@HoodiDrake He has been injured.

Someone explain to me what’s happened to Ja’Lynn Polk.

@MikeReiss Nice!

The Patriots select Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson with their second-round pick (No. 38). 🏈 5-foot-10, 202 pounds 🏈 4.43 in the 40 🏈 1,016 yards, averaging 7.1 avg. per carry in 2024 🏈 27 catches for 284 yards in 2024 🏈 48 career TDs

Did you know? 99% of all new medications resulted from federally-funded university research through @NIH. Learn more about #ResearchSavesLives: hub.jhu.edu/research-saves….

@EricJNestler @IcahnMountSinai Congrats!

This is a tremendous honor. I look forward to working with my many outstanding colleagues - faculty, trainees, and staff - to continue Mount Sinai's spectacular upward trajectory. An enormous thank you to Dennis Charney for his leadership over the past 20 years. @IcahnMountSinai

@ScottRussoPhD Congrats!

I’m very much looking forward to taking on this new role! Stayed tuned for the outstanding #BrainBody science from our world class faculty and trainees.

President Trump and Elon Musk’s funding cuts to groundbreaking medical research do NOT Make America Great. That’s why I’m on the Senate floor introducing a resolution pledging support for NIH & asking for immediate passage. Watch. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@SenatorDurbin Thank you. Scientific advancement does make America great.

The Trump administration's efforts to slash research funding have US graduate students, postdocs and other early-career scientists fearing for their careers. Some are considering changing jobs or leaving the country. Others say them might abandon research altogether. go.nature.com/4hO8k1u

NIH grant cuts put Ohio State research at risk of losing up to $49 million, reports estimate thelantern.com/2025/02/nih-gr…

About a month after Donald Trump took office as the 47th US president, almost all grant-review meetings remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget. go.nature.com/4k8Njjx

Some of my friends lost their government jobs today in the Valentine’s Day massacre. Skilled Americans working science jobs. Not wasteful or fraudulent. Hard working and tax paying Americans with families. For what reason?

The cut of indirect funds from the NIH (from 50% to 15 at OSU) is not retroactive. Which is good. Power is still on! No job losses. Not a great start to a Monday, but not as bad as it could have been.

@jonykipnis Also, universities will pass these costs on to students with higher tuitions.

My prediction is that the med schools, which are the most affected by NIH indirect cuts, will go after faculty salaries, # of graduate student slots, prices for core facilities and mouse housing, admin support. Although I hope this idiotic decision will be reversed due to legal implications.

@famjc20 @NIH It affects all USA universities that have research funding from the NIH. So all Major universities, public and private. Ivy League have higher indirect costs. For example, Big Ten schools are about 50% indirects.

@NIH Is there a full list of schools?

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.

@mbeisen I am not sure I follow this.

Wonder if universities regret the 25 years they’ve spent undermining efforts to save them billions of dollars every year in publishing costs?

@RCarpenter_PhD Jesus. I don’t have the words.

@GodboutLab_OSU An immediate change with no step down over time or adjustment for endowment size is insane!

NIH will only pay 15% indirects now? Is this true? Thats going to hurt all USA academic institutions.
