a new deadly Ebola outbreak ongoing- need a vaccine fast!! Containing such diseases was central to US AID (now shuttered) and CDC (severely cut). We also withdrew from W.H.O. These are lifesaving agencies we need to protect to let them protect us!

New study—and exciting collaboration with Wei Wang, Cong Liu (UCSD), and Kay Chung (new lab at UNC)—that provides a platform for designing T cells into specific states. We identified state-selective TFs for CD8 T cell states that enable “recipes” for cell engineering! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

“If you look back at the data, 250 years ago, 40% of kids never made it to adulthood. Today, it’s 4%. The majority of that decrease is due to vaccines. Vaccines have saved more lives than any other type of medical intervention, including antibiotics... -Dr. Drew Weissman, Nobel Laureate.

One of the scariest proposals from RFK Jr. is removing the HBV vaccine from childhood schedules. Without it, millions of newborns would face lifelong hepatitis B infection—the #1 cause of liver cancer and failure globally. To deny kids this protection is akin to child abuse.

Measles has spread to over 650 people in Texas and the vaccine is the only thing that will stop it. We already knew this, but still so sad to see the raw facts- nearly everyone getting infected is unvaccinated. I just hope no one else dies and parents are ensuring their kids are vaccinated.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Yes, Mr Trump, Keeping ideology and freedom of thought free of govt audit is EXACTLY acting in the PUBLIC INTEREST! Thank you for pointing out the critical role that universities play in advancement of ideas, creativity, innovation and technology.
