Our Cell Death in Immunity and Inflammation session was phenomenal today at #ASBMB2026.
A pleasure to co-organize this with Cornelius Taabazuing @taabaman.bsky.social.

Looking forward to present some of our lab research at #ASBMB2026 @asbmb.bsky.social next month in DC! Appreciate the invitation.
Congrats Yue and Shruti! Super exciting findings!
Congrats, Alex & team! Super cool mechanistic study.
It’s depressing to go back on my PhD order list sheet and see the price of the same reagents my lab uses today.
Congrats, Ivan & team! Nice to see it final version.
Very excited to share my lab's first publication in the format of a minireview at @asm.org mBio! Here, we discuss the historical context and current understanding of host immunity to C. difficile infection. #immunology

Given the SCOTUS ruling yesterday, it's seems possible....even highly likely....that the NIH IDC ruling will now only apply to the states that filed. If you're in a red state, that means 15% IDCs might be a reality soon.
NSF, NASA and NIH budgets per year, inflation adjusted from 2000-2025 along with the proposed cuts. NSF includes research component only. Massive cuts across all sectors, well below support spanning 25 years.
How bad will it be? Catastrophic.
Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.
But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget.
Speak up now before it is too late.

Love worms, molecular genetics, and big questions? We’re hiring a postdoc to build a CRISPRa toolkit to identify new aging mechanisms in C. elegans.
Email or DM me to find out more. Please share & repost!
Congrats, Kathleen!
In 2024 NIH grant awards supported 407,782 jobs and $94.58 billion in new economic activity nationwide, the largest figure in the history of the report. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...
It’s official!!! Congratulations! 🥳🥳
Tom Maniatis coming in hot in @CellCellPress
to spell out in no uncertain terms what cutting indirect cost rates to 15% will cost science.
And a call to action: "A united front...is essential to preventing this devastating policy from taking effect." 💯

JUST IN: A federal judge in Massachusetts has blocked the Trump administration's rate change to NIH grants.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Attorney General Andrea Campbell of Massachusetts sued the Trump administration, alongside 21 other states, over its efforts to drastically reduce federal funding for biomedical research.
Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.
But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
This is a list of blockbuster drugs in 2024. Guess how many can trace their origins to NIH funded research?
All of them.
Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.
