Hey, organized are great. But they cannot replace animal models. Organoids need to be validated against animal models.

Academics and scientists take note:
We are in the fight of our lives for education and freedom. Penn and UVA are losing that fight, in part because faculty were not unified behind their leaders.
The fight for science is the fight for universities. They are the same. 🧪

Happy Independence Day! Today has me thinking about one of the things that has made the United States such a leader in the world: public investment in education and research. The U.S. has the greatest scientific capabilities and infrastructure, hands down.

“A CDC report found that among pregnant U.S. women infected with COVID-19, about 1 in 80 deliveries was a stillbirth — the loss of a fetus anytime after 20 weeks. That’s compared with 1 in 155 among uninfected women”
Pregnant women need access to Covid boosters.

It’s wild watching every advanced agency developed during my lifetime be destroyed on purpose, by people who want to profit from it and cheered on by those who will be hurt the most because they don't understand how things work.

Grant freezes versus terminations feel different, but they have the same practical effect.
We should start treating freezes as terminations, both of which can be undone by HHS / NIH whenever they want—or by court order if they refuse. They’re all illegal.

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

The termination of NIH grants threatens scientific freedom & could erase entire research fields for political reasons

99.4% of new drugs approved by the FDA are the product of NIH funded research.

Unfortunately, there was another round of FUNDED grants cancelled yesterday. These illegal cuts stop projects that have been in progress for years, interrupt lifesaving research, and destroy the public good of science in the US.

You can't use the parks budget to redo your backyard.
You can't use the highway budget to repave your driveway.
You can't use the police budget to hire a personal security guard.
And rich people can't use our public school budget to pay for private school.
Say no to vouchers.

Why does National Institutes of Health funding matter? It’s the fuel to find cures for:
- Cancer
- Alzheimer’s
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Pediatric Cancer
- ALS
- MS
- Parkinson’s
Trump tried to cut it, but thanks to AG Campbell, a judge blocked the cuts. This is why we fight.

I hope others will join in this. I am afraid there are way too many people who don’t understand how critical to our country strong federal funding for science is. How much depends on it. It is huge, and it is extraordinary.

Greg Abbott calls his voucher scam “school choice.”
But we already have school choice—neighborhood schools, charters, magnets, academies & more.
Vouchers don’t give us choice. Vouchers give our tax dollars to unaccountable private schools that can discriminate against our kids.
