I took my 8-year old niece to the office with me on “Workplace Visit Day." As we walked around the office, she got very upset and started crying, so l asked her what was wrong. As my coworkers gathered round, she sobbed loudly, "Uncle Greg, where are all the clowns you said you worked with?!"

In case you missed it, the proposed NIH research grant caps would mean a 27% reduction in expected funding for the MDI Bio Lab. These funds are essential for supporting ongoing grants that drive our research, training, and outreach programs. Today we #StandUpForScience2025! #standwithscience 🧪 🤝 👩‍🔬

Nerds #NIH_Study_Section_Canceled has to get trending. HHS has banned external comms until Feb 1-ish. Probably/likely waiting for Bhattacharya & Kennedy to get confirmed. Their teams will decide what happens next IMO. HHS = NIH, FDA and the fucking CDC.
