Biomedical researchers breathed a collective sigh of relief after the White House loosened the purse strings that had hindered the U.S. National Institutes of Health from spending its 2026 budget on research grants. https://t.co/JfdIPMJ5OE

✅✅ A reminder by Dr. Rahaf Ajaj:

She wasn’t on the Stanford list… but she made it to the Nobel stage. 🏅

Mary E. Brunkow, one of this year’s Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, has only 34 published papers and an H-index of 21.

She never appeared in Stanford’s ranking of the world’s top 2% of scientists.
She didn’t chase citations, metrics, or the spotlight.

Yet, she became part of a discovery that changed how humanity understands the immune system.

Today, while many are busy chasing numbers, titles, and rankings —
she reminds us what truly matters in science: the question.

🔹 She wasn’t running after the lists.
🔹 She was running after the truth.

Because in the end, it’s not about how many papers you publish…
It’s about how deeply your idea can reshape the world.

Focus on your idea, not your ranking.

“It is hard to put into words the extent of the damage being done to the US research enterprise, which is of almost incalculable value to both the nation itself and the wider world… An assault on science and scientists anywhere is an assault on science and scientists everywhere.”

In a proof-of-concept study, @DuanWenzhen_Lab, et al, report new gene therapy targeting mutant #RNA from defective gene can reduce symptoms of #HuntingtonsDisease in mice. @HopkinsMedicine @UCSanDiego https://t.co/p4zMzYgEjN

[Nature Neuroscience @NatureNeuro]

Expressing an RNA-targeting CRISPR–Cas13d system in #Huntington's disease mouse model striatum selectively reduces mutant HTT mRNA and protein, improves motor coordination, and reduces atrophy
