I don't think Twitter works for this anymore, but I had luck with it just <1 year ago, so let's try again!

I am recruiting multiple postdoc positions in Alzheimer’s and Dementia, Epidemiology, and Translational Neuroscience!
Plz RT!

Can someone start a journal called “Cell Atlases” so that the rest of the journals can go back to publishing interesting things?

1. what?

[Drug Monkey @drugmonkeyblog]

New NIH policy demands advance approval of any foreign co-authors https://t.co/4nPUFhDsoA via @drugmonkeyblog

[Salim S. Hayek, MD @salimhayek]

Physician-scientist pipeline is a retention problem, not a recruitment problem. We lose people in years 5–6 when revisions stack and RVUs absorb protected time. This month's JCI editorial names the connective tissue departments don't fund. https://t.co/DqHaZ7kNZU

Our new paper is out!

[Headache Journal @HeadacheJournal]

#Triptans or #gepants for #migraine?

Insights from the HeAD–US study:
�� Similar 2-hour relief
⏳ Gepants → better 24-hour relief
🧠 Short-term ≈ similar
📈 Sustained relief may differ

@PTenigma How do you find files on your desktop?

[Denis Wirtz @deniswirtz]

Federal funding for US biomedical research is moribund.

Since October 1 2025, NIH is -80% in new grants and -70% in values (total dollars).

Labs are closing down and researchers are leaving science.

To what end?

[Max Kozlov @maxdkozlov]

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.

The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

@aclong111 Accepting the challenge. 2y from submission to funding. 6m backdated.
3y from first submission that was rejected. The research was not considered novel by the time funded.

[Ali Ezzati @AE_MD]

@mukundiyngr There are so many things wrong with this list. The Ns are inflated. Also total $$ by far is more important than N of grants. 1 impactful project beats 1000 half baked ones.

"The term [provider] should not be used to describe physicians, nor should physicians use it to describe themselves, their team members, or their trainees."

The new @NIH SciENcv Biosketch pissed me off so much today (lost 4 hours of my life) that I built a quick NIH Biosketch format converter. It lets you format each section while seeing both the preview and the HTML code at the same time.

It restored my sanity, a little.

Enjoy.

[Ali Ezzati @AE_MD]

@PTenigma Also, as a scientist for whom English is a second language, I view AI-assisted editing as an advantage, as it helps reduce bias toward more polished writing and allows greater focus on the underlying science.

[Ali Ezzati @AE_MD]

@PTenigma Honestly I find the requirements not to use AI rediculous. If anything editing texts with Ai has led to much improved writing in papers and grants.

[Frank Yeh @FangChengYeh]

Want to make the new #NIH #biosketch easier to read?

By default, #SciENcv outputs the Bio with essentially no formatting, which can be hard on reviewers.

You can use simple HTML—<b>...</b> for bold and <br> for line breaks—to improve readability in the BioSketch fields.

[Ali Ezzati @AE_MD]

@PTenigma I tried with GPT Pro and it failed badly. In fact it apologized to me as everyone is annoyed about it! So I just broke it in parts and and asked GPT to respond part by part for me to copy-paste. It took an hour for me. It looks like the ugliest thing I've ever created. 🤦🏻😑

[Ali Ezzati @AE_MD]

@BarteltLab Until the boomers decide to retire. Sorry to to disappoint, it just means it's not going to happen.

[Ali Ezzati @AE_MD]

@PTenigma Trick question or the cool bird?

[Ali Ezzati @AE_MD]

@drugmonkeyblog @inflammgenetics People could manually add those products to pubmed too. And some junior scientists were actually don't it.
Google scholar does all of these the best. Just allowing a link to that would have solved it.
