An incredible first hand account of the chaos that has ensued in NIH funded research labs and its far reaching impact on the future of cancer research.

Some journals are claiming that you need to pay big $$ for gold open access to comply with NIH's new public access policy. FYI that is total bs. You can comply by depositing the Accepted Manuscript into PubMed Central on the Date of Publication without embargo. Pass it on.

This is an incredibly informative piece on critical animal research in surprising ways. Please read.

Now is a critical time for colleges and universities to coordinate a collective fight to protect our missions and freedom of expression.

Please consider signing in solidarity with colleagues at UMass Amherst and other universities targeted by recent threats.

It’s my birthday! It should be a happy day, but I can’t stop thinking about the personal domino effects that are likely to happen as a direct result of the drastic changes happening in our government. 1/n

To my friends and colleagues at UAB, IU, UF, FSU, UL, WashU, OSU, CWRU, etc, etc. Call both your senators and your representative. They listen. Emphasize the direct economic impact of NIH research, and the indirect impacts on pharmaceutical/biotech. Underscore its relevance to national security.
The Senate HELP Committee has jurisdiction over NIH.

GOP members of the committee represent AK, AL, IN, FL, KS, KY, LA, ME, MO, OH, and SC.

Research universities and hospitals in those states need to be extra loud.

Is the "temporary pause" of disbursement of all federal grants/loans an unlawful impoundment? It almost certainly is. A brief 🧵
NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.

Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

No study section...no grant reviews
No grant reviews...no grants awarded
No grants awarded...no research
No research...no functional NIH
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

My NIH study section that was to meet tomorrow was one of those canceled. This represents many months of work by the applicants and by the NIH staff and reviewers. Devastating is the correct word.
