We are officially an NIH-funded lab!! Super grateful for my NIA K22 Career Transition Award 🥳 It will support setting up the initial research program in our new lab at Rutgers, investigating the fascinating biology of big tau. As always, big thanks to my mentors/collaborators 🙏

Announcing an official fundraising campaign to support my lab’s research on APOE4 and Alzheimer’s disease: joinus.cuimc.columbia.edu/participant/.... This campaign is itself an experiment of sorts. But mostly, it's an attempt to save my lab during an unprecedented time of turmoil in academia. 1/9

Robyn St. Laurent: Why science funding matters more than you think
Cutting funding to NIH and and NSF does more than take away career paths for our upcoming generations; it threatens the well-being of people.

This is a list of blockbuster drugs in 2024. Guess how many can trace their origins to NIH funded research? All of them.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

My NIH study section that was to meet tomorrow was one of those canceled. This represents many months of work by the applicants and by the NIH staff and reviewers. Devastating is the correct word.

Koreans often go watch the sunrise on January 1, preferably by the ocean or at the mountaintop, to make wishes on the first “light” of the year 🌅 There’s no real mountain near me (Houston problem lol) so I drove to Kemah this morning. Lucky it wasn’t cloudy. Happy New Year everyone! 🥰
