Kicking off #CONY2025 in style w/ debate: "Should atypical #Alzheimer be included in trials?" What do you think? discussion w/ @rosaleenam.bsky.social @keiryong @rikossenkoppele.bsky.social & Judith Aharon & support @alzassociation.bsky.social @istaart.bsky.social
In January, we were closer than ever before to finding life changing treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. The funding stoppage has slowed this progress.
Trump Administration Stalls Scientific Research Despite Court Ruling
Using an arcane law, officials have effectively delayed funding from the National Institutes of Health, leaving medical studies in jeopardy.

Alzheimer's research funding is in the DOGE crosshairs, putting invaluable datasets (including tens of thousands of genomes) and biorepositories at risk. This reflects the volunteer efforts of thousands of research participants over four decades. Please contact your reps/senators. Hands off NIH.
MaddowBlog@maddowblog.bsky.social · last yr."I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.
Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias. This cause was once championed by *Republicans.* Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...
Oops: Trump-Musk Cuts Just Wrecked an NIH Org Championed by GOPers
Republicans once lavished praise on an NIH center that deals with Alzheimer’s. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are hobbling it. What will they say now?

Karl Herrup@asparatics.bsky.social · 2y agoMy first science post here on BlueSky is a long one. Setting the contrarian tone from the very beginning, I take strong issue with the recent op-ed by Charles Piller published in the January 24th NY Times on #Alzheimer's disease (nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...)
Amazing evening celebrating a year of achievements w/ the lab! We crushed 3 escape rooms with 0 to 1 clue—proof we’re pros at solving complex puzzles. We’ve earned every bit of our NIH awards to keep cracking code of #dementia. @grinberglab.bsky.social @ucsfmac.bsky.social @ajehrenberg.bsky.social
With so many great tau researchers like @leatgrinberg.bsky.social @lucbuee.bsky.social @sjorsscheres.bsky.social @selinawray.bsky.social @karchlab.bsky.social on #SciSky could not help but put together my 1st starterpack⤵️ We are all fighting for you @curemaptftd.bsky.social 💙 go.bsky.app/KHno2VG
Very honored by the invitation and so excited with the amazing share of knowledge here #Haiconference @grinberglab.bsky.social @ucsfmac.bsky.social @winrepo.bsky.social
Melissa E. Murray@drneurochic.bsky.social · 2y agoWowza, @leatgrinberg.bsky.social HAI keynote spanning her impressive work from neuropathology to biomarkers shows the transformative power of applying a convergence of disciplines to detect early #Alzheimers changes... Parabéns!👏👏👏
Linde and her family’s story reminds us of the urgency to treat FTD and to find creative solutions to support care givers for this complex disease. #EndFTD @curemaptftd.bsky.social

fantastic resources here. any neuroscientists considering single-cell work should read these reviews. I am thrilled to have them to cite when I review grants and papers.
