People need to know that NIH grants are the backbone of American biology and thus of our biotech industry. I took a moment away from doing science to talk about how science gets done with Olivia Aldridge with KUT News about recent IDC rate cuts. kut.org/science/2025-0…

Yesterday I spoke with sales reps whose jobs are on the line with current NIH cuts. Today, I talked to venture capitalist in biotech. That entire industry runs on workers trained in NIH-funded labs. But the "money people" don't know much about how NIH works. Educate them!

So stoked to have a small part in this capital-A awesome paper with TGIL Yonsei University College of Medicine, Jiny Ha, and Joseph G. Gleeson and others. Chanjae Lee (not on social media) did ALL the heavy lifting for the in vivo validations. in my lab . Great work was ONLY possible thanks to the NIH.

Director of the Nat'l Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD) was summarily dismissed yesterday. Here's your reminder that birth defects kill twice as many American kids as cancer but there is no St. Jude's for birth defects. Only the NICHD. nature.com/articles/d4158…
