I am deeply saddened and angered by news that more NIH RIFs may happen next week. This is unacceptable, especially after NIH staff have worked nights & weekends to dig out from the backlog created by this admin's incompetence. Tell your Congress people NIH needs its staff to keep delivering cures

Maybe gonna do a “Trump Corruption Tier List” here’s what I have so far. Trying to focus on things that are pretty cut and dried “using the power of the presidency for personal enrichment.” What am I missing?

Trump Corruption 
Eric Adams and Emil Bove
Selling Teslas
UAE Jet
Presidential Library Payments
Cryptocurrency Allows for Secret Bribes
Colbert Cancellation for Merger Approval?
Weird Brand Deals for Perfume and Shit
Mar a Lago Membership Cost Increase
Vietnam Hotel Approval for Trade Favoritism
Pardons for Donors…Joe Arpaio. Roger Stone
Ginni Thomas Election Plotting
DJT Stock
Deustchr Bank Loan Forgiveness (with Russian exposure)
Paramount Lawsuit Settled with Library Monsey

Thank you Eric for highlighting our 4 preprints on various aspects of SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD biology, including CryoEM structure, ASO-mediated rescue, its role in neurons and its synergistic role with autophagy in mitochondrial dynamics. All the credits go to all the trainees and collaborators!

This week's selection of #preprints and articles on #proteostasis thanks to @biomednews.bsky.social -- biomed.news/bims-proteo/... 🗣️: 4 #preprints from @qilabuva.bsky.social lab on SEL1L-HRD1 in ERAD doi.org/10.1101/2025... doi.org/10.1101/2025... doi.org/10.1101/2025... doi.org/10.1101/2025...

🚨 New review alert! Our article "SEL1L–HRD1-mediated ERAD in mammals" is now online at Nature Cell Biology. We explore how this central ERAD pathway maintains protein homeostasis in mammals and why it matters for health and disease. 👉 rdcu.be/etk3b #ERAD #NatureCellBiology #SEL1L #HRD1 #ER

Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78) I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine 1/n
