@EricTopol @NEJM @ASCO Incredible progress! Thanks to Greg Verdine and the RevMed team. Let's keep pushing for progress. Combining with emerging immunotherapy approaches such as neoantigen vaccines will provide not just months but years - hopefully many - of quality life for patients.

@VelonCC Crazy Crazy finale at the Giro

@MadameSurgeon In this case, believe it was Greg Verdine's approach that enabled daraxonrasib

@AACRPres @AACR Congrats, Keith @AACRPres. You will make a great leader of AACR

BREAKING: In defiance of Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban, voters in Hungary today will vote against Orban’s authoritarianism. Today’s the day Orban’s reign ends. This is being almost entirely ignored by mainstream media. Let’s make it go viral.

The self-inflicted damage to our global leadership in biomedical innovation is horrifying to watch.

We need consistent and stable FDA to continue to lead the world in bringing breakthroughs to patients.

How would we have escaped the COVID pandemic without mRNA vaccines? How will we be prepared for future pandemics?

Let’s wake up here!

[David Slack 🇺🇦 @dslack62]

@OlenaRohoza Yes

[Robert Nelsen @rtnarch]

To invest the billions it costs to make new medicines, companies need to be able to trust the word and actions of the FDA. To capaciously change the rules at the end of the game ultimately hurts patients.

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

One of my former research assistants was killed by ICE in Minneapolis today😢

Alex was the kindest, sweetest human and a ICU nurse with a bright future ahead of him
May his soul rest in peace and this senseless carnage stop💔

There have been points in American history where the government and the populace faced a choice, and that choice ended up making a profound difference, for good or for ill.

The decision to build railroads across the country and to fuel the Industrial Revolution.
The decision to come to the aid of Europe and enter World War II.
The decision to throw tea in Boston Harbor!

I believe one such profound generational decision was the choice to invest heavily in a partnership between the government, academia, and the private sector to position the U.S. to lead the world in science and innovation. The prosperity we’ve enjoyed for 70-plus years – not to mention the inventions and cures that have resulted and bettered lives throughout the world – proceeded from that choice.

I wrote my 2026 annual letter on this topic because I fear we’re in the process of making a choice to abandon science and the scientific method. Whether we are consciously making that choice or sleepwalking into it is a matter of debate, but I wrote this letter because I think if we don’t reverse course and choose science, we will regret it for centuries.

Scientists traffic in optimism as well as skepticism, so I am going to choose to be optimistic that we will change course. I hope this letter helps to start some important conversations in Washington, and to change some minds.

I’m a doctor who has seen people die from vaccine-preventable diseases. What parents need to hear right now is vaccines for measles, polio, hepatitis B and other childhood diseases are safe and effective and will not cause autism. Any statement to the contrary is wrong, irresponsible, and actively makes Americans sicker.

We need to understand the real causes of autism. Studies show there’s a genetic predisposition when a mom who’s pregnant is exposed to environmental toxins which can increase a child’s risk of autism. It’s deeply troubling that, according to HHS officials, they appeared to have canceled hundreds of millions in research on autism genetics. Redirecting attention to factors we definitely know DO NOT cause autism denies families the answers they deserve.

We had two children die and many more hospitalized nationally from measles this year. Louisiana is experiencing its worst whooping cough outbreak in 35 years. Families are getting sick and people are dying from vaccine-preventable deaths, and that tragedy needs to stop.
