It might be silly, but being followed by Obama makes it hard for me to completely leave Twitter, even if I’m one of more than half a million accounts his account follows.
There's a banner at the top of the NIDDK website that reads, "Due to current HHS and NIH restructuring, the information provided on niddk.nih.gov is not being updated and may not be available in the future. Please refer to nih.gov."
Does anybody know what's happening at NIDDK?

Science/academia friends: we’re looking for examples of recent teaching lab renovations/construction. Any examples out there?

Horrible day for the country. The best I can do is try to make you smile with some Reddit posts about one of our classes.
It all started with a kiss (maybe many kisses)

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.

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities.
It's deadly to the US economy.
The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.

2. While NSF and NIH indeed have a mission to fund specific research innovations via grantmaking, they do a lot more than that.
Their principal role is support a scientific ecosystem in the United States, that includes everything from education and training to infrastructure and communication.

Had such a good time at my first #WCBR2025. Great science and some old friends I don’t see often. Looking forward to getting back next year, hopefully with NIH friends this time.

Always good to have an excuse to visit colleagues. It’s not often that five former #SSIB presidents are in the same room, at least outside of an SSIB meeting.
