Hey @buffalonews.com! I’ve been trying to find your coverage of the Trump administration’s destruction of science. You interested in covering a story that has tremendous economic and social impact to our region?

Rep’s office said, “we are getting a lot of calls on this today.” Keep calling, they keep track!
Time to call our reps! If you work where I work, come on down to L4-201 from now to 4PM and grab a Paula’s donut! We’ve got numbers and scripts to make it easy!

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

Big news for the new year! The Wilde Lab is launching @roswellpark.bsky.social. Our focus is metabolism and tumor initiation. We use oncometabolite-driven tumors to study mechanisms of initiation and identify tumor-preventative treatments. Excited to build a team of curious, innovative scientists!

(1/2) I’ve been happy but puzzled by the recent success of mut-IDH inhibitors. Some tumors lose mutant allele through CNA yet continue to progress, suggesting mut-IDH is essential for initiation but may be dispensable for progression. Seems to be context dependent.
