Flyer for a Donation Call where there was a lost of 16 grad school app fee waiver partners this year, totaling $8,250 in waived fees for aspiring scientists gone, that is 110 applications that may never be submitted.

Flyer for a Donation Call where there was a lost of 16 grad school app fee waiver partners this year, totaling $8,250 in waived fees for aspiring scientists gone, that is 110 applications that may never be submitted.

Last year, we helped 100 students save $31K in grad school app fees, giving students from underserved communities the freedom to apply widely.

This year we lost 16 partners = $8.2K setback = 110 fewer dreams.

πŸŽ“ You can change that.

Good supervisors!

Good supervisors!

A supportive supervisor/mentor makes graduate students happier and more content. The choice of mentir is so critical.

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com

Huntington’s disease treated for first time using gene therapy Nature - Preliminary results from a small trial offer the clearest evidence yet that the brain disease’s progression can be slowed.

A one-time gene therapy can markedly slow the progression of Huntington’s disease, potentially paving the way for the first ever treatment to alter the course of this rare, inherited brain disorder.

The latest news states that this doesn’t apply to current H1B visa holders, even if they’re out of the country. It only applies to new applicants that are out of the country? This is my understanding. Not clear if J1 visa holders that have secured a faculty position will be subjected to the 100k fee

This is very good news.

BUT, as we saw this year when NIH was operating under a flat budget, Trump and Russell Vought can effectively destroy NIH even if Congress holds the budget flat.

To stop Vought and make sure NIH can function, Congress must go much further than β€œno cuts to budget.”
