I’m just sitting in shock processing this. Mike Lauer stood up for us and got fired. This is very sad to read and also I admire him so much for the heroic act of sending that memo. 😞
It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this:
Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

NEW: In a further sign of turmoil at the NIH, Mike Lauer, who oversees the agency's $39 billion extramural budget that goes to research outside the NIH, has resigned effective tomorrow.
This comes after top NIH official Larry Tabak abruptly retired yesterday.
