We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer...

Always worth repeating: Every new medicine begins in an academic lab, and this publicly funded research is one of the strongest economic engines a state can support, making the proposed EBRI a win-win for everyone, so sign and share >>> c.org/nDnRNSsVcq

Funders must recognise that great discoveries often come from studies that seeks to advance knowledge for its own sake

Enjoyed sharing my home brew 'Cyto-hops-ic IE-ale' with everyone at our departmental Oktoberfest. Unfortunately, only my lab and a select few understood the reference.

Science is pretty amazing! The amount of basic science that leads to these clinical breakthroughs is staggering and often not appreciated by the politicians that decide funding levels
I'll take #gdTcells for $500
A key US Senate committee has indicated that it will reject the huge budget cuts that President Donald Trump proposed for some science agencies, including the US National Science Foundation and NASA.

As NIH budget deliberations continue, prepare to hear Bhattacharya deflect substantial questions about the negative effects of his funding policies with “I’m an economist.”
He’s not a very good one if he’s unable to assess the impact of funding decisions at the agency he directs.

These are VERY rough estimates, but here's life expectancy after diagnosis of type-I diabetes over the past 150 years.
It was Banting and Best's discovery of how to isolate insulin in 1921 — not some fucking cooking class — that gave people including my daughter a new lease on life.
Proud of Harvard for pushing back, exercising some creativity, and, maybe, helping folks get some needed education.
Harvard is making many of their online government courses FREE.

NEW: We (mostly @noamross.net) launched a website to shine a brighter light on terminated NIH and NSF grants.
grant-watch.us
It links to our NIH & NSF trackers, grant info submission forms, and other info. We'll also add new analyses soon.
Check it out and let us know what else you'd like to see.
Check out this cool new study from a colleague at @stonybrookmedicine.bsky.social. Congrats to Charles and his team! Mtb-reactive CD8a expressing NK cells in humans!
Another great study from the @khannakm.bsky.social lab! Disease tolerance to limit Pathology in mucosal tissues
