I'm hearing from NIH staff that Columbia's funding has been restored (minus terminated grants). Let's see if it makes it past five hours this time. I'm also told that today is the school's deadline to negotiate a deal with the Trump administration. I'd love to know what concessions the school made.

If you're organizing a scientific meeting outside the U.S. and a U.S.-immigrant scientist pulls out because they do not want to risk going back through immigration, do the right thing and refund their registration. If you really can't do it for everyone, at least refund trainees.

"Columbia did not do enough....shrugged their shoulders, looked the other way. So what did [Trump] do? Took away $400 million. ... I think we have to see." @schumer.senate.gov to @nytimes.com. Oh, my word. This is a punch in the stomach. Schumer is not standing up for science, or universities. 1/

I’m curious how you think about how protests should be addressed, considering the context of what you just said. The Trump administration just announced it’s pulling $400 million in funding from Columbia University, giving the reason as “relentless violence, intimidation and antisemitic harassment.” I’m wondering what you make of that. Columbia did not do enough. I criticized them. And believe me, I believe in free speech, I believe in the right to protest, as you read in my book. I started my career protesting the Vietnam War. I say to some people, “If I were your age, I’d be protesting something or other.” So I get that, and I love it, and it’s about America. But when it shades over to violence and antisemitism, the colleges had to do something, and a lot of them didn’t do enough. They shrugged their shoulders, looked the other way. Columbia among them. So what did they do? They took away $400 million. I’m trying to find out what they took away. Are they taking away money from cancer

NIH is still terminating active grants including transgender people, men who have sex with men, LGBTQIA+ people, LGB youth and more! While they say it isn’t due to executive orders (EOs), this is because of EOs forcing changes to areas OMB is allowing NIH to fund.

Yes. The NIH’s Undiagnosed Diseases Program helps people who get to a point where their doctor can’t figure out what’s wrong. Hundreds of patients come to the NIH Clinical Center, a part of NIH’s main research campus, for this. And it’s gov’t funded, and so at risk from Trump/Musk. 🧪

How it Works

Individuals whose conditions have eluded medical diagnoses may apply to the UDP. If, after the application is reviewed, the patient is accepted, they may be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD for 2-5 days. Each patient undergoes a targeted clinical evaluation that may include remote DNA analysis, telehealth visits, and inpatient or outpatient visits at the NIH Clinical Center. An onsite evaluation will include diagnostic tests and expert consultations.
The patient is typically examined by a multidisciplinary medical team drawn from various NIH institutes and centers. Our team studies a patient's clinical and laboratory results for diagnostic clues while the patient is in the Clinical Center and in the weeks and months following their visit. Various medical specialties, including endocrinology, immunology, oncology, dermatology, dentistry, neurology, cardiology and genetics, from other NIH research centers and institutes contribute the expertise needed to conduct the evaluation.
Ultimately, the UDP offers patients hope for a diagnosis and the possibility of therapeutic interventions. UDP participants may receive consultation regarding their treatment when they arrive for an evaluation, but treatment is usually not provided as a component of the program. The treatment recommendations that NIH clinicians may offer remain the responsibility of the patient and the referring clinician.
In return, patients provide UDP researchers the opportunity to gain new insights about genetic and biochemical mechanisms of disease, normal cell biology, biochemistry, and physiology. Patient diagnoses include uncommon presentations of known disorders, multi-systemic complex disorders, and new disorders that have never been identified.
The UDP uses multiple genomic sequencing technologies to identify rare and new genetic causes of disease. These technologies further our understanding of the role of molecular and biochemical events that cause disease. It is ou…
