A strong statement from school chancellor in Wisconsin. Nothing like this has been said yet (to my knowledge) by Utah’s college and university leaders.

Wesley Sundquist, PhD, was named one of #TIME100 most influential people. His research at #UofUHealth led to lenacapavir, a drug preventing HIV with nearly 100% efficacy. Congrats, Dr. Sundquist! 👏 #HIVResearch #Science U of Utah Dept of Biochemistry UofUHealthResearch

Stunning. With rollout of the RSV vaccine and treatment for babies <8 months old, RSV hospitalizations fell >50%. By comparison, for toddlers and kids <5 years who were not covered by these advances, RSV hospitalizations did not fall.

The saddest thing about this is academic science doesn’t reward software development, and many fields have serious tech debt that’s a huge drag on scientific productivity.

Another new job Arcadia Science! If you: - are an experimentalist who can work with a range of organisms (including but not limited to unicellular eukaryotes) - can design experiments to test our computational predictions - can do high dimensional phenotyping/data analysis

Not sure there’s ever been a CBO score as politically toxic as Trump’s budget bill. It rips food and medicine from the poor to fund tax cuts for the rich — while still managing to blow up the deficit. It’s cruelty and fiscal ruin, all in one.

BREAKING: In a serious blow to US pandemic flu preparedness, HHS has cancelled a contract with Moderna to test and license prototype vaccines for #H5N1 #birdflu and other potential pandemic viruses. In a pandemic, mRNA is the fastest way to vaccine doses. statnews.com/2025/05/28/mod…

The administration’s proposal to convert scientist positions to Schedule F—political appointees—has enormous implications for the independence of program managers and institute directors. If you have comments about the proposed change, submit by June 7.

The idea that the conduct of research at independent institutions for the benefit of all Americans should be motivated by being "in sync... with the administration", and not by truth regardless of politics, is utterly and profoundly against the core ideals of America

Can't believe Joni Ernst needs this explained to her, but here goes: It is immoral and un-Christian to do nothing to prevent people from dying. Seems obvious, but unfortunately the GOP is hellbent on putting their own constituents at risk.

The true cost of indiscriminate funding cuts isn’t just felt today. It will be felt for years to come. We’re not just losing scientists & research, we’re losing potential breakthroughs. Let’s be clear: this isn’t saving money. It’s dismantling a public good meant to serve us all.

Well said. We've seen the impact of Utah's genetics research. Federal funding cuts will be devastating for years to come sltrib.com/opinion/commen…
