I'm excited to share our latest story from the @lydfinley lab, where we show that it's not just whether cells take up nutrients that matters, but how and where those metabolites are used . Out now in @NatMetabolism: https://t.co/L9vbN7MqiW 1/

Black women in the U.S. died at a rate nearly 3.5 times higher white women around the time of childbirth in 2023, as maternal mortality fell below prepandemic levels overall but racial gaps widened, according to federal health data.

Yes, the US government has been subsidizing science. That is not a weakness of our system. It is one of our greatest strengths. Turning our back on NIH and the institutions who do science for the sake of science, not profit, debases us all.

[F. Perry Wilson, MD MSCE @fperrywilson]

This is not "trimming the fat". This is cutting right to the bone. It will lead to mass layoffs at Academic research centers. These are places where FUNDAMENTAL science is done - science that industry won't always fund because the ROI isn't immediately clear.

More wild news for 2025: After an amazing time at @JoslinDiabetes, I’m starting my own lab this May at @UChicagoMed! Excited to explore RNA modifications, aging, & metabolism.

Huge thanks to mentors, colleagues, and the (mostly supportive, lol) anonymous reviewers!
