It's great to see my favorite science society taking action and staying the course. Contact Congress and encourage your own scientific societies to take action

This approach to suddenly cutting NIH grant indirect costs will cause chaos and harm biomedical research and researchers in hospitals, schools and institutes nationwide. A sane government would never do this.

Skin disease caused by mutations in the Desmoplakin or DSP gene is known as DSP-palmoplantar epidermal differentiation disorder (DSP-pEDD), or Striate palmoplantar keratoderma 2. We currently have only 5 cases of DSP-pEDD in the PC registry, so we are still learning about this

IC study sections still cannot be scheduled, and even these 50 study sections are not likely to be held until well into April at the earliest. Meanwhile scored grants from last fall and the few that took place Jan/Feb cant be approved at councils. THIS IS STILL A CRISIS!!!

Please, everyone, speak out with Senator Durbin against the indiscriminate attacks on NIH And biomedical research. Loss of US contributions to science advances will doom its chances of being “Great again”

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

Excellent science awaits at the 21st IPCC Symposium. Register today to hear Professor Nanes and all the other speakers. Please join our meeting on May 7th along with our traditional networking dinner the night before. All the details are here: pachyonychia.org/2025-ipcc-symp…
