The research house of discovery, innovation, and positive impacts on health in America will crumble in a few months, if this is not stopped by the courts.
NIH has announced a cut in the "indirect rate" to 15% across the board, in a move that appears to be retroactive to even existing grants. This is a bloodbath for research institutions throughout the country. Brief explainer for those not in this world:

Where else in the microbiome sciences do graduate students go wheels up and over to Germany during their PhD training? I hope you're looking at your graduate student offer letter from @penn_state and signing yes to joining us and an industry leader in molecular diagnostics.
Congratulations to Naomi Huntley and Samantha Seibel, the selected participants for the 2025 summer internship program with @QIAGEN! 🎉🥼🇩🇪 @huckinstitutes @agsciences @PSUScience
