‘Milestone’ research method measures gene activity across whole mice. According to @rongfan8.bsky.social “exactly what this platform uniquely enables—capturing coordinated, whole-body–wide responses across multiple organs and cell types in a single experiment.” www.science.org/content/arti...

Thanks so much to @ddiamond.bsky.social for his excellent, detailed coverage of how medical research is being harmed by federal instability. We need to keep talking about this and help the public understand the scope of damage that is happening and how this will impact future medicine and technology

Also spoke with researchers like @docsirianni.bsky.social who have turned to Bluesky and other outlets to amplify the situation facing scientists. Heard story after story about heart-wrenching decisions affecting their labs now — and the consequence of fewer cures for patients and families later.

Rachael Sirianni, a bioengineer at U-Mass. Chan Medical School working on treatments for pediatric brain cancer, said her lab is among the many teams that have been effectively paralyzed as funding has dried up. In an interview, she listed the ramifications: no new supplies; no new experiments; no guarantee that she can retain her staff, let alone recruit new team members.
“It’s unbearable,” she said, adding that the consequences of the research slowdown will eventually affect all Americans. Sirianni pointed to paused studies and clinical trials that she said offered hope to cancer patients and their families. “Right now, what’s happening is that hope is being yanked away,” she said.
