Very excited to share our new paper out now in @MolecularCell. We show how U1 snRNP -a well-known splicing factor- regulates the activity of alternative promoters in human cells cell.com/molecular-cell…

This is simultaneously insane and an attack on universities - especially public ones- but also a system administrations have exploited to feed their exploding bureaucracies that should have fixed long ago.
NIH@NIH
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

The first NIH grant I've ever written, with my dream mentor and dream topic, just disappeared. Eliminated today, just like that, thanks to the recent 'Executive Order on Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing'
Hundreds of hours of work, just gone.

Just heard from a colleague that his PhD students’ NIH fellowship proposals will be affected too. NIH grants not only support biomed and biotech research, but also the training of American PHD and MD students. Trump just helped achieve what no US enemy could dream to achieve.

“Panels that were scheduled to review grant proposals also received eleventh-hour word that they wouldn’t be meeting.” This is how you make America competitive again? By halting your country’s biomedical research and technology development?

No study section...no grant reviews
No grant reviews...no grants awarded
No grants awarded...no research
No research...no functional NIH
And if your salary was funded by NIH, no paycheck either if this lasts indefinitely

@FlyEyeLab @NatEyeInstitute @IUBloomington @IUBiology Congrats. Well deserved. And you are lucky this happened before the pause in everything NIH.

NoA for my new NIH grant arrived today! Many thanks to the National Eye Institute for what will be 27 years of continuous and generous funding of my studies into the mechanisms underlying Drosophila eye specification and patterning. @NatEyeInstitute @IUBloomington @IUBiology

@joshuasweitz This will end up killing people and delaying future cures. Beyond fucked up

When the new admin cancels NIH study sections this is what it means:
The US human health and biomedical science pipeline dries up, programs in all 50 states are impacted, and global leadership in research and development is threatened because of new administration restrictions.
English
This is beyond destructive to scientific progress.
