A huge missing piece in the public discourse about federal funding at universities is that these are not handouts but are instead used to address challenges that the government considers important for the country and scientific progress. There is a massive disconnect here. 1/5

So what's happening with medical research in the US? This is the cumulative award count from the NIH for the year. Doesn't look so good. But it gets worse. 1/

An in depth expose of the attack on and illegal halting of @NIH funding! For so long there’s been bipartisan support for science and medicine. This is not the way to enact reform..and it is devastating science in the US, especially medical schools theatlantic.com/health/archi…

Inside the Collapse at the NIH

Administration officials pressured the NIH to avoid clear advice from the agency’s own lawyers to restart grant funding now.

I'm quoted in this article on how NIH is still blocked from funding new grants. This sabotage makes no sense. Nearly every medicine or treatment you've ever received has roots in NIH-funded research, and every $1 of NIH spending generates $2.46 in returns. wbur.org/news/2025/02/24/can…

Canceled meetings and confusion: NIH grant funding in limbo despite court injunction

Science researchers awaiting National Institutes of Health funding say their grant meetings are being canceled, despite a court order blocking the Trump administration from freezing federal funds.

🔊 ATTN @NIH @NSF and VA funded scientists: love hearing about your papers here but please acknowledge UPFRONT that your beautiful science was enabled by federal funds Please do the same when you give talks or lectures, AND during your interviews with lay media and podcasters

Many in biotech/private sector are boasting about their ways of funding and doing science But they are staffed with PhDs and postdocs we train in our @NIH and @NSF funded labs in universities With uni labs lacking funds to train, the private sector will be profoundly harmed

If you want to “Make America Healthy Again,” one of the worst things you can do is slash the budget of the world's largest public funder of biomedical research, the National Institutes of Health.

These great public universities in GOP states will lose at least $1 billion due to Trump NIH cuts. I wonder how their senators feel about decimating their universities of innovation… @tedcruz @JohnCornyn @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty @jameslankford @MarkwayneMullin @JerryMoran @RogerMarshallMD @KatieBrittforAL @TTuberville @SenTuberville @SenKatieBritt @ScottforFlorida @AshleyMoodyFL @RogerWicker @cindyhydesmith @RandPaul @SenMcConnell @LindseyGrahamSC @votetimscott @SenatorTimScott @DebforNebraska @PeteRicketts

New article by @KruRyno where he shows that facial dominance predicts intelligence. Children expect dominant-looking individuals to be "really smart." Less consistent in these data was a gender stereotype about intelligence. nature.com/articles/s41598-0…
