These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers.

My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers.

We found 437 of them.

University labs help power America's biotech innovation ecosystem Hopkins researcher Jean Fan and her team create open-source tools that help bridge the gap between academic discoveries and life-saving treatments. Cuts to federal funding threaten to break this criti...

In this interview, I explain how university research, when funded by independent #NIH #NSF federal grants, brings oversight to biotech to fuel innovation while keeping science transparent, reliable, and in service of the public good: hub.jhu.edu/2025/07/30/j...

Research Saves Lives

At Hopkins, we just went live with an expansive website showing the extraordinary value of research, the impact of cuts to research, what's at stake, resources for our research community, etc.

B cells modulate lung antiviral inflammatory responses via the neurotransmitter acetylcholine - Nature Immunology Cembellin-Prieto and colleagues find that B cells in the lung are capable of producing acetylcholine and that these regulate early macrophage activation and control influenza virus replication.

Congratulations Baumgarth Lab

@Nature Immunology paper out today

Baumgarth Lab postdoc Antonio Cembellin Prieto is 1st author!

This research shows how B cells use the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to modulate early lung antiviral inflammatory responses

"Bringing hope where there was none, 20 years of pancreatic cancer research and discovery".

Amazing line up of speakers.

CDC is pulling back $11B in Covid funding sent to health departments across the U.S. “Now that the pandemic is over, the grants and cooperative agreements are no longer necessary," federal health authorities wrote to funding recipients this week.

I got the news this morning on two COVID related grants that were being terminated because its no longer seen as a research priority by Health and Human Services. My people have been given their notice. I have no words to express my feelings.

I know our CEO spent 2 days in DC last week. I plan to march for science this Friday (3/7).

It is extremely difficult for me to walk into any lab to pitch anything other than offer my support in any way possible.

Trump Administration Stalls Scientific Research Despite Court Ruling Using an arcane law, officials have effectively delayed funding from the National Institutes of Health, leaving medical studies in jeopardy.
