Excellent talk at #MELODEM2025 by @sfackley.bsky.social evaluating amyloid as a surrogate marker with individual level A4 trial data One big take away — 5 years was not enough time to see cognitive decline in the placebo group == a major challenge

Curious about conducting mechanism-driven interventions? CLIMBR is a great tool to support investigators in determining how to test mechanisms, learn more on May 22 !! Details below!! Register: z.umm.edu/CLIMBRwebinar

This is both ethically distressing and scientifically flawed reasoning for discontinuing needed research to ensure ALL humans are in our science. Alzheimer’s disease does not discriminate and good science includes ALL. Gratitude to @jaceflatt.bsky.social and colleagues for your leadership.

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world. www.science.org/content/arti...

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research

Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

"VA researchers whose contracts are about to expire . . . will not be renewed, even when funding [through extramural grants is] in place to pay them. Should the VA continue this policy . . . over the months to come, the entire VA research workforce could be decimated."

Facts: Representatives Tim Burchett (R-TN) and Victoria Spartz (R-IN) voted to gut #Medicaid while nearly 1 in 5 of Burchett's constituents and 1 in 4 of Spartz's rely on Medicaid for their healthcare....

Scientists and journalists need to figure out right quick how to explain to the average person how a massive change in research indirects will impact the medical care they and their children get (eg at the local children’s hospital), the education their children will get, the price of tuition, etc.

The new NIH policy for indirect costs going forward is capped at 15%. This is forever going to alter the science ecosystem, upending and destroying a number of programs at universities across the country. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...
