First peony of the season. These bushes have been with us now since before the kiddo was born - simple white with pink tinges in the center. I love the big showy things. If only the blooms lasted longer! They are always a sign that summer is just around the corner.

An update: Northwestern University has still not received any funds from NIH since March 26, 2025. We still have not received written communication stating that the funds are frozen, the reason why, or what can be done to restore it.
Not the most important thing going on, but an update from our little corner of impoundment and abandonment of due process: @maxkozlov.bsky.social @joshtpm.bsky.social • Northwestern University has not received any funds from NIH since March 26, 2025.
My NSF predoctoral fellowship was what launched my scientific career. NSF has done so much good for me and many others. Much ❤️ to the NSF and much thanks for all that have shepherded such an important agency
“Hundreds of National Science Foundation staffers turned out this week for a group photograph to celebrate the besieged agency’s 75th anniversary—despite efforts by NSF officials to prevent the picture from being taken.” www.science.org/content/arti...
This is my university and my research home. It is not normal. It could be the future for more than Northwestern.
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
Nature is bringing me good feels. Thank you Momma Robin for trusting our gazebo with your babies! We promise to be good neighbors ❤️❤️

Congratulations to Steven Tran! The first PhD from my lab and a talented informatics scientist. I am beyond happy today after his successful thesis defense.
A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.
Feels fitting that while at #DIScience24 @nufeinbergmed.bsky.social did a feature story on our growing implementation science community! So proud to be part of this dream team! news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2024/12/09/a...
