Youngest runs into our bedroom at 6am, using her best loud whisper voice… Mom and Dad, I’m not going to wake you up but what time are you waking up today?

An absolute top-notch medical conference, year after year. Come join us in Bilbao!

A line graph shown the number of NIH new and competitive awards funded for fiscal year 2026 (through 2/13/26) compared with fiscal years 2021-2025. The fiscal year 2026 is lagging well behind with only 569 awards made through 2/13/26 compared to >2000 for previous fiscal years.

New and competitive renewal awards.

The number of awards is 569 compared with more than 2200 through the same date in earlier fiscal years.

All ICs have now made awards except for NIAAA, NCCIH, NLM, FIC, and OD. NEI (Eye Institute) made its first award during the new period.

Anti-immigrant policies have never been pro-business or America first. The ICE variety is distinctly anti-American. It’s always been about sowing division, consolidating power, and racism.

It’s a joke, Sarah. As you can see, millions of Americans are standing up and fighting for their safety, their communities, and their future. Any compassion from our international friends goes a long ways. Best wishes to you.

Dear world, Americans are collectively doing that “we’ve been kidnapped please help” hand signal

Our own government killed the proverbial good guy with a gun.

Time to wake up, America.

Every single one of us knows the goons from our old high school who are now signing on to be ICE officers…

ICU Nurses are the best of humanity. Hands down. #MINNESOTA_NoICE

Cooler than ICE

Minnesota Nice (ICE crossed out)

Reminder for those who say they get their values from that holy book, the verses are “love your neighbor”. No adjectives or conditions.

Just love your neighbor. That’s it.

Protein is code for toxic masculinity

Minneapolis remains one the greatest cities in the nation. MN remains an incredible state.

1. Support local immigrant-run and pro-immigrant businesses. Many are closed out of fear. Make donations if able.
2. Tell/show your neighbors you support them
3. Engage your representatives at every level

Hi Bob, it’s an absolute shame. Communities being ripped apart. People living in fear. Kids afraid to go to school.

The only sliver of hope: there remain great people here who care for their neighbors (regardless of where they come from), believe in kindness, and know diversity makes us great.
