This week's NIH Funding Notices is just filled with fascist rules for restricting DEI and making it easier to terminate any grant at the pleasure of the Regime. The payline is worse than anytime in history, and new restrictions are put in place continously. They want to kill research in the USA.

October 10, the day Trump WON'T win the Nobel Peace Prize. Prepare for angry, petulant posts, cruel executive orders, and vengeful reprisals against purported enemies.

A good amount of my career was spent researching how to cure this disease. The fight for affordable treatments and cures continues.

A shameless self-plug. But it does involve drinking beer.

Self-explanatory, but look at the impact cuts will have, if funding is not restored/maintained. Not to mention the loss of cutting-edge medical research that may save countless lives now and pave the way to remarkable cures in the not-too-distant future.

The Musk/Trump Regime will destroy the USA's preeminent global dominance of biomedical research. China will supplant us, followed by Europe. Hello, third-world shithole country status.

Just called MO Senators Hawley and Schmitt, and Representative Cleaver to stop the coup in DC. The Musk lock-in and likely computer tampering in the Treasury, and the mass firing of FBI agents are illegal. They constitute extreme attacks against the government. Tell Congress to exert its power!

First dumpster filled with 26 years of lab notebooks, old autorad films, and lab supply catalogs. Purging the laboratory of my history and ancient equipment is number one of the many steps moving towards my retirement in March. I will keep doing research as Professor Emeritus.
