32% return. $62 billion merged pool. Only $2 billion being dispersed. Meanwhile, there's been huge layoffs. Space is being shut down. Faculty being nudged to seek out donors. Universities have lost the mission. It is not, "make number go up." stanforddaily.com/2026/09/29/s...
Stanford reports 31.7% return on investment
The return surpassed the median for U.S. college endowments.

Stanford Used A.I. to Swap Black Student for Hispanic Student in a Photo
Universities have been accused of doctoring photos to showcase diversity in the past. In this case, a Black woman replaced a Hispanic young man, who said it was upsetting to be “erased.”

In 2023, @nature.com published 'Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time', receiving world-wide media attention. Our Matters Arising, published after a 32 month delay (more on that soon), shows that the reported decline can largely be attributed to dataset artefacts. 🧵

Happy to see our Editorial in #JACC out! Proteome-wide MR is a powerful causal inference tool, but careful interpretation is essential. We discuss triangulation of evidence across ancestries, proteomic assays, and observational analyses. authors.elsevier.com/a/1nWYi2d9GI...

Is your diet driving up your cholesterol? That may depend on your genes
According to a new study, the high saturated fat intake that tends to accompany a low-carb diet interacts with genetic factors in ways that can increase low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, cons...

Really incredible work from the Tcheandjieu Lab that finally helps us to decipher what is going on at the 9p21 locus and its association with coronary disease on different ancestral backgrounds. www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltex...
Linkage disequilibrium and allelic heterogeneity explain variation in coronary artery disease risk at 9p21 across populations and reduced effect in Africans
Using cross-ancestry fine-mapping across global and local ancestry groups, this study dissects the 9p21.3 coronary artery disease locus and shows how ancestry-specific haplotype structure shapes assoc...

“Eddy received a letter from the [NIH], informing him that his work "had been determined to be of absolutely no value to the US taxpayer, and therefore it was being specifically terminated," he recalls. Eddy says he has given up on any dream that his funding would be restored”
Maggie WW@maggieww.bsky.social · 5mo agoI keep thinking I’m done being shocked. It is abundantly clear there is a vendetta against anything that gives joy or laughter and helps people.
