.Paul Bieniasz: "In addition to the withholding of resources, American science is being further corroded by the installation of leadership that does not value or even understand science, and is clearly incapable of effectively leading it." theguardian.com/commentisfree/… #UnitedStates

What a contemptible bunch of thugs this administration is nytimes.com/2025/04/11/sci…

As RFK Jr. defends cuts to public health, experts warn of devastating effects that could haunt Americans for decades. “They’re breaking lots of stuff without knowing what they’re breaking.” —Georges Benjamin fortune.com/well/2025/04/1…

The decimation of American biomedical science by RFK, doge, et al. will go down as possibly the dumbest self-own in political history.

Joseph McCarthy would have been quite proud of this passage in the Trump Administration's letter to Harvard, which is a witch-hunting license. Harvard are right to say "Shove it".

Open access, peer reviewed, and co-owned, Journal of Human Immunity from Rockefeller U. Press represents a new business model in scientific publishing. Rockefeller's Jean-Laurent Casanova is the founding editor-in-chief. rockefeller.edu/news/37508-roc…

The Donald J. Trump Administration, with its almost dictatorial demands, has brought more unity to Harvard University faculty than there has been during the 21st century. Harvard was contributing to America before Trump and will be contributing long after Trump.

Every day some fundamental principle is violated by the bunch of thugs we have leading this country. The appropriate response from academic journal editors to letters of this type is "F**k off, that's none of your godamn business"

“War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, Trump knows what he is doing”

The aftermath of COVID includes some nice new friendships in DC. Paul Bieniasz

The charlatan takeover of US biomedicine is complete

As grants started getting cancelled a few months ago, I felt compelled to give a voice to scientists whose work has been targeted & share with the public what they do & why it is so vital. Happy to announce the start of my new podcast, Science Amplified open.spotify.com/episode/6aUZHa…

Still figuring out some kinks, like getting onto Apple Podcasts, but we have 2 more episodes coming soon, with Ya'el Courtney, PhD and Rachel Marsh. Please share, especially with your non-scientist friends. I would love to keep interviewing, so please be in touch if interested!

In PNASNews: Paul Bieniasz's lab designed an algorithm that predicts which host genes will be regulated by zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) and identified a small subset of host genes that are ZAP-regulated in the context of an interferon response. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
