We recently published a #neuropathology case report describing how a gain-of-function mutation in #peroxisomal beta-oxidation (Mitchell Syndrome) affects human neuropathology. It seems certain cell types may be uniquely vulnerable, including sensory #neurons, motor neurons, and myelinating cells.

Academic medical centers are on the cutting edge of patient care. Why? Because they have the most talented physician-scientists…the doctors who skillfully combine clinical care and research. But NIH funding cuts could make it harder to attract top talent.

Does anyone actually understand quantum physics?

We asked six physicists why they’re still arguing after 100 years of quantum mechanics

“universities contributed patents underpinning 50% of FDA-approved drugs…

NIH-funded basic science has contributed to the development of more than 90% of new medicines, vaccines, and devices…

75% of scientists in America were considering leaving the country.”

Great conference at #emory for the Academy of Clinical Laboratory Physicians and Scientists ( #ACLPS ). Was terrific fun to present my work and a great honor to be one of the Young Investor with Distinction award winners. Thanks to #washu for the ongoing support. #clinicalpathology #pathology

The later portion of this podcast explores the economic benefit of investing in research.

The National Institutes of Health had to stop considering new grant applications, delaying funding for research into diseases ranging from heart disease and cancer to Alzheimer's and allergies.

A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants.

After an email asking for this episode, I am delighted to see it! A broader episode that also touches on how the pharmaceutical company relies on research funded by the NIH may be a great topic for @planetmoney.bsky.social

This game to help understand misinformation spreading was fun and educational. I recommend anyone spend ten minutes to play!

It was shared on Bluesky last week but I wanted to boost.

This is one of my favorite podcast episodes. It talks about polarization and disagreement with a focus on politics, but I think it can apply to conflict more broadly and has changed how I view the world. #AcademicChatter
