” writes Paul Knoepfler in @STATNews’ “Lab Dish” c...

Peter Marks is brilliant. It’s a huge loss for public health and the American people.
