I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

Congratulations to @rafaelmichita.bsky.social on a fantastic talk on the role of TNTs in vertical transmission of ZIKV. Some exciting new rodent data showing in vivo significance! @mysorekarlab.bsky.social @bcmfromthelabs.bsky.social #ASRI2025
Great panel at the Basic Science Symposium at #AUA25: “Aging in the Urinary Tract—Advancing Research, Advocacy, and Awareness.” Co-chairs Jill Macoska, PhD and @mysorekarlab.bsky.social challenged panelists to think beyond their labs and consider research, clinical needs, and public awareness
At #AUA25, @mysorekarlab.bsky.social discusses how aging decreases cellular resiliency, fueling inflammatory pathways and contributing to recurrent UTIs. She highlights work from CAIRIBU Urobiome-RIG investigators Drs. Nicole De Nisco and Alan Wolfe. Learn about the U-RIG here - buff.ly/fezJAEs
UTIs: same microbe, different outcomes. From aging to the immune system, host susceptibility makes a difference #AreAreNotAllTheSame. Join us on April 30th for @globaluti.bsky.social #UTIHour hosted by @katypatras.bsky.social and great talks by Drs. Gilbert, Becknell, and @mysorekarlab.bsky.social
Mark your calendars for the upcoming #UTIHour hosted by @katypatras.bsky.social focusing on Host susceptibility in UTI. We have a great speaker line up: @mysorekarlab.bsky.social Dr. Nicole Gilbert and Dr. Brian Becknell. for more info check out utiga.org/upcoming
I now have multiple sources that say at least one round of NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETINGS will now be announced in the Federal Register.

Bacteria that adhere to epithelial cells, form intracellular bacterial communities or transition to filamentous forms are morphotype-positive. Research in #JournalSpectrum shows that morphotype-positive UPEC strains harbor a more virulence genes. asm.social/2jZ
APS and 50+ science orgs signed a letter urging Congress to protect U.S. research. Funding freezes, political interference and staff cuts threaten innovation. Congress must act to safeguard science and our global leadership. Read more: ow.ly/AIkk50VbXOh #ScienceMatters #FundScience 🧪
If you want to find the email address or phone $ of an NIH employee (PO, GMS, other, ), NED has been the source. With NED down, its Google and hope. There is not reason to do this unless they are blocking communications or blocking people from using folks disappearing from NED for tracking firings.
In 2024 NIH grant awards supported 407,782 jobs and $94.58 billion in new economic activity nationwide, the largest figure in the history of the report. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...
NIH Grants Fueled $95 Billion In FY 2024 Economic Activity, Finds New Report
National Institutes of Health grants generated almost $95 billion in economic activity nationwide in FY 2024 according to a new report by United for Medical Research.

Wondering if your PO, SRO, or other NIH official is still at NIH? Tara pointed out this useful search tool. Unfortunately my MIRA PO, who just took over this portfolio in December, is no longer listed. 💔
Check ned.nih.gov/search/
Per a source with knowledge, external access to NIH's Enterprise Directory, which includes names and work contact info for NIH staff and contractors, may be shut off by tomorrow night. It is working as of now. ned.nih.gov/search/
Also: all politics is local! Translate these stats to your local community -- how many neighbors, workers of all kind, patients, students are affected?
My talking points in recent interviews, please use as you see fit: 1.Every $1 in NIH funding returns ~$2.50 to the economy. 2.Every $1B in cuts from NIH extramural = 7500 lost employees, just in science. 3.These don't include priceless improvements in health. 1/x
From the other site... (from EVP at Columbia to a training grant director)
as the world continues to crumble, I think that these preprint servers are going to be increasingly important as there is more censorship of speech! Support these initiatives!
Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n
Today marks the beginning of OpenRxiv, which replaces bioRxiv and medRxiv, the world's largest preprint platform for life and medical science openrxiv.org/introducing-... @openrxiv.bsky.social
ATTENTION If anyone from Columbia is interested in communicating with reporters and/or can share documents to help reporters cover this nightmare and cover it accurately, PLEASE reach out to me (or have them do so) on signal (jeremymberg.78). 1/n

Science not silence! Standing up with colleagues at the Texas Medical Center today @standupforscience.bsky.social
Well done, Philly!! Even @maddow.msnbc.com said we were impressive. Excellent work standing up for science! #standupforsciencephilly
Stop collaborate and listen! 😀Yesterday was a great day for science! Thank you @standupforscience.bsky.social !The real work begins now. People are listening! We need to challenge misunderstandings and show that investment in science is crucial for our health for our economy and for our future!
