This is your friendly reminder to call your senators today, wherever you are, and urge them to prevent this multi-year funding scheme. The future of my lab, and so many others, rely on this 🙏🙏
“The new policy means that the number of grants that can be funded this year will drop dramatically. And that will decimate US biomedical science labs across the country, and set back medical research and cures for disease by years.” “Sources inside NIH say that this rigid and sweeping multi-year funding policy did not come from NIH, but instead from political appointees at HHS or the White House.” open.substack.com/pub/donmoy…

Fantastic work from @Jie_Immunology Proud to be a small part or this outstanding work.
We @WXQ_Micro are thrilled to share our new manuscript @ScienceMagazine , in which we uncovers a critical role for macrophage peroxisomes in lung repair after viral infection. Could targeting peroxisomes be the key to mitigating long COVID?! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Institutional emails can be annoying because you have to stretch your finger all the way over to the delete button. I did a tally of how many we get in a two week period. Join me on the perilous journey to my inbox. open.substack.com/pub/profka…

Was trying to fly @AmericanAir yesterday but flight was cancelled. Problems happen but the app did not help me rebook. They supplied a hotel and transport but spent almost a half hour on the phone with a rep to confirm the ticket and still can’t check in online. The app sucks!

“Diversifying assets” sounds a little too much like DEI. So does “biodiversity.” Please try to refrain from anything that sounds like you are promoting diversity in your teaching and research.
