I've always been surrounded by many great people and professors, but my family, especially my mom who was a teacher, was the person who encouraged me to study and pushed me to continue. When we're young, we don't understand why our parents bug us so much with school and doing homework, but it's a blessing to have that support at home.

Here’s the deal with the FY26 NIH funding bill:
One line in the 1000+ pg bill = significantly less science.
The increase to ~40% of grants moving to MYF is estimated to result in a 35% decrease in the NUMBER of NIH grants funded annually—moving the paylines from 10% to around 4%.
THIS IS BAD.
Congratulations to @standupforscience.bsky.social for receiving a 2025 prize from the 'Union Rationaliste' in France, for their work in service of science and democracy. The award is deserved recognition to the team who propelled this organization in <1 year.

Getting asked about how academics can continue to do science & inspire trainees even in the midst of a continued (escalated) assault on science, reason, truth, & human rights. I don’t have great answers.
I would love to hear from mentors about advice they’re giving to trainees/ colleagues.
NIH funding underlies all of these advances--support fundamental science, and the bridge from there to the clinic 🧪
