While I enjoy finding new science and chatting about various things, I won’t be doing much of it on this platform any longer. I can be found on basically every other platform.

A new #Immune dropped! On this episode we discuss a snippet on how olfactory macrophages maintain neurons and a paper on failure to establish long lived plasma cells following mRNA vaccination. youtu.be/niecXH7an_k

Jamie’s paper is out! We made Chimeric antigen receptor for feline infectious peritonitis, a deadly cat disease. While this is only preclinical, we hope to develop this in the future. instagram.com/p/DDpSnYZOIpL/…

What are “indirects costs” and why are they so high ? These are the institutional costs that allow the research to be conducted across all studies like: Utilities like heat, AC, water, electricity, phone & internet costs Facilities costs like rent, costs of the building and

NIH HVAC, electricity, building/ground maintenance, distilled H2O, dry CO2, N2, gases, radioactive, chemical, biohazard waste disposal/spills, instrument repairs, email, PPE, grants mgr, IT, IACUC, IRB, ethics/training courses, HR, payroll, mail, etc consume >>15% above res. grants.

NIH direct costs support researchers' salaries and equipment. indirect costs pay for heat, water, and electricity in the buildings, machine shops, libraries, infrastructure, repairs in the buildings, facilities, etc, without which research is impossible. administration is a small

NIH indirect costs fund the backbone of research: maintaining labs, ensuring safety, and supporting admin work. These are essential for groundbreaking discoveries. Drastic cuts to NIH indirect rates are detrimental to academic biomedical research.

Sarah Smith NIH Many colleges are spending more on student services partly due to changes in college demographics, as more first-generation, low-income, older and other nontraditional college students with varying needs make up a growing proportion of student populations

The indiscriminate and ill-conceived slashing of indirects by the NIH yesterday must be amended if want to restore America’s leadership role biomedical research. 15% simply isn’t enough for institutions to provide the basic infrastructure needed to run a successful lab. I say

“Why don’t universities pay research costs with their endowments” is a bad argument. Grants aren’t charity. These are contracts where universities are being paid to carry out work on behalf of the public. Why shouldn’t the government be expected to pay the full cost of the work

Funding from the NIH contributed to the development of 354 out of 356 (99.4%) of the new drugs approved by the FDA between 2010 and 2019, and 🚨 100% 🚨 of FDA approved drugs btw 2010-2016. NIH funding is the backbone of American biomedical innovation. #protecttheNIH

This spells disaster for American science. #braindrain

#Allergies can develop at any time during life, so some people develop them for the first time as adults. Cindy Leifer explains this could be because they move to a new area or are already increased risk to develop allergies. #ImmunologyExplained: ow.ly/mXyz50VBHei.
