This is a fabulous paper by Dr. Kristy Zera in my lab. She shows how critical the interaction between VCAM1 on endothelium & VLA4 on immune cells is late after stroke. Blocking either prevents post-stroke cognitive decline & drives mature vessel formation, including pericytes and normal BBB function

How has stroke research evolved, and where is it headed? In today's episode, physician-scientist @marionbuckwalter.bsky.social shares how decades of scientific discovery shaped what we know about stroke and why continued research is key to future progress. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/how-bas...

NIH is likely cutting up to 25% of its workforce this week. NIH staff have substantial expertise, typically PhDs. And they really *believe* in the work. NIH's will not be able to meet its mission w/these cuts. The scientific threat is not just direct funding cuts www.statnews.com/2025/03/14/n...
statnews.com
At NIH, ‘everyone is on edge’ as they brace for deep cuts and more centralized control
As the NIH braces for cuts of up to 5,000 of its 20,000 positions, “people are scrambling and freaking out,” a researcher said.

We are in a biotech space race, cutting off basic science via slashing NIH and NSF funding robs the US of our competitive advantage: early innovation.

Kidnapping an activist and jailing him in the middle of the night is a brazen act of authoritarianism. Punishing dissent by revoking legal status is a dangerous precedent to set.

I currently have two fully-funded PhD opportunities in my lab - both providing a chance to work on the incredible LEAF data set that we have been collecting the last couple of years (220 children followed longitudinally from 10-30 months on measures of attention and early EF). Please share!

This is incredibly stressful to our Alzheimer's community (families and researchers). There are Alzheimer Disease Research Centers that are in limbo now - no council meetings means no notice of awards, means all the research we are doing to slow or prevent this disease is paused indefinitely.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

In their rush to destroy our government The Trump administration fired the workers who keep our nukes safe And-realizing how badly they screwed up Are trying to rehire them But can’t-because they don’t know how to get in touch with the fired workers The incompetence is unprecedented

Thank you, Mike Lauer, for your work. The fact that NIH is still cancelling study sections and Council meetings will hold up, or prevent, new discoveries and cures. This should not be buried.

COVID denial to attacks on NIH and universities now: yes, there is a direct line. Jay Bhattacharya is a living instantiation of that line. He's the Trump NIH director nominee *because* he denied science to help Republicans. And the same billionaires paid for both. 1/

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.

NIH directly supports the economy through investments in research institutions and job formation.

Given the dramatic changes wrought by all these executive orders and the attempted layoff of the federal workforce, with lots of chaotic fallout, I can’t help but think - who does the federal government work for? The people, right? Where are the checks and balances? This is unacceptably reckless.

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46 For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)
An image of NIH campus. Text says : With annual budget of more than $47 billion, NIH is the largest single public funder of biomedical and behavioural research in the world. In fiscal year 2023, NIH funding generated an estimated $92.89 billion in economic activityEvery state and almost every congressional district received a share of NIH investment
Each year, NIH awards over 60,000 grants that directly support more than 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 different institutions
In fiscal year 2023, every $1 of NIH funding generated approximately $2.46 of economic activity

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...
A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the streetA fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fireA fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the backgroundThe inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree
