This is a great op-ed by Dr. Stanley about the effects of anti-science politicized attacks on "gain-of-function" research. Much of this research poses little risk and has huge benefits for people across the globe. If your research has been affected, please consider writing an op-ed like Dr. Stanley.
The NIH ordered me to stop my ‘dangerous’ gain-of-function research. It isn’t dangerous at all
Safe gain-of-function research is necessary to identify new treatments for diseases like for tuberculosis — but the NIH has imposed unfounded stops.

Happy to share that our collaboration with Christina
@stallingslab.bsky.social at WUSTL is out at @pnas.org ! Led by Erin Wang, they found that routing carbon away from peptidoglycans sensitizes Mtb to INH, even in DR-Mtb! Grateful to be part of this project!
