Dear friends, Most of you know, some of you might not, that I have Niemann Pick B disease (or ASMD), a rare genetic progressive disease. From 2016 I participated in an experimental drug trial for the only treatment available. Friends died waiting for it. Participating in the trial meant giving up elements of my body and freedom to 25% of those years in hospital. But ultimately it meant halting and reversing the progression disease to a point where I could function and thrive on a daily basis, live & breathe without pain, put an end to hospital stays with mystery infections and undoubtedly meant the extension of my lifespan. It meant I could help others better, build friendships, experience things I never thought I'd be able to. Now NICE have determined that despite their own assessment confirming that it works, all this is not enough, and have denied access to the treatment on the NHS -the only treatment- whilst Scotland, the EU, and global centres have all approved. The reason is that with only 36 of us in the UK, it's too expensive for the number of people who'll benefit. It's weird to feel like you're having have your life quantified and a price put on your head, even though I know it's not that simple. What would you do with 30 extra years, how much would they be worth? I don't often enough ask for help to be honest as a person who's needed a lot of it. Discussions have to reopened before a cut off date of August 1st, so we urgently need to signal boost, and therefore I'm asking if friends and loved ones would be able to; -Tag or write to your MP to challenge this decision on this post; https://www.facebook.com/NiemannPickUK/posts/pfbid07Cg1YBtfn4UpiV2sEnNGNYtmkvHHFfQ9rYhUUXU18hk419vQo4CWvhRHAkijbKprl -Share info about this on your channels with #LifeIsRare and tagging Niemann-Pick UK / @niemannpickuk with a bit of context to get others to do the same. The full decision info from NICE is also here if anyone's interested; https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/hst32

A friend is asking to share this with UK people! Please write to your MPs about this issue!

Does anyone know of any cFOS and or ARC primary antibodies that don’t suck? Bonus if they’ve been shown to work or NHPs or if host is anything other than rabbit.

When can we stop taking these programs seriously.
- there is no global capacity to absorb US funding cuts
- nowhere with good funding and scientific environment has a hard time recruiting scientists ever
- nowhere is short of scientists, they are short of resources to do research

This is the crucial revelation of authoritarian movements in the 21st C: you don't have to hide what you're doing. If you create an information ecosystem dysfunctional enough, mistrustful enough, fragmented enough, you can act in the open, confident that the truth will never be clearly conveyed.

After a relatively quiet 2 weeks on NIH grants, RFK, HHS, and Republicans are back to their slashing and burning. My never-ending request:

If your NIH grant has been terminated, please report them through our new website here: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h...

Grief Makes Us Time Travelers (Gift Article) A neuroscientist studying memory, I used to believe time was linear. Then my mother had a stroke.

Honored that a piece I wrote made it to NYTimes. It’s about how my mom’s stroke changed my connection to time, science, and nature. What a privilege to honor my mom in Modern Love.

Opinion | Know what makes ‘post-covid’ life complicated? Cancer. My husband has bone-marrow cancer. For us, the pandemic is only as over as it is safe to reenter the world: not particularly.

I have a piece in the Washington Post today about those for whom the “post-Covid world” is not so “post.” Thanks in advance to anyone who’s reading 🎉🌱 www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

How Columbia Ignored Women, Undermined Prosecutors and Protected a Predator For More Than 20 Years For decades, patients warned Columbia about the behavior of obstetrician Robert Hadden. One even called 911 and had him arrested. Columbia let him keep working.
