Our undergraduate student, Dev, was selected to present at the 2025 President’s Showcase of Research Excellence. This is on top of being awarded the 2025 IDEA grant that helped Dev develop his research project this last summer. Congrats, Dev, well deserved!

The journal @nature.com compiles a list of leading research institutions ranked by counts of "high-quality research outputs." (www.nature.com/nature-index...) Surely not definitive, but the change over the six years from 2018 to 2024 is astonishing. (1/5)

14 pages of terminated NIH grants--everyone should read through the list. The sweep is VERY broad, including "The Impact of the Herpes Zoster Vaccine on Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus" & "Mitochondrial-based Determinants of Sex Differences in Acute Kidney Injury"🧪 1/n

She left Canada because, I believe, women were not allow to pursue research careers. She went to Berlin, then U of Chicago, then U of Pittsburgh where she spent the bulk of her career. She was even (eventually) promoted to full professor.
Ever wondered about who Michaelis and Menton were? Learn more here…
On this day in 1879, Maud Menten was born in Port Lambton, Ontario.
In her work as a medical researcher, she became a leading expert in histochemistry and enzyme kinetics while fighting against sexism in her field.
Let's learn more about her life!

It appears that the overarching UM grant for the Utah Clinical and Translational Science Awards was terminated. It is no longer in NIH Reporter.
Here is the abstract. Too much focus on health equity, health disparities, and underserved populations...
