Our work just came out today in print form in Nat Micro. Really a tour de force from Hisham Alrubaye on sexual development in Toxoplasma gondii. Well done!

Putting RFK Jr. in charge of the nation’s public health is a huge mistake.
When dangerous diseases resurface and people can’t access lifesaving vaccines, all Americans will suffer — and RFK Jr.’s family could keep getting richer thanks to his serious conflicts of interest.

RFK Jr. is about the least qualified person to be in charge of the nation’s health as head of HHS. He's fully on board for Donald Trump's fascist takeover of the government.
But he used to sing a very different tune years ago.
What happened to this RFK Jr.?

I don't think the richest person in the world should be holding back funding for cancer research in violation of both the law and court orders
12 Feb 2025
98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

Trump's proposal is ILLEGAL & amounts to an indiscriminate funding cut for research centers of all sizes, NOT just Ivies. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, & derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60% that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

if this holds, this will cripple US science, with ramifications that cant be easily reversed

I hate having to share this, but I know I’m not alone. I had a miscarriage post-Roe while visiting family in Texas in 2022. I almost died — after 7-8 hours of begging, I got an emergency D&C and transfusion. They don’t mind letting women die. apnews.com/article/supreme-c…

The Hartman lab is a great place to do top notch research on emerging viruses, particularly Rift Valley fever virus. We have a great team of undergrads, MS/PhD students, techs, post-docs and faculty. Bonus: we regularly have homemade baked goods at lab meetings.

Great news ... but a stable model has to be found ... and I don't feel that we should give @NIAIDFunding a free pass on this. I am still puzzled that one would cut funding to something we urgently need and replace it with something few of us have asked for or need for.
