At Purdue, I co-direct the Clinical and Translational Nutrition Research Lab with my better half. Our work tries to comprehensively examine renal nutrition problems. We are lucky to have a great group of undergraduate and graduate students, visiting scholars, and an amazing lab tech/manager!

Did you know that science labs work like small business entrepreneurs? Faculty hired on strength of ideas, get some startup $ to last 3-4 yrs. After that is grants- grants pay all our + our trainees’ salaries + scientific work. Funding in this country is frozen. That means scientific work stops

We have a new EO launching the MAHA Commission. There's a lot of enthusiasm in nutrition spaces that MAHA will finally bring a spotlight to food, but I have a number of concerns - from un-serious descriptions of the problems we face to chemophobic dogwhistles

Interpretation for the non-scientists: When faculty get NIH grants, the University gets some extra cash to make sure the research is supported. NIH just cut that $$ by a LOT. That means Unis are less likely to support research. Most research in the US is done at Unis, so... it's bad 🧪

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

I must say, I'm loving the #BlueSky feeling so far. It feels like *you know what* circa 2016, which was when I started getting engaged with the Nephrology SoMe and @nephjc.bsky.social communities.
