events.columbia.edu/go/tom_maniati… A day dedicated in the history of molecular biology and genomics that should not be missed. Come learn how everything started, from the first cDNA to Precision Medicine. Celebrating Tom Maniatis!

It was fun visiting umich! Glad to see Josie Clowney is doing so well! She has kept the “lomvardas lab spirit” (ucsf) alive ! :)

Roy and Diana Vagelos are the biggest benefactors in the history of Columbia University, with unprecedented gifts that transformed our science and our teaching. Yet, it is their ethos, their values, and their infectious kindness that have changed our medical school for ever! 🙏

How to scare a researcher!

Beyond grateful to share two co-first author papers that came out in nature!! With Amit Vinograd, we provide causal evidence for a line attractor in the mammalian brain! And with Mengyu Liu 刘孟宇, we show that line attractors might be a common mechanism for emotions beyond anger!

Tom Maniatis, #LaskerLaureate tells us how his lab created the first DNA library, and why they shared it with scientists around the world. Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute @NYGenome

3 major problems with NIH funding are: 1) grants are given for work already largely completed (you read right); better would be for past performance & future, high-payoff plans 2) older labs have too many grants & the young fresh ideas labs can’t get funded 3) outdated budgets

Dallas is cool…

Hey Elon Musk & DOGE: willing to eventually share the budget expenditures of NIH from the last 4 years? Many other prior & currently NIH funded labs (& those aspiring for funding) were surprised the Brain Research Initiative was cut by 40% Where did this and other funds go?

Great article by Tom Maniatis on the importance of the NIH

From Tom Maniatis, a succinct summary of how American science infrastructure has been supported and the devastating effects of cutting down to a federal 15% cap will have: "The impact of this decision, if implemented, will be immediate and far-reaching." cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Investing in science is investing in the future. We’re driving discoveries that will transform our approach to brain health and these breakthroughs rely on continued support. #StandUpForScience2025

Honored to speak at Tsien@80—a beautiful reminder that mentorship, curiosity, and generosity leave the deepest legacy. Thank you, Dick Tsien, for welcoming me into your scientific family. Happy 80th! 🎉 #DickTsien80

Brandon is an undergraduate and a US army veteran who served in Afghanistan. He has been working tirelessly in my lab for the last year. Columbia has the highest number of veterans across Ivy League schools. The GI bill will not support them if Columbia looses its accreditation.
