Our lab turned 4 years last week! The last >year has been so fun scientifically with lots of successes (prizes, great grant scores, grad school admissions). We've also recruited some really great new lab members to help build up our expertise, skills & forward-thinking science☺️

Finally got some good grant news last week as @cosettegrace's F31 was awarded (only 5 months after submitting JIT & 10months after a fundable score). Better late than never I guess! Congrats Cosette, we are super proud of you & thankful to fantastic co-mentors/collaborators🎉
SUMMARY OF H-1B EXECUTIVE ORDER - ENTRY BAN: No H-1B visa holder may enter the United States beginning Sunday September 21st, including current visa holders, unles they pay $100K to enter. - VISA FEE: New H-1B and H-1B extensions must pay 100K to be processed and 100K per year…
A timeless model for writing a research summary. 1/2
It's like we're living a nightmare. We have conspiracy wackos running our nation's most important health agencies. And people are going to die. This shouldn't be another left/right, red/blue issue. RFK Jr. has to go. And Republicans should just say what they know is true.
We need a Secretary of Health and Human Services. Not a Secretary of Conspiracies. Not a Secretary of Measles and Food Poisoning. Not a Secretary of Cancelled Research and Chemtrail Nonsense. RFK Jr. is burning down our public health system from the inside. Fire him.
Wow. California, Oregon and Washington have joined forces to create their own health alliance saying that the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science.”
Worth a read. Very proud to have worked with @kathleen_neuzil in the past and so thankful to both of these incredible #scientists for standing up for #vaccines and #publichealth. Whistle-Blower Complaints Detail Tension Over Vaccines at N.I.H. nytimes.com/2025/09/04/hea…
The former NIH infectious-diseases and the international-research chiefs allege in a whistleblower complaint they were demoted after objecting to Trump's efforts to undermine vaccines, flout court orders, and withhold research money, NYT reports. nytimes.com/2025/09/04/hea…

Whistle-Blower Complaints Detail Tension Over Vaccines at N.I.H. (Gift Article)
Two former agency leaders said the administration’s “hostility” toward vaccines had spread to the agency’s top ranks.
As I told CNN last night, RFK Jr. never should have been confirmed. He’s already done immense damage to public health infrastructure and trust in vaccines. The stakes are too high to let this continue. He needs to go.
People objecting to hepatitis B vaccination apparently have never treated patients like this. Their life ending with a terrible liver disease or else requiring a transplantation. This is about preventing illnesses like this. I have the experience of treating patients infected…
Florida eliminated vaccine requirements for polio, measles, and other diseases that will now cause preventable suffering for children and many others. They're destroying one of humanity's greatest public health triumph for absolutely no reason. us.cnn.com/2025/09/03/hea…
Whatever you may think about DEI. The bottom line is that every NIH grant goes through a rigorous peer review process to vet the science and the people doing it. Only the top scored grants get funded. The funding cuts/ chaos are stopping research programs. People are losing jobs.
The future of research on cancer and Alzheimer’s is uncertain with federal cuts. “I'm feeling pretty demoralized,” said neuroscientist @JasonSynaptic. kuer.org/health/2025-09…
During his tenure, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has followed a consistent playbook: deny, distract, and destroy. Every American, regardless of political belief, should be alarmed at the assault that’s taking place against our health protections.
In response to the dismantling of the CDC, California, Oregon, and Washington have launched the West Coast Health Alliance, which will make their own science-based vaccine guidelines, and make sure vaccines are accessible to everyone.
So the theory is that CDC, FDA, NIH, DoD, EMA, ECDC, WHO, MHRA (UK), Health Canada, TGA (Australia), PMDA (Japan), Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (Germany), ANSM (France), Swissmedic (Switzerland), and regulators across Asia, along with NEJM, JAMA, Lancet, BMJ, Nature Medicine, Science,…
Thank you, President Trump, for your commitment to Gold Standard Science.
Senator @SenBillCassidy is absolutely correct: hepatitis B vaccine has saved a generation of Americans from liver cancer cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/6…
Nine former CDC directors who served under Republican and Democratic presidents warn that the damage RFK Jr is doing to America's public health system is "unlike anything our country has ever experienced."
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." nytimes.com/2025/09/01/opi…
Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness. On a plane, I want a pilot. In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence. Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data. Ignore it and we…
RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.
