Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This is amazing 👇

It was great having you visit. Thanks for a great seminar and looking forward to new collaborations. Safe travels.

Timing may be key to effective cancer treatments Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis find the timing of biopsy can affect how doctors diagnose tumors and when those cancers may be more sensitive to chemotherapy.

Dosing on the way down improves outcomes for glioblastoma. Thanks Maddy Frank for covering this collaboration with @oliviawalch.bsky.social and WashU grad student @mariafelicita.bsky.social. #chronotherapy #circadian #medicine source.washu.edu/2025/11/timi...

I have been trying to get this published as an op-ed, but I am going to post it here since I think it is timely in light of the "consent" extortion events.

It is impossible to explain to civilians how it feels to finally, FINALLY, land a clearly within-payline NIH grant score and then have it go unfunded because of all this regime bullshit.

You all have my sympathies. Unfair doesn’t even begin to describe it.

GIP receptor agonism suppresses inflammation-induced aversion and food intake via distinct circuits https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.12.669936v1

Sharing our newest study led by the incredibly talented @federicamosti.bsky.social investigating new molecular mechanisms of human brain development. We discover a human-specific enhancer HAR1984 that influences chromatin looping to promote cortical size and folding! www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers.

My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers.

We found 437 of them.

Download it freely here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

My team has updated our free database of POSTDOC fellowships.

This database contains 286 entries. For each entry, we provide a link, short description, deadline, amount, and eligibility criteria.

Download this updated and expanded database here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

🤣

The updated version of the database of PhD fellowships produced and maintained by my team can be downloaded by anyone here:

research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

For each of the 187 fellowships, you will find a short description, deadline, $ amount, link, etc.

Good luck!

It doesn't matter if the Executive Order is illegal. The NIH has demonstrated consistently that it will follow orders from the OMB. Expect immediate action from the NIH on this order.

As I told you months ago, the old NIH is gone.

Pill Causes Major Weight Loss in Eli Lilly Trial’s Results The company said it planned to seek Food and Drug Administration approval for the drug, orforglipron, before the end of the year.

People who were overweight or had obesity lost a substantial amount of weight after taking a daily pill made by Eli Lilly, the company reported Wednesday. If the pill is approved by the FDA, it'll provide an alternative to weight-loss injectables like Ozempic.

‘It’s really, really bad right now’: NIH scientists dismayed by Trump cuts Researchers say scientific community is in state of whiplash and accuse president of trying to ‘destroy’ vital work

"What struck me was that many of my colleagues at universities [last week] were like, ‘Oh, my God, they’re stopping grants!’ And it seemed to activate people in a way that I hadn’t seen before.

Whereas a lot of us at NIH thought, ‘Oh, they just did another thing [to stop grants].’” 🧪
