The proposed FY2027 budget includes a $5.8B (−12.3%) cut to the NIH. United for Medical Research calculated this could cost ~50,000 jobs and $11.6B in economic activity, with 26 states losing >$100M each. A tragedy for science, patients, and the economy. #NIH

It’s well known that inflammation increases cancer risk, but how?

The answer: the epigenome "remembers" inflammation and primes stem cells for cancer.

@EricTopol @AllenInstitute @Nature Why immune system goes haywire with age?? Is it because it communicate with all organs and tissues, and collect all the information which we are reading out loud.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message from it.

New meta-analysis: Lifting weights beats every other form of exercise for protecting your brain as you age.

Just 2x/week, 45 min sessions → biggest boost in global cognition + inhibitory control.

Likely mechanisms: More BDNF, better insulin sensitivity, reduced inflammation, improved blood flow.

Pick up the weights. Your brain will thank you for decades to come.

तथाकथित नेशनल मीडिया देश की संवेदना से किस कदर अनजान व कटा हुआ है इसका प्रमाण यही है कि पूर्वोत्तर के इस शताब्दी के सबसे बड़े शोक से पूरी तरह बेख़बर मीडिया एक क्रिकेट मैच के महिमागान में जुटा हुआ है। दावे के साथ कह सकता हूँ कि मैंने अपने जीवन में किसी कलाकार के लिए यह पागलपन यह प्रेम नहीं देखा जैसा ज़ुबीन को लेकर आसाम और पूर्वोत्तर में है। दो दिन से एक पूरा प्रदेश ग़म में जैसे ठहर सा गया है, गलियाँ-सड़क-चौराहे भरे पड़े हैं उसके रोते-बिलखते चाहने वालों से। मुख्यमंत्री से लेकर गोद में शिशु लेकर रास्तों पर खड़ी माँएँ उसके गाने गा-गाकर रो रहीं हैं। लेकिन नेशनल मीडिया में किसी ने इस महान कलाकार के अपने लोगों से इस कदर जुड़ाव पर कोई विशेष कार्यकम नहीं किया। खैर ज़ुबीन का काम और नाम इन लोगों की आत्ममुग्धता से बहुत बड़ा है 💔🙏

Legend David Baltimore died yesterday. He understood the way things should work: "the real contribution of @MIT is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It takes ideas seriously, but the people are relatively informal. They are not self-aggrandizing the way academics can be.

@Madam_Mito Thanks for sharing this. How many such follow-up studies are there. I would really appreciate it if you could find some for me. I failed utterly 😞

@Ashu_Mangalam Wow! Wonderful! Congratulations, Shailesh.
