New study from the lab 🧵 1/ Pancreatic cancer is metabolically rewired and immunosuppressive. We asked: can targeting metabolism trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD) to boost anti-tumor immunity? Key twist: ferroptosis shows ICD signals in vitro, but is largely tumor-protective in vivo rdcu.be/fc55T

Just spoke to The Hill about how the dismantling of the NIH is impacting science in America. We still face a cliff of unfathomable heights, w easily 1000+ labs poised to close in the next year due to funding ending. A generation of young scientists lost because there is nowhere for them to train.

Ok so does anyone know anything about the NSF GRFP? Has anyone made any statement? Grad students keep telling me they’re writing it and I’m like discouraging them from spending time on this…. But do we have any actual information?
