It was great working with @seanmwu.bsky.social and @aliraissadati.bsky.social on this seminal work investigating the proof of concept use cell free mRNA biomarkers in ici myocarditis, a technology that can be expanded to other CV diseases! @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social @scvi-mavens.bsky.social

Thrilled to share our work in @jclinical-invest.bsky.social demonstrating the potential of cell free mRNA as a liquid biopsy of myocardial inflammation! Many thanks to my fantastic coauthors and especially my mentor @seanmwu.bsky.social for their unwavering support! www.jci.org/articles/vie...

Warning-some of you might find it triggering to read the flagrant violation of 1st amendment rights by the government against Harvard. The lawsuit from Harvard today provides a detailed account of what has transpired in the past two months. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Read Harvard’s Lawsuit Against Trump (Gift Article)

Harvard University sued the Trump administration after it moved to block international students from enrolling.

I'm a current Harvard graduate student and I found out today that I had my NSF GRFP terminated without notification. I was awarded this individual research fellowship before even choosing Harvard as my graduate school

Our so called Secretary of Education now writes official letters like Trump writes posts on X and Truth Social. This is the education level we’ll be having across the country once the administration guts all funding for science 2 universities & student support. 🤬🤬🤬

🚨🚨 Deranged letter from Education Secretary Linda McMahon to Harvard’s president, cutting off federal funding for any new grants. Worth reading in full. It is NUTS.

THE SECRETARY OF EDUCATION
WASHINGTON, DC 20202
May 5, 2025
Dr. Alan Garber
Office of the President
Harvard University
Massachusetts Hall
Cambridge, MA 02138
Dr. Garber,
The Federal Government has a sacred responsibility to be a wise and important steward of American taxpayer dollars. Harvard University, despite amassing a largely tax-free $53.2 billion dollar endowment (larger than the GDP of 100 countries), receives billions of dollars of taxpayer largess each year. Receiving such taxpayer funds is a privilege, not a right. Yet instead of using these funds to advance the education of its students, Harvard is engaging in a systemic pattern of violating federal law. Where do many of these "students" come from, who are they, how do they get into Harvard, or even into our country—and why is there so much HATE? These are questions that must be answered, among many more, but the biggest question of all is, why will Harvard not give straightforward answers to the American public?
Harvard University has made a mockery of this country's higher education system. It has invited foreign students, who engage in violent behavior and show contempt for the United States of America, to its campus. In every way, Harvard has failed to abide by its legal obligations, its ethical and fiduciary duties, its transparency responsibilities, and any semblance of academic rigor. It had scrapped standardized testing requirements and a normalized grading system. This year Harvard was forced to adopt an embarrassing "remedial math" program for undergraduates.
Why is it, we ask, that Harvard has to teach simple and basic mathematics, when it is supposedly so hard to get into this "acclaimed university"? Who is getting in under such a low standard when others, with fabulous grades and a great understanding of the highest levels of mathematics, are being rejected?
Harvard has even been embroiled in humiliating plagiarism scandals, exposed clearly and plainly in the media, with respect to your then…

Great to see @harvard.edu take a stand on the unlawful infringement of the current government on academic freedom and freedom of speech. I’m proud to have trained as a fellow at Harvard Med/MGH & as an HMS Assist Prof previously. 👍👍👏👏💪💪 Now is the time for all other universities to do the same.

Lawyers for Harvard University said the school will not comply with a new list of demands sent by the Trump administration on Friday.

Thanks so much Peter, Han @hankim and the trainees Aidan, Termeh for the great hospitality. It was wonderful to see you all at UOHI.

The #Ottawa Heart Institute trainees were privileged to host the famed Prof Sean Wu @seanmwu.bsky.social from @stanford.edu at @brownsocialhouse.com. #mentorship discussions ranged from academic careers to #entrepreneurship to Spark programs and future of science. Exciting lecture tomorrow noon.

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

Wife was a probationary employee let go over the weekend. She was a researcher with CMMI. If anyone has leads on jobs for a PhD social science researcher with an expertise in Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance, please let me know!
