Fred Ramsdell, Shimon Sakaguchi & Mary E. Brunkow share #NobelPrize in Medicine for discoveries relating to immune tolerance - how immune system attacks invaders (like bacteria) without attacking ourselves. Key for autoimmune disease, cancer, transplants. enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/art...

We shared research about things affecting us all: addiction, autism, brain injury, dementia, mental illness. This work has been arbitrarily cut or delayed. Thats a human brain on cafeteria tray. UCLA fair shows off science cuts. @sfn.org @standupforscience.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

Yes, that’s a human brain on a cafeteria tray. UCLA fair shows off science cuts under Trump

UCLA's researchers go low-tech to plead their case to the public with poster boards and props. The Trump administration has suspended more than $500 million in research grants to the university.
