@chorye the K?

This one is hard to see. The NIH Early Independence Award, one of the most competitive grants in the country for young scientists, will not go forward in FY2026. NIH says this is due to “administrative changes to funding opportunity processing and delays in approvals.”

@GlobeBobRyan This is crazy. It’s like comparing Mozart to Beethoven.

Gretzky was a great offensive machine. That’s undeniable. Orr was an unparalleled two-way player whose career was cut short by injury. Orr was a better PLAYER.

@PalmerDesigns_ You mean Yalta, 1945

Red Sox Owner John Henry flew to Kansas City today to have a 1-on-1 meeting with Rafael Devers.

@_TyAnderson At least it’s not 9 out of 10

Summer of Bres!

The staffing crunch is so severe that the NIMH has asked its intramural grad students and postdocs to volunteer in this admin capacity temporarily. Also: the institute's acting deputy director - the second in charge - is devoting half of her time to grants management.

@jpodhoretz Hmm. You mean I am not the only one who liked Jane Eyre more than Wuthering Heights?

The Guardian’s panel has chosen the 100 greatest novels of all time and has put BELOVED second. That is among the most ludicrous aesthetic judgments in the annals of Western culture. Embarrassing tokenism.

NEW: A serious staffing shortage — of the Trump admin's own making — is delaying the agency's ability to send billions to universities around the US, leaving labs reeling. “I thought we were at rock bottom”, a senior NIH official said. “We are below rock bottom now.”

@FastbreakHoops5 Cazzie Russell, UM

What player made you fall in love with basketball?

Note: @Doudna_lab is not an official account and appears to be impersonating the lab. We are working to have it taken down.

@joeBondyDenomy @fraser_lab Tough to beat a $500 million payroll

Lauer should have been game 3 WS hero. I listened to the whole game on the radio with @fraser_lab while driving to LA for game 4 with our boys. What could have been...

@GinoHard_ @PeteYannopoulos Which one is the multimillionaire athlete. . .

5'9" Lane Hutson linked up with 7'9" Olivier Rioux, the tallest player in college basketball history 😳 (via @PeteYannopoulos)

We need a more nimble regulatory framework for outbreaks like hantavirus. There is already a compelling therapeutic candidate: a human mAb isolated from a recovered patient, with strong preclinical activity against the Andes variant. Yet access remains months to years away.

@BeenHim16 3’s

How tf did Boston lose to the Sixers???

A short write-up about the journey of our lab. Starting as T cell immunologists, we stumbled across Wnt signaling in flies and frogs. Worked on colon cancer. Then Nick Barker (left) discovered the gut stem cell and Toshi Sato invented organoids authors.elsevier.com/a/1n3No6tu0CxX…

@Swaybeaut Insanity

I will just never understand this infatuation with Tkachuk

Ever wondered why only inflammasomes that use ASC, but not those that do not use ASC, can mature IL-1β? ASC helps to recruit pro-IL-1β to ASC for caspase-1 processing! See: "Inflammasome adaptor protein ASC is a mechanistic checkpoint in IL-1β maturation" pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@PeteBlackburn McKenna would last as long as Seguin with Bs

Unfortunately for Fraser Minten I now need him to be twice as good as Gavin McKenna
