Revealed: NIH research grants still frozen despite lawsuits challenging Trump order nature.com/articles/d4158…

got this text from a good friend who works at a cancer research hospital re: the cuts to NIH. seems deeply at odds with any pro-innovation / human flourishing agenda.

NIH has stopped considering new grant applications, delaying decisions about how to spend millions of dollars. The freeze occurred because the Trump administration has blocked the NIH… npr.org/sections/shots…

Our students are the future. We have to support them, not destroy NIH.

Gutting the NIH will kill Americans: - Patients lose access to lifesaving medicine - 1000s of lost jobs at NIH and across academia - No research funding = no new medicines and treatments - Fewer trainees/medicines = pharma + health sector crash These are only a few. Buckle up.

NIH funding creates medicines, jobs, and economic growth

I'm quoted in this article on how NIH is still blocked from funding new grants. This sabotage makes no sense. Nearly every medicine or treatment you've ever received has roots in NIH-funded research, and every $1 of NIH spending generates $2.46 in returns. wbur.org/news/2025/02/2…

Friends, I am at a loss of words for how devastating it would be to lose the entire intramural #NIH program. Some of the biggest medical and scientific breakthroughs have come from scientists in the NIH Intramural program. #SaveTheNIH science.org/content/articl…

NIH serves the US public. If you value the ability to get diagnosed and having treatments to a disease when you or a loved one get sick (cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart or kidney disease, diabetes, etc) please consider calling your representative. This has to be stopped. #SaveTheNIH

“Also in limbo are the intramural program’s trainee programs. One, a “postbac” program that employs some 1600 recent college graduates, is key to staffing many labs and launching young scientists’ careers, one NIH senior scientist says.” science.org/content/articl…

NCEP is the nucleus for all weather data in the United States. If this true and there is any lapse in coverage, it will make it nearly impossible for ANY weather entity to predict a severe weather event due to lack of computer model functionality. This is a huge deal. Department of Government Efficiency

This is horrible news for numerical weather prediction in this country. The data that comes from these key parts of our weather enterprise saves lives. DOGE moves to cancel NOAA leases on key weather buildings axios.com/2025/03/03/dog…

It. Is. On!!! Stand up for Science, Austin! 4pm. South steps of the Texas Capitol. Be there!

Excited to share our preprint “BoltzDesign1: Inverting All-Atom Structure Prediction Model for Generalized Biomolecular Binder Design” — a collaboration with Martin Pacesa, Zhidian Zhang , Bruno E. Correia, and Sergey Ovchinnikov. 🧬 Code will be released in a couple weeks
