Wow! This so amazing! Thanks thank you for this acknowledgment and thank you International Society of Differentiation and Society for Developmental Biology for this recognition. It’s been an amazing year for me and I appreciate it more than I can say.

On Valentine’s day, 15 Assistant Professors at NIH who had started their research labs in the last 2 years were fired. Their scientific expertise was built over 10-12 years of training, most if not all of which was supported by NIH.  The start up funds for their laboratories were

paid by NIH. Thus a huge investment that NIH made in these talented investigators was wasted. There is nothing “efficient” about what is happening to the NIH. Ultimately it will decimate the US scientific research enterprise, and some of that cost will be paid in human lives.

SDB President-elect Richard Behringer & President Carole LaBonne published a piece in The Hill on how the President's executive order "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" ignores science. bit.ly/41OM694

Director of the Nat'l Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD) was summarily dismissed yesterday. Here's your reminder that birth defects kill twice as many American kids as cancer but there is no St. Jude's for birth defects. Only the NICHD. nature.com/articles/d4158…

A ruling on Friday sets up the next chapter of the legal battle between the Trump administration and stakeholders in academic research. trib.al/FOMS6Bz

The Behringer Lab! Richard Behringer 20 years ago! I think it’s time for a reunion.

YES!!

Trump ripped NIH funding away from scientists already working on cures for cancer, Alzheimer’s, and more. For me, this is personal.

It is absolutely crazy to think we no longer need model organism research. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
