Maybe gonna do a “Trump Corruption Tier List” here’s what I have so far. Trying to focus on things that are pretty cut and dried “using the power of the presidency for personal enrichment.” What am I missing?

Drawing of three scientists - from the NIH, EPA and NASA - standing together

This morning, NASA released the #VoyagerDeclaration. This afternoon, NIH #BethesdaDeclaration signers met w/ Jay Bhattacharya. Earlier, EPA staff were terminated for their act of resistance.

I made this in solidarity. @altnih4science.bsky.social @altnasa.bsky.social @alt-epa-workers.bsky.social

Thank you Eric for highlighting our 4 preprints on various aspects of SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD biology, including CryoEM structure, ASO-mediated rescue, its role in neurons and its synergistic role with autophagy in mitochondrial dynamics. All the credits go to all the trainees and collaborators!

@jeremymberg.bsky.social to share to others - this is a forecasted NIGMS MIRA funding opportunity for established/new investigators as I know people have been asking (FOR-GM-27-002) - due date appears to be late Jan 2026: grants.gov/search-resul...

Saving money vs. saving lives
YouTube video by CBS Sunday Morning Saving money vs. saving lives

Ted Koppel interviews my Hopkins colleague Prof. Liz Jaffee, world expert in pancreatic cancer, about the devastating cuts and slow roll out of cancer research funding by the NIH.

Good read to start the morning.

It turns out that blaming a widely respected cancer researcher and doc is not a great strategy...

My first Bluesky post lol: Grateful to our amazing co-authors Helen Wang, Ida Biunno, and Shengyi Iris Sun, and many colleagues who made this possible! Huge thanks to two reviewers John Christianson and Yihong Ye for their insightful comments!

SEL1L–HRD1-mediated ERAD in mammals Nature Cell Biology - This Review discusses emerging insights into SEL1L–HRD1-mediated endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation, including the underlying molecular mechanisms,...

🚨 New review alert! Our article "SEL1L–HRD1-mediated ERAD in mammals" is now online at Nature Cell Biology. We explore how this central ERAD pathway maintains protein homeostasis in mammals and why it matters for health and disease.

Thank you, Ahmad! Congratulations to Leo, Ahmad, and the entire team — it was an incredible experience to witness the power of integrating human genetics and physiology with biophysics! Please check out our paper.

Check out our latest preprint with the Qi lab on the structure and disease physiology of the human ERAD complex. Outstanding work by Leo, a cell physiologist whom we successfully tempted into structural biology! Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78)

I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine
