Wanted to check-in with these new @NIH changes that are going to affect so many. First let me remind everyone: I run 6 hybrid clinical/research centers, each with a specific clinical focus. Unlike the vast majority of my colleagues, federal funding sources account for less 1/

[Danny Crichton @DannyCrichton]

This would massacre most major R1 universities. Stanford, Harvard et al basically run entirely on NIH/NSF indirect cost reimbursements. Everything from librarians and computer clusters to real estate and lab space are paid out of these funds – there are no endowments that cover them.

[Jonathan Kipnis 🟦 @jonykipnis]

My prediction is that the med schools, which are the most affected by NIH indirect cuts, will go after faculty salaries, # of graduate student slots, prices for core facilities and mouse housing, admin support. Although I hope this idiotic decision will be reversed due to legal implications.

Impact of NIH funding in Georgia:
NIH AWARDS FUNDING: $780 M
JOBS SUPPORTED: 11,816
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY SUPPORTED: $2.18 B
Bio Industry Impact in the State:
Jobs: 37,031
Businesses: 3,284
Cutting NIH indirects will kill jobs and cause a recession. https://t.co/SGxtjfXuIe

It's not "breaking news" now, since it was announced by NIH yesterday. But it is breaking.......

[F. Perry Wilson, MD MSCE @fperrywilson]

NIH has announced a cut in the "indirect rate" to 15% across the board, in a move that appears to be retroactive to even existing grants. This is a bloodbath for research institutions throughout the country.
Brief explainer for those not in this world:

[Andrea C. Love, PhD @dr_andrealove]

The NIH 15% cap on indirect costs will kneecap biomedical research in the US.

Without essential infrastructure, there will be:

Staff cuts
Lab closures
Fewer research projects
Less scientific progress
Loss of talent

The US will no longer lead scientific & medical innovation.

[Prof. Akiko Iwasaki @VirusesImmunity]

NIH indirect costs fund the backbone of research: maintaining labs, ensuring safety, and supporting admin work. These are essential for groundbreaking discoveries. Drastic cuts to NIH indirect rates are detrimental to academic biomedical research.

[Florian Krammer @florian_krammer]

1) Since there is a lot of confusion about the reduction of the overhead rate on NIH grants to 15% (see here: https://t.co/K8dtrCzDnj) I'll do a little tweetorial (or X-torial?) about it.

“The care I provided in the delivery room to ensure that this baby survived: 1.94 RVUs (code 99464). The bundle of services my obstetrical colleagues provided for this mother, including her 15 prenatal appointments, her labor, her vaginal delivery, and her postpartum care: 36.58 RVUs (code 59400). Elsewhere in the hospital, if my physician colleagues perform 30 minutes of hair removal by electrolysis: 264.87 RVUs (code 17380).”

Watching the Deepseek r1 model reason through and basically one-shot complex medical scenarios is... humbling!
I've been plugging in some of my more complex recent cases, and it slices through them like a pro.
How long until people will trust the AI over human doctors?

[Yung Gonzaga @YungGonzaga]

In my opinion, one of the best paragraphs ever written about medicine.

Incredibly heartwarming story of a woman’s gift to an incredibly special little boy. Proud of our @CleClinicMD @CleClinicKids #Transplant #Hepatology teams and my wonderful colleagues who give amazing care and hope to our patients. https://t.co/OYOppmiWj2

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

Congrats John and Geoff!
Both are former colleagues.
I did my postdoc in Geoff's lab in Toronto.
After that, I joined Bell Labs, where John was a part-time scientist (and a professor at Caltech).
In fact, John was the reason why the department I joined was working on neural nets.

I first met both of them in 1985.
I met John at a workshop in Les Houches in early 1985.
I met Geoff at the Cognitiva conference in Paris in June 1985.

HUGE NEWS 👇👇👇I could not be more excited to be working with Mitchell Cohen again and welcome him to @StanfordChild @StanfordPedsGI! Mitch is the epitome of a servant leader. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to continue to learn from him!

[Sandra Kim MD @SCKimIBDMD]

@RachaKhalafMD @NASPGHAN This is amazing! I hope more societies adopt this in conference planning!

[Sana Syed @SyedLabGI_AI]

Totally agree! @NASPGHAN @BenjamminGold @jlightdale @ngleevick!

[Racha Khalaf, MD @pedsgidoctora]

This is phenomenal. As I am planning to take my infant to conferences with me this fall I hope other societies are as supportive of working parents and nursing mothers. @NASPGHAN will we have some of these accommodations?
