To my network… Please consider following Dr. Catharine Young as I find myself wanting to retweet almost everything she says. Her voice is important and should be amplified by scientists. This is not the time to remain silent and hope things get better. Thank you for considering.

This chart unfortunately says it all. NIH funding for new research grants under Trump 2025 is falling far far behind past administrations. This isn’t just slowing science - it is undermining America’s global leadership in research and innovation.

Collaborating with colleagues across Engineering and Medicine, Hai-Quan Mao—Johns Hopkins MatSci Professor and the Director of The Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology —is putting his materials expertise to work fighting cancer, malaria, and nerve and tissue damage.
