I am really still in shock, but completely honored and humbled to receive an @NIHDirector @NIH_CommonFund New Innovator Award (DP2) to study the neural basis of interoception using novel transcriptomic methods. We are so excited for the opportunity to start this new chapter of research in the lab!

trials is a must. Complex chronic illnesses will not be solved with simple, one size fits all solutions. Going in with a cogent, well thought out strategy is crucial and I’m so grateful again for @polybioRF leading the thought around this. @NIHDirector and @RobertKennedyJr: if 4/

A request for the incoming @NIHDirector Director: Please increase the modular R01 DC budget cap that some ICs such as @NLM_NIH use. Budgeting two faculty at 20% effort each leaves .75 FTE of computational staff support to do all the work. Not enough for AI research! #nih #nlm

Immediate past president of the America Medical Association praising Dr. Jay Bhattacharya with the # FreedomOfExpression.

Turns out the AMA’s silence was more than complicity.

Jay Bhattacharya,whose proudest achievement as NIHDirector is the elimination of DEI from grants,confused a former Chicago Bulls basketball star(Derrick Rose)with a deceased policeman(David Rose). What does this say about him vis-a-vis African Americans? www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/nih-...
The NIH director’s visit has only deepened my concerns about him
I expected scientific ignorance, right-wing pandering and victimisation claims from Jay Bhattacharya. I was not disappointed, says David Sanders

A ‘pie in the sky’ goal when we started the lab quickly became a huge half-decade collab. effort that required oodles of assay devevelopment.
Deeply grateful to our @NIHDirector DP2 award that enabled this project. 🙏
Science like this depends on visionary funding. ✊
Happy editing! 🧬

@NIHDirector
Senate passes bill to avoid a government shutdown, ending funding fight at the 11th hour
President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill to fund the government through March 14. It does not address the debt ceiling, a key demand from President-elect Donald Trump.
