“I’m grateful for being here, for being able to think, for being able to see, for being able to taste, for appreciating love – for knowing that it exists in a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, and yet love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.” —Maya Angelou

If PIs can be patient with GMs and POs, that would be great.
While the government was shut down, 379 NIH study section meetings (containing 24,380 grant applications) were postponed. NIH is committed to getting these reviewed, but please be patient and understanding with staff, as this is a complex and heavy lift.

Kicked off #GSA2025 with a bang serving as a discussant for Gali Weissberger’s panel “Unraveling Financial Exploitation in Older Adults: A Multidimensional Approach”. It was a great panel and Daisy Noriega-Makarskyy did an amazing job presenting her work from our lab! @geronsociety.bsky.social

2. To qualify, individuals must earn less than $15,060 a year ($20,440 for two people)—a stark reminder of how many are living on the edge. With the poverty rate among older adults now at 15%, cutting food assistance isn’t just shortsighted—it’s dangerous.

@markhisted.org explains the importance of the #NIH ICO directors being non-partisan civil servants as opposed to political appointees. Search committees must choose them based on their leadership and scientific expertise.
The NIH institute director firing last Friday is very bad.

I made a video explainer about why.

Stay for last post, w link to @science.org story from @jocelynkaiser.bsky.social
