Powerful speech from @brownlab1.bsky.social on need for state-level funding of early research to keep smart folks in NYS and boost retention of startups/industry offshoots! Long term ($$$) stems from smart investment ($) @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social @drshrutinaik.bsky.social @miriammerad.bsky.social
Thanks Ruth!

The rules of immunity are different in early life! Lead author Dr. Yue Xing finds that early life DCs sense allergens and trigger inflammation directly in skin. This in-situ activation state emerges from a developing HPA and low glucocorticoids. #Naiklab @nature.com

A developmental checkpoint set by neuroendocrine maturation that enables in situ DC activation and immune induction, thereby shaping age-dependent responses to allergens @nature.com @drshrutinaik.bsky.social

Hyper-reactive DCs in infant skin trigger eczema and may drive later asthma and food allergy β© distinct diseases with shared biology & prevention targets. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Chinese Universities Surge in Global Rankings as U.S. Schools Slip www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u... current govt policies are probably not directly responsible for this but the they will certainly not help and will accelerate the downward spiral
NYers helps us call on @governor.ny.gov to invest in the Empire Biomedical Research Institute. A robust, stable research ecosystem protects jobs, fuels innovation, and builds community health. NY must invest in our global leadership in science. nycures.org @gothamist.com: tinyurl.com/5fab5k7u

Petition for a NY Biomedical Institute. This is a no-brainer to support science in NY, similar to programs in CA/TX.

Wondering why you should β our petition? c.org/nDnRNSsVcq
In @aai.org, founder @drshrutinaik.bsky.social reveals why the coalition was formed, why NY needs a state-backed research institute, and how scientists should organize for systemic support β here and nationwide.

Add your name β at www.nycures.org so Albany sees 10,000 scientists calling for the future of biomedical research to be built right here in New York.
Our first email to members goes out soonβintroducing the statewide biomedical institute weβre proposing and how you can help power it forward.
We had a lot of fun with this one - Lymphatics meet B cells with @carlanowosad.bsky.social @nyulangone.bsky.social π Sometimes less is more

It costs ~$70 to produce a yearβs supply of insulin.
Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isnβt inflation or supply chainβItβs corporate greed.
NowβCalifornia will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!
Congrats!! Great to see this beautiful work in print!
Taxpayers should not accept cuts in funding for cancer research. Bravo ππΎππΎππΎππΎππΎ @miriammerad.bsky.social
ππΌππΌππΌSign up to show New York State law makers that you want your tax dollars to fund life saving research www.nycures.org
Immunotherapy researcher Miriam Merad from Icahn Mount Sinai says the reason that cancer research has slowed is because of funding issues, which is something taxpayers donβt have to accept.
βWe fight for patients, we fight for science, and we have to fight for progress.β

Your immune system remembers skin inflammation long after it resolves because of #interferon alpha!
