NIH has issued ~65% fewer (796 vs. 2300) new grants so far this year compared to the same point in prior years. Combined with the delayed release of already-appropriated funding and we are witnessing unbelievable real-time damage to the U.S. scientific enterprise.
Due to the shutdown, NIH cancelled >370 study sections, impacting >24,000 applications Rescheduled meetings will only discuss 30-35% of applications, have simplified summary statements (no narrative paragraph), and a new category - "competitive but ND" grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…
And if you are at #SfN2025 and interested in neuroHIV, microglia and Sigma-1, also come to poster I2 Tuesday afternoon. @Tofunmi_OT from @GaskillLab will discuss how cocaine modulates antiviral and unfolded protein response to enhance HIV infection in iPSC-microglia via Sigma-1
At #SfN2025? Interested in neuroHIV, dopamine and stimulants? On Tuesday morning at poster H5, Yash Agarwal from @GaskillLab will present data on Dopaminergic modulation of neuroimmune responses in HIV-infected, iPSC-derived cortical and midbrain organoids exposed to stimulants.
The part we don’t see - but we’ll feel years from now. Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences is cutting Ph.D. admissions by 75% in the Sciences and 60% in the Arts & Humanities. It’s a blow to the future research workforce and to the progress that depends on it.
Dozens of U.S. PhD programs in physics, astronomy, and biology are admitting few or no students after Trump’s funding freezes and political pressure on universities. The future of America’s research pipeline is undeniably at risk.
1200 chairs, each with a picture of a person murdered on October 7, were placed in the center of the Columbia University campus.💔
NINE former CDC Directors spanning every administration from Carter to Trump, have issued a rare public rebuke of RFK Jr., warning of the harm his rhetoric and attacks on public health is doing. Their message: this is a time to rally to protect the health of every American.
This vile poster was just seen in Maine. Every single person in the country needs to see this. Antisemitism is real and rampant. We need accountability now.
For those of you hunting for your next position, please consider applying for a postdoctoral position in our lab. Our science is wild and exciting, and I promise to train and feed (yes, w/free food) you well. It doesn't hurt that we are on a publication hot streak.
Postdoc job alert! I’m looking for someone with a PhD in neuroscience/psychology, psychiatry, biomed engineering, computational modeling or a related field to join my NIH-funded team at UCLA studying the neural & computational mechanisms of #interoception in anorexia nervosa 1/2
So proud of @AlexisBrantly who did a fantastic job today defending her thesis focused on "Establishing a model of HIV infection in macrophages to assess HIV / HBV co-infection driven liver disease". Keep an eye here for great data coming out soon about HIV / HBV coinfection.
I'm thrilled that my lab at NYU is now supported by an NIH MIRA grant! I'm looking to hire 1-2 senior lab members (outstanding postdoc candidates or experienced staff scientists) with expertise in computational and statistical methods in human genetics or genomics. Please share!
I cannot stress this enough: pairing a 4% funding line with the largest cut in NCI history will devastate the future of cancer research - and patients. We would be turning our backs on decades of progress.
Join us for #IMES2025! 🚨 The abstract deadline is approaching for trainees and early career PI's! Due: Aug. 15, 2025 📢 Travel scholarships are available for students and postdocs from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrounds! 👉Learn more/submit: tinyurl.com/DIMES2025
Thrilled that our new pre-print "High-throughput High Content Quantification of HIV-1 Viral Infectious Output" is now up on bioRxiv (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). Initiated by @TeresaLuPone, this project was expanded and completed by Alexis Brantly.
The US government is aiming to get rid of a quarter million people involved in science research and education by 2026. I have no words.
Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day. 1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.
Amazing job by Yash Agarwal presenting his research on HIV infection of human, iPSC derived cortical and midbrain organoids. Yash has ably led the work in the Gaskill Lab developing and exploiting this novel model to study dopamine and substance mediated changes in HIV infection.
Very impressed with @Tofunmi_OT , who gave an outstanding talk discussing the role of Sigma-1 in HIV infection of microglia at the 2025 Society for Neuroimmune Pharmacology (#SNIP2025) in Omaha today.
