UCSF’s Kevan Shokat, PhD, just won the $1M Stephenson Global Prize for research in pancreatic cancer. He cracked KRAS, a cancer driver long considered “undruggable.” Drugs built on his work now treat lung and pancreatic cancer. ow.ly/UYuY50ZRSXg

And so I say to every elected official: cancer doesn’t give a fuck who you vote for. Neither does heart disease or diabetes. The reason that we have made a great deal of progress on prevention and treatment is b/c scientists had the freedom to work on topics that are beneficial to ALL humans.

Science peeps: Looks like SciENcv updated the digital certificate used to sign Biosketch and Current & Pending documents without notification. The old certificate expires Saturday, September 26, 2026. SciENcv docs before that date may fail validation in eRA Commons delaying or blocking submission.

Can confirm (see 🧵 ). But let me share some optimism. A NIH colleague said today that against all odds, NIH has been…winning. “We made this EO a necessity. We fought hard. We threw sand in all the gears. All the lowdown ways of blocking grants failed to produce the results Vought et al wanted.”

Trump's pick to lead the FDA, Heidi Overton, says the FDA, CDC, and NIH need to be "reformed" to fund more "conservative-based" research instead of peer-reviewed and evidence-backed medical science. #Trump #Overton #Science #StandUpForScience #FDA

This is exactly it...and it's the Left's kryptonite. This is ESPECIALLY true of scientists who have been taught to think in the grey zone! I know it is uncomfortable, but we all need to fight that urge. Trump is bad. His team is bad. Everything they do is bad. THERE IS NO BABY IN THE BATHWATER.

I will not soften this take. I will not walk it back. I will not say “well it’s nuanced…” because it’s not. The president banning journalists from the White House on the basis that he doesn’t like what they say about him is FASCISM 101. FULL STOP.
