#Science magic PSA: if you or a loved one is allergic to cats, there are now foods that neutralize the major cat allergen in their saliva using antibodies derived from eggs (ex. Purina LiveClear) I am allergic to my beloved #cat Bellini and switching to this food cut my allergies down 70%

Bellini the calico cat laying on a desk, with a laptop workstation behind her. There is a sunny window with trees in the background. She is laying on the computer mouse to prevent her cat mom from working.

The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted. What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards. Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success.
