This may be the most important paper ever published about NIH funded research.

What if NIH had been 40% smaller?

Reprogramming neuroblastoma by diet-enhanced polyamine depletion - Nature

Enhanced polyamine depletion in neuroblastoma models decreases translation of mRNA codons with adenosine in the third position, reprogramming the tumour proteome away from cell cycle progression and towards differentiation.

Today, the New York Times published a long essay glorifying Jay Bhattacharya, the Trump NIH director. What?⁉️

Here’s the explanation:
That essay was written by the editor of a Trumpist Republican journal, funded by a Trumpist org that hates science.
SHAME on the Times. 🧪1/

"151 Writing in National Review, the journal's editor Adam Keiper described The New Atlantis as being written from a "particularly American and conservative way of thinking about both the blessings and the burdens of modern science and technology". 61 New Atlantis authors and bioethicists publishing in other journals have also similarly referred to The New Atlantis as being written from a social conservative stance that

People are dying, and many more will in the future because people in charge who, either, don’t understand how the system works, OR, are dead set on destroying it, are crushing every aspect of research, preclinical through clinical. We HAVE to stop these attacks on NIH

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Also scientists:

This radical Supreme Court is likely to both allow illegal grant terminations, and prevent you from winning new grants — when they allow wholesale NIH firings in the RIF case. Total Court reform is needed.

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

It's not just #NIH. It's not just #NSF. It's not just #NASA.

The whole scientific community has to make clear that all science across fed agencies is being destroyed in the US.

We can't just ask for our particular piece of the pie. The whole pie is being thrown out - saving your bit won't work.

I know it's been said but I keep getting re-infuriated about RFK Jr doing his thing, like we had this vaccines thing *settled*, they rule and they were working and all we had to do was NOT put the worst possible person in charge of the country's public health apparatus.
