The full ruling explaining why NIH grant cuts are illegal came out today.
It's just as blistering as the judge's oral remarks. And it uncovers fresh details in DOGE's role orchestrating the cuts — and on the cuts at Columbia.
Here are my top highlights from the 103-page ruling. 🧵

After ruling the NIH grant cuts were illegal yesterday, Judge Young, a Reagan appointee on the bench since 1985, ended the hearing with a blistering 15-minute speech.

Judge rules against NIH grant cuts — and calls them discriminatory
The decision means that the US biomedical agency has to restore funding to hundreds of research projects, but the government will likely appeal.

So glad to see @glaucomflecken.bsky.social here, I hope he has a tic tok to examine the “who is alive” scheme oMark cooked up in #Severance
Will it work? Unlikely.
Could it fry your eyeballs? Quite possibly. Definitely.
Can iMark reply in kind without further damaging said eyeballs? No.

Amazing NIH-funded grad students in my lab at Pitt have made important discoveries re: OCD/anxiety that will lead to better treatments for all Americans.
Loss of young passionate talent breaks the US biomedical pipeline. Freezing appropriated NIH funds led to this heartbreaking unnecessary waste 💔

This breaks my heart 💔
Some of my most incredible trainees were Pitt PhDs, and I helped run the neuro grad program (CNUP) for a few years - one of the best and largest in the country
I know this is the fiscally responsible thing to do but still, it is infuriating
