I feel bad I didn’t even know there was a #WorldEoEDay until today. But to all my colleagues researching #EoE, thank you for all you are doing! And for patients who are dealing with the symptoms, treatment costs, scopes…we see it. #Allergy #Immunology

International Eosinophil Society@eosinophilsoc.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Today on World EoE Day, we stand together to raise awareness, support patients and families, and advance understanding of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).💙🌍 #EoEDay #FoodShouldntHurt @charityeos.bsky.social @apfed.bsky.social

The 10th edition of Middleton’s Allergy is in out in print with our chapter on Eosinophilic Disorders! Also with a digital edition in tow. Its a great resource that shapes how we think about and teach allergic and immunologic diseases. #AIMedEd #Eosinophils @eosinophilsoc.bsky.social

Registration Now Open! IES Webinar: Type 2 Inflammation Across Diseases: Eosinophils, IL-5 Cytokine, and Unmet Needs on Wednesday, 6 May 2026 at 11:00 am - 12:30 pm US Eastern / 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm Central Europe. Register here: www.eosinophil-society.org/webinars/may...

Highly recommend! Some of the most dedicated mentors in eos research are at this meeting! They are truly invested in supporting the next generation of researchers and clinicians!

My piece for @thenation.com on the bravery of NIH employees who are standing up to those that would destroy the institution, including the NIH director himself. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

NIH Staff Have Broken Their Silence

Civil servants usually keep a low profile. These NIH employees are putting themselves at risk by calling out the Trump administration.

This tiny device can shrink dangerous blood clots. It’s called the ‘milli-spinner’ and its invention was partly an accident…

concerned about the state of the world because of two powerful men fighting? doomscrolling again? stop. breathe. enjoy the universe for a brief moment

We are looking for post-docs interested in studying T cell responses to M. tuberculosis infection…especially basic T cell immunologists who are interested in learning to work with BSL3 pathogens. The NIH intramural program is an amazing place to train!

Honestly it doesn’t really matter. We should be providing healthcare to those who need it most and implementing or translating the discoveries. I don’t buy the notion that we’re fixing chronic disease because at every turn there are cuts that impact the environment and medical care

New at Can We Still Govern: An anonymous NIH employee maps out the GOP budget gameplan to permanently gut our most important science agency. Impoundment, delay and red tape will create artificial "savings" that become the new benchmark for NIH budgets. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-nih-bu...

The NIH budget is on a fast track to disaster

An NIH insider explains what Republicans are likely to do next, and what we can do

🙏 We need your help 🙏 The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like. We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants: NIH: forms.gle/J2znQ7y7YpeP... NSF: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... w/ @noamross.net

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

I gotta say @sarahkendzior.bsky.social is one of the best writers I’ve come across in recent times. The writing is both beautiful and crushing at the same time. Can’t wait to read this one.

My sincere thanks to Jeanne Marrazzo for her service as NIAID director. She delivered the Merigan lecture last year & then kindly met w/our trainees & faculty, listening openly to ideas & suggestions for how to make NIAID stronger. A brilliant yet humble physician-scientist. This is such a loss

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

Science is an ecosystem, it’s all interconnected. It’s only a matter of time before labs and groups across the country are forced to pull back/close, PhD programs aren’t accepting apps, college grads can’t do internships. We will lose the next generation of physicians and scientists.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

I guess we’re aiming for blissful ignorance. Good luck to the kids.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last yr.

The Trump administration is planning to cancel its lease at a government laboratory in Hawaii, a site where scientists support key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, according to a list obtained by Democratic members of Congress and shared with The Post.

“Trump administration has imposed a new restriction on employment that could push out thousands of NIH’s senior scientists: The agency cannot retain scientists in 1-year to 4-year positions that have long been routinely renewed.” These are high-performing labs — absolutely senseless destruction

More tragic news about NIH and NIH science. Grant system is frozen and intramural program is being slashed. All will claw back on treatments and cures for cancer and other human diseases. This can’t be what the public wants. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

Deep thanks to our many collaborators and all research participants. #immunology #science 🧪 @science.org @sarahhross.bsky.social NIH funding was the lifeblood of this work, as it is for almost all biomedical discoveries and therapies in the U.S. @niaidnews.bsky.social

Firings at FDA over the weekend taking out A.I. staff www.statnews.com/2025/02/16/f... Note the subtitle.

FDA cuts hit AI division, even as Trump invests in the technology

Layoffs at the FDA appear to have hit the AI and digital health staff particularly hard. It also has a strained relationship with Musk’s company Neuralink.

A shining example....there are 1,000s of these fundamental science discoveries that NIH supports to promote human health

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...
