A Moon Halo So Perfect
Last night over New York, a flawless 22° ice-crystal halo formed around the full Moon — a radiant circle shining above the Statue of Liberty.

Over the last century, research has helped improve the early detection and treatment of serious diseases. But future progress is at risk unless we continue federal funding for medical research.

World-renowned cell biologist Ron Vale will join Whitehead Institute this December as a Member. Known for discovering the motor protein kinesin, he will explore how proteins function under different stressors—a direction that aligns with the Institute's focus on resilience.

I love AlphaFold—but please include PAE (Predicted Aligned Error) plots for every “interaction.” Pretty PDBs ≠ proof. If the PAE doesn’t show an interface, it ain’t one. Show the plots. Structural biology's reputation is on the line.

One of the more in-depth pieces I've seen on how the abrupt switch to multi year funding is harming biomedical research. Luckily, the proposed FY26 Senate appropriations bill has protections against this. Just another reason why we can't have a CR that's a blank check.
How New Trump Multiyear Policy Makes NIH Grants Even Harder To Get
The new Trump administration multiyear funding policy for NIH grants has dropped National Cancer Institute grant funding rates from one in 10 applicants to one in 25.
