Lucy Shapiro was just awarded the 2025 Lasker~Koshland Special Achievement Award in Medical Science @laskerfdn.bsky.social!
We spoke with Dr. Shapiro back in 2019: Conversations with Giants in Medicine @ushmaneill.bsky.social
Thanks Steve! Hope our paths continue to cross.
All good things must come to an end, including this brilliant series that I was delighted to have hosted. Hope you all have enjoyed it as much as I did! Thank you @jclinical-invest.bsky.social ! And all the Giants who trusted me to help tell their stories.
This has been probably the most interesting 26 days I’ve had in my professional career. I remain dedicated to Columbia University, to higher education, and to doing whatever I can to help. I continue to believe Dr. Katrina Armstrong is an inspirational leader.

Petition to Reverse the NIH Indirect Cost Cap initiated by Tom Maniatis. Please amplify
Sign the Petition: chng.it/kK2HMP5pGk
"Share with Leadership & Faculty. Reach out to professional societies, biotech and pharma leaders, and philanthropic organizations to raise awareness and mobilize support."
Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.
But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

And you may ask yourself, "what day is this?"
And you may ask yourself, "do I have to go to work today?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?
And you may say to yourself, "My God, how much cheese have I eaten?”
