“If large numbers of academics working in the U.S. do decide to leave, Gold doubts other countries will be able to absorb them all. The end result, he warns, could be an exodus of talent from global science. “My biggest fear,” he says, is that “we’re going to lose a cohort of researchers.”” 🧪

Overseas universities see opportunity in U.S. ‘brain drain’

But many U.S.-based scientists seeking to leave may struggle to find positions in countries grappling with funding issues of their own

Anyone have experience doing phosphoproteomics with a company? There are many options out there, so looking to see if anyone had a good experience with a company. We have a relatively simple experimental design: Pancreatic cancer cell lines +/- our gene of interest (a kinase).

I beg my science colleagues to speak with the media about what's happening now. When I was given the opportunity, I spoke with Nature about HHMI massive cut. I am an immigrant on a working visa, and I am not a professor. Anyone can talk. Silence in the face of injustice is injustice in action.

Nature news, Feb 7, 2025. Have Trump’s anti-DEI orders hit private funders? HHMI halts inclusive science programme The Howard Hughes Medical Institute, a huge funder of biomedical research, has cut a $60-million initiative to boost diversity in science education.

I know many universities are asking folks not to speak to reporters on the record. If you have need for someone who will be effing glad to speak on the record, DM me! 🙏

My #Yale colleague Harlan Krumholz explains why the cuts to indirect costs are a disaster for biomedical research in the United States. Want to do something about it? I'll list those who have to hear from us below. Share, recruit friends and family to help. 1/ www.statnews.com/2025/02/08/n....

The NIH’s drastic cut to indirect cost rates is a critical threat to U.S. research infrastructure

The drastic reduction in indirect costs is not a path to innovation or cost savings — it’s a threat to U.S.’s position as global leader in medical research.

I wrote this just two weeks ago - could not have imagined how broadly #science and #researchers in the US have been impacted since then 

Science is a #global community 🌍 🌎 🌏 We're all very concerned for our friends, colleagues, and young researchers in the US right now

Seeing a huge increase in applications to our lab from scientists in the US 🧪 in the last few months It feels like the coming years are going to have a far-reaching impact on global science..

NSF grantees - people who have already received their grants based on a previously funded and approved research proposal - are being told to stop any activities related to DEI and accessibility. Call this what it is: government censorship of ongoing research projects. www.opm.gov/policy-data-...

Rates of #cancer in #young #adults have risen dramatically in recent years - as discussed in this article.. We urgently need to invest in #research 🧪 on early-onset cancers to understand - why? www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Ultra-processed food? Forever chemicals? Declining birth rates? What’s behind rising cancer in the under-50s?

Research into the disease has never been more far-reaching, but there is little consensus as to what is causing the rocketing rates of diagnosis in young adults

The antidote for despair is action ❤️ * Dial (202) 224-3121 * Enter zip code * Leave voicemail * Say “My name is ___, I’m a constituent in [town]. (If clinician/scientist, say so) “The NIH freeze harms research and patients and must be lifted immediately.” Be brief. Staffers tally all calls. Go! ✅

Sam Wang@samwang.bsky.social · 2y ago

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science. Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
