The staffing crunch is so severe that the NIMH has asked its intramural grad students and postdocs to volunteer in this admin capacity temporarily.

Also: the institute's acting deputy director - the second in charge - is devoting half of her time to grants management.

@jpodhoretz Hmm. You mean I am not the only one who liked Jane Eyre more than Wuthering Heights?

NEW: A serious staffing shortage — of the Trump admin's own making — is delaying the agency's ability to send billions to universities around the US, leaving labs reeling.

“I thought we were at rock bottom”, a senior NIH official said. “We are below rock bottom now.”

Note: @Doudna_lab is not an official account and appears to be impersonating the lab. We are working to have it taken down.

We need a more nimble regulatory framework for outbreaks like hantavirus.

There is already a compelling therapeutic candidate: a human mAb isolated from a recovered patient, with strong preclinical activity against the Andes variant.

Yet access remains months to years away.

A short write-up about the journey of our lab. Starting as T cell immunologists, we stumbled across Wnt signaling in flies and frogs. Worked on colon cancer. Then Nick Barker (left) discovered the gut stem cell and Toshi Sato invented organoids https://t.co/EzK2hhyONc
