Listed are some of the many NIH research training programs that were terminated! Together, these programs supported thousands of trainees, whose careers are now in limbo. Such a great loss for discovery and innovation. We must protect our next generation of scientists!

We LOVE our trainees ! From @nihvigils.bsky.social today ❤️❤️

Dear all,

Postdoc positions are available to work on (1) the role of DNA strand break repair proteins during DNA replication and (2) the molecular/structural biology of XRCC1 protein complexes, as part of our work on genetic diseases & cancer. Contact me if interested: k.w.caldecott@sussex.ac.uk

I wonder why I haven’t seen anyone use the phrase “Brain Drain” in anticipation of the consequences of current or potential policy changes:

I am a recipient of this supplement program. It helped me, a first gen American, get through my training. How many people like me are going to disappear from STEM?
There is a lot of bad news this week, but the end of the NIH diversity supplement program is hitting hard. I will be looking here for ideas about direct action.
