Pres. Kornbluth articulates such moral clarity in this rejection of the proposed “compact”:

“the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone”

Nailed it!

We’re going to miss you Karen! Thanks for all you do for the GI Research community. 👏👏👏

Scupper! 😉

Many congratulations to Dr. Mike Hedrick (CSU East Bay) on delivering the August Krogh Distinguished Lecture of the Comparative Physiology Section at APS Summit 2025. A richly deserved honor!

Great to catch up with old friends at the APS Summit opening reception held at the famous Camden Yards in Baltimore.

We all saw it and heard it with our own eyes.

So did Europe!

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world.

Hello George. Would be delighted to join.

What to say about this version of the “Swasticar”?

Congratulations Karen to you and your co-organizers for putting together a great meeting. 👏👏👌

$1 invested in #NIH returns $2.5 to #economy
Cutting IDC is like funding firefighters salaries but removing from fire dept budgets funding for training, water, gas, electricity, fire truck maintenance. Foundation grants with low IDC, supplement but don’t support full #biomedical research costs

Thinking of my family and neighbors in Ireland who are gathered together to see out Storm Eowyn. They still have heat, but they’ve run out of wine!

Many thanks to UCR science writer, Iqbal Pittalwala, on this write-up of our newly accepted paper in @aga-cmgh.bsky.social identifying a novel #Genetic #mutation linked to higher #SARSCoV2 risk, and rescue with a JAK inhibitor @ucrsom.bsky.social
