After the GRS, I was lucky to stay for the Bioorganic Chemistry GRC, chaired by Denise Field and @doc-jlmeier.bsky.social. This meeting is truly one of my favorite weeks of the year, and as every year, I learned so much and left the meeting so inspired in my own science!

Last week, I had the privilege of chairing the Bioorganic Chemistry GRS with my amazing co-chair @zhilindseylin.bsky.social. Thank you to all of our amazing speakers, poster presenters for a truly incredibly GRS!

The Gutting of America’s Medical Research: Here Is Every Canceled or Delayed N.I.H. Grant

Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

Stand Up for Science Education Summer Send Off

At this rally, we will stand up for science education and highlight how cuts to funding will impact the pipeline of discovery, education, and training.

I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

America’s long-term growth is at stake. Congress is weighing sweeping FY2026 cuts to fundamental science, including $18 billion from the NIH and $5 billion from the NSF. In the long run, these cuts will cost the economy billions. @jdrakephd.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...

What's happening with these grants is much more complicated and mostly unknown. None of the NIH have been officially cancelled. The NIH was just ordered to stop paying. They got the Unis to enforce silence on their own campuses because they thought they were "negotiating" and cld get the funds back.
