.News Medical featured a study led by Berenice Benayoun (Bérénice A. Benayoun, PhD) that investigated the mechanisms that govern male and female differences in cognitive resilience and decline to understand the influence of biological sex on aging. news-medical.net/news/20250109/…

Now who’s going to pay to keep the lights on? Today, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a significant change in its policy regarding indirect costs for research grants. The maximum indirect cost rate that research institutions can charge the government has been

Sebastian S. Cocioba🪄🌷 They don’t. You can’t use direct costs to pay for out of category indirect costs. So your work now costs the university more than your grant pays. So it will be the end. Nearly every player will get out of the research game. Which was, of course, the point. Sad that a number of

This is absolutely insane. Clearly the arguments about damaging global US leadership in science were ineffective because they really just want to end research as is.

The National Institutes of Health plans to severely cut the percentage of its grant money that can be used for overhead costs rather than research. scim.ag/42LPG5S

This is bad for academia

I wasn’t planning on discussing this publicly (it’s nobody’s business) but after this bullshit MAHA EO, fuck it, it’s personal story time. Let’s talk safe meds. I lost ~75 pounds taking Ozempic. I don’t give a damn if I have to take it for the rest of my life, it fucking RULES.

No reasonable path to “efficiency” or American success involves firing scientists indiscriminately. The point is that it’s cruel and senseless

My time in industry convinced me of the importance of basic, government funded science research. It was crazy how much of the stuff we did was based directly on academic research that in-and-of-itself would have been too risky and/or too low-return for the company to do

I’m sorry for all those NIH who have lost their jobs. NIH has funded me for 25 years. 8 of those in UK. NIH is not perfect, but I have always felt it is trying to do the right thing. To fund the best science and to minimise bias and conflict of interest.

I was fortunate to be part of the NIH postbac intramural program after undergrad - a transformative experience that catalyzed my career and led me to where I am today. There is no world where we should we diminish investment in the next generation of our scientific researchers.

Friends, I am at a loss of words for how devastating it would be to lose the entire intramural #NIH program. Some of the biggest medical and scientific breakthroughs have come from scientists in the NIH Intramural program. #SaveTheNIH science.org/content/articl…
