Thank you for accepting our invitation Joe and for sharing your exciting research! You still have the best images and videos of platelet formation in the field!
Special thanks to Sandra Pinho for the opportunity to give a seminar at The University of Illinois at Chicago. It was a pleasure meeting with the students and faculty in the Department of Pharmacology & Regenerative Medicine. #megakaryocyte

US President confuses transgenic and transgender. The bar for moronic statements from politicians about science is set very high these days, but he hurdled it with ease... economictimes.indiatimes.com…

People who spend their careers writing NIH grants are the literal opposite of grifters.
It is a soul-sucking, brutal process.
The scientists don’t get rich when they get funded. Their salary doesn’t change.
They do it for science. For patients.
You know, to make 🇺🇸healthy.

Should not be a flat rate, but in inverse proportion to institution endowment. This is going to tank and decimate so many institutions and labs. Especially since it seems there is no increase to number of grants or grant size.
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

1) Since there is a lot of confusion about the reduction of the overhead rate on NIH grants to 15% (see here: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/…) I'll do a little tweetorial (or X-torial?) about it.

The American people are apparently ok with this.
I just can’t anymore.
Community note
This is false. It was a rumor that went viral on X and TikTok.
Karoline Leavitt hit with false claims she told press 'Jesus didn't have electricity either' - irishstar.com/news/us-news/k…

Did you know? Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

Sen Zhan , PhD presented data at #ASH24 plenary session- PF4 impact on murine and human HSC aging .
This could provide targeted therapies for HSC rejuvenation and potential strategies improve the course of age-related immune dysfunction and hematopoietic diseases
