With all the ups and downs in 2025 and so much uncertainty, I hesitated to share. In light of the government reopening today, I still want to share some outdated news: I was awarded my first R01 grant! Regardless of what will be the future looks like, the receipt of NoA alone is worth celebrating!😎

Through a huge multidisciplinary collaboration effort, we showed that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure raises Lewy body dementia risk. Mechanistically, we found that PM2.5 exposure led to brain atrophy in mice. Lewy body dementia promotion by air pollutants www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Evidence links air pollution to dementia, yet its role in Lewy body dementia (LBD) remains unclear. In this work, we showed in a cohort of 56.5 million individuals across the United States that fine p...

Thank you to Rise Up, Columbia for the astute analysis as usual and the footnote shoutout to CUIMC Stands Up! We’re a group of medical campus faculty & staff firmly against the exchange of our values for grant funds, even as our jobs & careers are at risk. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/riseupco...
Columbia's Agreement with the Federal Government
RISE UP, COLUMBIA
TODAY AT 12:17 PM
The Columbia administration has finally done what many of us have urged it not to do: it has signed a bad agreement with the federal government to address the government's phony concerns about
Columbia. Here is the document. And here, importantly, is President Shipman's letter outlining her view of the document.

DO NOT GIVE UP! Our advocacy is working. A key Senate committee has indicated that it will reject Trump’s proposed cuts to science agencies including NASA and the NSF. Keep speaking up and calling your electeds 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Nature: US senators poised to reject Trump’s proposed massive science cuts

Committee gives first hint that policymakers might preserve, rather than slash, funding for US National Science Foundation and other agencies.

Observing the #extremeheat events in NYC and across the US this week, I’m reminded you that the latest #NIH #grants cuts killed the project I led to improve heat-warning systems, now everyone’s more exposed to severe heat, and everyone's #health is paying the price. Tell your officials this matters.
