And taught me to ask questions, answer questions, and present data both orally and written, skills that I now try to pass on. All my best wishes to Jon on his retirement.
I'll always remember how he could show up to a seminar 10 minutes late and ask a great question one minute later.

99.4% of new drugs approved by the FDA are the product of NIH funded research.
Remember this every time you see another headline on the NIH funding cuts.
It will directly impact YOU.

I'm sorry for raining on this parade, but the "transgender mice" talking point is bullshit, but not because someone mistook "transgenic" for "transgender."
The blog post that kicked it off (from a partisan bullshit website) listed a number of papers testing the effects of sex hormones on animals.

Big congratulations to my graduate mentor on his retirement! Jon is a classic academic, and I got the best training there. In my mind, the Cooper lab will exist at the Hutch forever.
Today we’re celebrating Dr. Jon Cooper’s retirement and his 40 years in Basic Sciences @fredhutch.bsky.social. We’re grateful for his many contributions to science and his service to Fred Hutch and the division, including serving nine years as division director. Congrats Jon!

My R01 was just assigned to a study section! (Not the one I asked for, but who can be picky right now?) And it finally has an ID number.
I'm going to choose to look at this as progress.

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.”
I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.
