Definitely worth reading. Similar stories ongoing at other major research universities.

Agreed!

Hi Nino, while I’m not a “real” businessman, I’ve always thought of running the lab from the concept of running a business. I need to bring in money (though grants or other means) to pay my students, postdocs, and staff as well as buy supplies and equipment.Thanks for your feedback!

This is no way to run a bagel shop or a country Academic science in the US is being gutted by Trump

This is why supporting science and public health is more important than ever. We need independent experts guiding vaccine policy, not political appointees with an agenda.

It's time to #standupforscience2025 — join us on March 7th to advocate for science, health, and justice. ☀️

Philip, these are great! Makes it worthwhile to visit Bluesky. Thank you!

Thanks, Nino. Very nice slides that I hadn’t seen before. And many thanks to Philip Grandinetti for making them available!
