I'm a little late to congratulate @macauleylab.bsky.social, but this paper is too interesting to ignore. If I'm reading this correctly, as we age our brains become glucose intolerant and have altered metabolic activity - but tau pathology "compensates" for these changes. 🤯

Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab
A screenshot of the termination notice showing "Outstanding Investigator Grants"A screenshot of the termination notice with "This award is terminated effective the date of this award, due to unsafe antisemitic actions that suggest the institution lacks concern for the safety and wellbeing of Jewish students." highlighted
