Thought I'd practice with the new "tool" grants.nih.gov/funding/expl...

Look what I found.. grants.gov/search-resul...

This is a great piece and very helpful. One other problem I see among my colleagues is that we as scientists struggle to think and act collectively. Many people’s impulse and inclination is to focus even harder on the immediate needs of their own lab/career. But that will lose us precious time.

I've pitched versions of this idea to a number of NIH scientists, as well as university researchers over the last six weeks or so. So I decided to put it together into a post.

⚖️ Terminated NIH grant litigation update:

There's a hearing on a motion for preliminary injunction today at 11:30a EDT in Mass. v RFK et al, a case brought by some states against HHS. This is 1 of 2 diff. cases on this topic.

I'll be live-tweeting it later this morning. Check back on this thread.

Some may not know King Holmes—but none of us would be doing this work, in the way we do it, without him. A mentor to generations of researchers and policymakers, he shaped the #STI and #HIV fields in lasting ways. He passed last month, www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/s...

My grandfather, great uncle, and mother died of pancreatic cancer. This is phenomenal stuff
Unbelievable news.

Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers.

New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

Everyone who ever got funding through NIAID should be aware of this bill and start sending messages to their US legislators. The bill intends to dissolve NIAID. This is Project 2025
