Senate committee endorses NIH budget increase, rebuking Trump administration’s proposed 40% cut Senators from both parties endorsed a $400 million increase to the budget of the National Institutes of Health on Thursday

I’ll take every bit of good news I can get. “Senators from both parties endorsed a $400 million increase to the budget of the National Institutes of Health… in an Appropriations Committee vote that represents a clear rebuke of President Trump’s plan to dramatically reduce the agency’s spending.”

some of them were used always, before ChatGPT. Should I stop using them now??

Fantastic work of @evgenykvon.bsky.social team. @gracebower.bsky.social did an amazing job. It was a pleasure to assist them even as little as we did. Hope for more collaborations in the future!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Great work! Does this PhD student look for a postdoc? :)

so happy to see you here!!!!

Here are the nearly 2,500 medical research grants canceled or delayed by Trump (Gift Article) Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

Even though cataract surgery is generally safe and effective, cataract is still a leading cause of blindness worldwide. We need to understand the optical and materials properties of the eye lens to make better replacement lenses. This budget would eliminate that, including my lab's work.

Senator Durbin noted that some (I believe Republican Senators) had indicated the US had been doing more than its share of biomedical research and it was time for other countries take a turn.

I felt I had to interrupt to respond...

Good morning!!! ☀️

Ldb1-Lhx complex. This is fascinating!!

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity:

1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas…
2) enabled by Engineering Innovations…
3) based on Science Research in Universities…
4) funded by Grants from the US Government.

It’s time more people understood this.

In #myfirstpost here, I'm excited to share the news that the Crews Lab's latest research on #immunesystem #aging is now published in @geroscience.bsky.social! This work is the culmination of a wonderful collaboration with @drdorotask.bsky.social Lab with major efforts by @silviavicenzi.bsky.social!

It was a great collaboration with @crewslab.bsky.social ! Complementary expertise, curiosity and unique mouse model. Congrats @silviavicenzi.bsky.social and looking forward to working together to decipher the mechanism! #aging #Bcells #PUFA #ELOVL2 @ucirvine.bsky.social

Third time’s overrated — fourth time’s where the magic happens! I just got awarded a BrightFocus Foundation National Glaucoma Research grant! Thank you @brightfocus.bsky.social for your support!!! #agingeye #glaucoma #epigeneticmemory

The Coming Out of a Transgender Scientist "I know that I am making the right decision because whenever I think about changing my gender role, I am flooded with feelings of relief."

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

so the ones that received the awards are also affected? I mean - grants are cancelled?

I am so sorry BWJ. So unfair. Lots of hugs 🖤

14 pages of terminated NIH grants--everyone should read through the list. The sweep is VERY broad, including "The Impact of the Herpes Zoster Vaccine on Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus" & "Mitochondrial-based Determinants of Sex Differences in Acute Kidney Injury"🧪 1/n
