With Eugene Koonin, we wrote a rather comprehensive review on the origin, evolution and organization of the #virosphere. We describe all 10 viral realms and the logic behind them, and so much more. Check it out! comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/biologies/ar...

It is awesome to see hundreds of scientists, researchers, and our fellow WNYers coming out today to #StandUpForScience in Niagara Square in Buffalo and fight the Trump Administration's cuts to research and healthcare. I am proud to stand with them. 1/3 #StandUpForScience2025
It is awesome to see hundreds of scientists, researchers, and our friends and neighbors coming out today to #StandUpForScience in Niagara Square in Buffalo and fight the Trump Administration's cuts to research and healthcare. I am proud to stand with them.

The only reason these cuts are being made is to give Elon Musk and the super wealthy a tax cut. If they go ahead, Elon gets a tax cut and we get shorter life spans and worse healthcare. That is unacceptable.

Thank you to all who came out today to Stand Up for Science and keep up the pressure on those who can stop these unnecessary cuts: the GOP members of Congress who represent WNY.It is awesome to see hundreds of scientists, researchers, and our friends and neighbors coming out today to #StandUpForScience in Niagara Square in Buffalo and fight the Trump Administration's cuts to research and healthcare.

Many US students don’t know how to seek opportunities outside the US. With some help from our colleagues in EU and Canada, we could put together a consolidated website of PhD opportunities and scholarships outside the US, organized by field. There might still be time for this year in some places.

Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget. go.nature.com/4gM6oW4

Revealed: NIH research grants still frozen despite lawsuits challenging Trump order
The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep a funding freeze in place, leaving researchers in limbo.
