Here Schwämmle et al. develop CRISPR reporter screens to map transcription-factor-regulatory element interactions at the Xist locus, revealing a two-step mechanism integrating developmental and X-dosage signals to initiate X-chromosome inactivation.

Let’s all place bets on what RFK Jr. identifies as the “causes” of autism in his upcoming blockbuster reveal.
I’ll take the low-hanging fruit and go with vaccines and heavy metals.
What he won’t acknowledge is the overwhelming contribution of genetics, because he can’t sue someone over that.

Jack White, 2028. This is how it’s done.
Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats.
Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

If this all sounds like a calculated plan to reduce the size of the federally funding biomedical research enterprise, I believe that is exactly what is it.
The notion that this "facilitates efficient management" of grants and the appropriation is, to use an official NIH term, horseshit.

To give people idea of what this means- this is how they make it look like they are getting money out the door but they are doing this to make drastic cuts- instead of spending 1 year worth of funds spread out they are concentrating funds on fewer grants. Public science is getting decapitated
NIH staff are being required to fully fund ~ 50% of their grants. This means that all 4 years of an award will be paid out of this appropriation. This will help them get the appropriated funds spent, but will mean they can only fund (1/2 + 1/4*1/2) = 5/8 has many grants as they would have otherwise.

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem
Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals.
What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research.
Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out.
