ICYMI: Vasculopathy occurs early in systemic sclerosis, but intervention strategies are lacking.

Colin Jamora & team reveal ANGPTL2 as an inducer of vasculopathy that drives cutaneous fibrogenesis in mice—mirroring SSc—and present a therapeutic approach: UAS03.

Corrupt. Dangerous. Deeply deeply damaging.

Impressive work following over two thousand volunteers for over two years. Both intervention arms (structured and self guided) showed improvements.
Thank you ‪@alzassociation.bsky.social‬ for your work.

Some sweet people have been sending physical cards and letters to the Bethesda Declaration signers. This is so kind and meaningful.

It would be GREAT if they received more. Cards can be sent to

Ian will share them with the signers.

It is a strange time when I think that a new policy from this administration makes sense and I actually support.
I miss the times where most notices made sense, though.

As Jay said, many of the #BethesdaDeclaration signers will meet with him on Monday. And oh boy are we prepared!

While not every signer was invited, we worked together and with our colleagues across #NIH to bring our concerns—and evidence to back them up.

Buckle up, this will be a long thread. 🧵

There is a rally on MONDAY at 4:30 PM to stand up for NIH. Please join.

Many NIH employees signed the Bethesda Declaration, objecting to the destruction of NIH. The Trump NIH Director asked the signers to meet. The rally follows that meeting, in support.

“On Not Betraying Our Trainees, Especially Now”

I won an Extraordinary Achievement Award from the Critical Care Assembly last month

The @atscommunity.bsky.social premier journal @atsblueeditor.bsky.social TODAY published the remarks I made on that occasion

Would be honored to see @alsobrooks.senate.gov on the growing list of signers!

Still appreciating the platform she provided for us at the #SickOfIt rally. Then, I wore a veil to hide my identity. Good to be unmasked!

Today, my NIH colleagues and I did something scary but really important. We spoke up about egregious harms we are seeing happen to research participants and public health through thoughtless and politicized policies at NIH. 🧵1/3

I learned today directly from a NIGMS director at the shock conference that a new MIRA RFA is in the works and the program will continue 🤞

I moved to the US because of the support for science. Only to end up in a very similar circus.

‘Scienticide’ in Argentina sparks huge protest by researchers Hundreds of activists wearing gas masks took to the streets to call out their government for slashing science funding.

History repeats itself, sadly.
I was an undergrad student doing my first bench work in Buenos Aires when the economy minister (Cavallo) wanted to close CONICET. That was about 25 years ago...

I am a proud HHMI Gilliam Fellow alumn. The HHMI funded me at a critical time in my career - a real inflection point that made me realize that I had a place and future in science. I always looked to the HHMI as a safety net to those historically excluded by academia, 1/4

House Republicans just released their plan to kick 14 million Americans off health insurance, slashing hundreds of billions from Medicaid in order to give a massive tax cut to billionaires and big corporations. This isn’t “fiscal responsibility” — it’s cruelty, plain and simple.

I hope this enrages everyone, but, when you have a kid with cystic fibrosis, which is, almost definitionally, “very sick kid” status, it hits at a whole different level
