Governor Phil Murphy’s move to slash a New Jersey research hub comes as the state braces for leaner budgets under the Trump administration.

@njgvrc.bsky.social was in full force at this year's #AAS25 conference. Great job to your team: @mikeanestis.bsky.social, @daniel-semenza.bsky.social, @alliebond.bsky.social, and Kimberly Burke. Great job!
