The kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere two years ago, the mental & physical (lack of) acuity of Elderly Presidents was the Great Issue of Our Time. Someone should tell Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson, so they can write a book on it.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

I knew 2026 was going to be a big year for scientists moving around the country. Destabilizations tend to force these kinds of things. And there has been so much destabilization. We moved in 2025, and I hear a number of my colleagues are making big moves in 2026. Buy, don't sell in tough times.

I’m not typically a fan of cost benefit analysis in valuing life years gained or lost. But here the numbers are too big to ignore. $8.2 trillion of life years lost over 25 years vs a US budget savings of $500 billion over the same period. These NIH cuts will cost us dearly.

I await further details, but core facilities are crucial in research. They make specialized & expensive techniques/equipment (deep sequencing, proteomics, electron microscopy) accessible, reliable, and efficiently used. A grave mistake to cut cores. It stops progress in many labs at once.
