“Here we are again dealing with the same stuff, the same frustration,” said Melissa Bush, a student at Pennsylvania Western University who is waiting on almost $2,500 in aid for the fall semester. While she’s confident the money will arrive, it’s demoralizing to deal with more holdups, she said.”
Thousands of Pa. college students wait for key financial aid due to state budget impasse
Last year’s aid was also delayed, due to federal data glitches and a botched software rollout.

Three weeks before the Nobel announcements. Who will win the Nobel in literature this year? I think it will be either László Krasznahorkai or Gerald Murnane.

A study of nearly 300,000 people published today in the New England Journal of Medicine found “that last season’s 2024–2025 mRNA COVID vaccines reduced people’s risk of emergency department visits by 29 percent, their risk of hospitalizations by 39 percent and their risk of death by 64 percent.”
Annual COVID Vaccines Save Lives, New Study Shows
A new study shows that receiving an updated COVID vaccine reduced people’s risk of severe disease and death in all age groups, regardless of immunity from prior infection or vaccination

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Penn historian Ben Nathans with an op-ed in our campus newspaper:

"No self-respecting university that values its autonomy and the integrity of its teaching and research should sign the compact."
Benjamin Nathans | Autonomy or obedience
Guest Columnist Benjamin Nathans urges Penn’s leadership to resist the White House’s demands in its “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.”

Look at the size of this photomultiplier tube in the Nobel Prize museum. Imagine doing two photon imaging with one of those!

Relatively simple experiments with far-reaching insights.

Great story in the obit… “I believe Gurdon has ideas about becoming a scientist. On present showing, this is quite ridiculous.”

Dr. John Gurdon, a British biologist and Nobel laureate who in the early 1960s introduced a paradigm-shifting method of cell manipulation that led to the world’s first cloning of a large mammal, a sheep named Dolly, died on Tuesday at 92.
John B. Gurdon, 92, Dies; Nobelist Paved Way for Cloning of Animals
His work in the manipulation of cells laid the foundation for stem cell biology and regenerative medicine and led to the first cloned large mammal, a sheep named Dolly.

This is two stories in one: a case study/cautionary tale on developing genetic tools in new organisms, and the first hint at a gene regulatory network for choanoflagellate multicellular development (which turn out to involve a Hippo/YAP/ECM loop!) A 🧵

1M+ people live with SYNGAP1-related conditions, which can include severe seizures.

For the first time in mice models, gene therapy has reversed symptoms, even after onset. The breakthrough was achieved in collaboration with BioMarin.
