Congratulations!!! Your lab is awesome - a testament to your leadership.

New paper from the Crispino lab! www.jci.org/articles/vie.... We examined how suppression of FBXO11, an E3 Ub ligase substrate receptor, could contribute to MDS progression. We found shutdown of an FBXO11-NPM1 protein network in MDS HSPCs, providing new insight for therapeutic approaches.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.

This is a major win for public health.

This made my morning, thank you 😂😂

Trump’s NIH And NSF Cuts Estimated To Cost The U.S. Economy $10 Billion Annually Economists find public R&D drives a quarter of U.S. productivity growth — and pays for itself

🧪 Basic science boosts the economy:

"The proposed dismantling of NSF [and NIH] raises an urgent question: do these cuts actually save money or merely delay spending until the bill gets larger?

The answer is clear: these cuts will cost the economy billions."

My ongoing request:

If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here.

NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h...

NIH: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h...

Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.

DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds?

RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them

D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?

Party on yessss 🤣 enjoy!

Purple happy mug, time with the pup, and college softball replays before jiu jitsu and grocery shopping. Getting mentally set so I can process reviewer comments later 🥸 happy Saturday🌟

Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

Love this!! Really enjoyed hearing both talks, it was a fun Friday for HSC biology. Thanks for visiting!

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Cancelled NIH grant information submission form Please use this form to submit information identifying specific NIH grants that have been cancelled for any reason after January 20, 2025. Data from this form will be used to update the Rescinded NIH...

The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up.

If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes.

Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.

Five years ago, Breonna Taylor was murdered. She should still be alive.

We will not forget.

Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully.

That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy.

If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

NIH Grants Fueled $95 Billion In FY 2024 Economic Activity, Finds New Report National Institutes of Health grants generated almost $95 billion in economic activity nationwide in FY 2024 according to a new report by United for Medical Research.

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.

That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.

Show me a better investment than that.

Marco Rubio doesn’t get to decide who’s allowed freedom of speech. The Constitution protects everyone in the U.S.

Fact-check: True

Yessssss Nate 🤘🏻

Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today.  Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump.

Vandy alone losing hundreds of Millions thanks to this Trump move…

Executive actions to slash allowable indirect costs will inevitably devastate academic medical centers, damaging public health and tanking local economies. I used the link below to find and message my representative and hope you will too.
