Book research on how names shift science. How do controversial ideas become accepted in medical research and medicine? T-suppressor cells were "debunked" and then rebranded as #Tregs. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome now ME w/ #ChronicLyme to #IACI following #LongCOVID. I want to hear your stories!!

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025
My ongoing request: If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here. NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h... NIH: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h... Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.
Dan Garisto@dangaristo.bsky.social · last yr.NSF appears to be terminating hundreds of its grants to Harvard, per internal sources at NSF and at Harvard. At least one division has had all its grants cut.
Hey y'all! My department is conducting a search for an assistant or associate professor in bacteriology. It's pretty broadly defined. If you know anyone who's looking for a great department that does awesome science - please send them our way! You can DM me with any questions you have 😀
Nice news (for me, anyway): Everything Is Tuberculosis is on the NYT bestseller list for a SEVENTH consecutive week.
Bill Gates per today’s NY Times article: “I think there’s a logic to solving tuberculosis. I mean, it’s criminal not to solve TB. It’s criminal not to solve H.I.V. It’s criminal not to eradicate malaria.”

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.
ATTENTION: NSF GRANT RECIPIENTS We received a heads up from a trusted source that you should proactively download/print/screen shot any documentation on research.gov pertaining to your NSF awards, both those that are current and any that have closed in the last 5-6 years. 1/n
