We were told NIH funding cuts were about eliminating DEI.
But the data now shows grants are down across nearly every field of medicine: cancer, diabetes, mental health, brain disorders.
With the greatest cuts hitting Alzheimer’s research, down more than 50%.
A bit late to post, but what an amazing #ASCB conference this year! This has been such a rewarding experience to close out my PhD. Cheers to new friends and old, I can't wait to see what the future holds! And a huge thank you to everyone who has supported this journey.
I will do a little self-promo and talk about some of my projects outside of academia. I am part of a Dungeons and Dragons podcast that will be releasing every other Monday. Hope you give us a listen! Episode 1 and 2 are out now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!
I am thrilled to announce that @ScholarlyScouts has formed a partnership with the @musc_cgs Science Communications Internship Program! Students who publish a STEM-related blog on our website will be able to use this to build their portfolios and towards badges.

Did a little exploring inbetween sessions! Conferences are full of so much exciting science and are also such a wonderful way to do a little sightseeing #cellbio2023
This is the best holiday present: the PhD student in the lab Alyssa Risner @ScienceAlyssa just received the NOA for her NIDDK F31 application! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS Alyssa! Well done! @musc_cgs@MUSCddrcc@MUSC_COM
Was lots of fun in our @muschollings Cancer Biology and Immunology retreat today! Outstanding job by the lab’s graduate students Alyssa Risner @ScienceAlyssa and Christina Kingsley @toothscience presenting their work!
