The lab had a wonderful time visiting the new neuroscience exhibit at the @yalepeabody! Congratulations to curators @aprilnpruitt, @dacolon, and everyone who worked on this exciting exhibit!
I am one of the signatories of this letter, denouncing that science in the US is being dismantled at a furious pace. These actions will have large and long term negative consequences nytimes.com/2025/03/31/sci…
The massive changes in US research brought about by the new administration of President Donald Trump are causing many scientists in the country to rethink their lives and careers go.nature.com/4cbUXX0
A thread on the revolution in understanding of cell biology, interrupted by Trump’s cuts in science research.
1. What's at risk by disrupting NIH? With only a bit of hyperbole: a mechanistic understanding of life itself, & therefore better treatments for cancer, dementias, autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, birth defects, aging & more. Notes on a revolution interrupted 🧵
