Associate Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. My lab does “lung stuff.” Opinions are only mine so chill.

In what might be my final post in this place... Our newest paper in Nature Cardiovascular Research! Led by an amazing grad student Joanna Wong. We demonstrate pulmonary veins sprout and differentiate into capillary cells after severe lung injury.

NIH is so f'ed
Robert Kennedy Jr., one of the most anti-science figures in the world, will oversee a vast bureaucracy with a discretionary budget of nearly $150 billion annually and a mandatory budget of nearly $2 trillion. HHS and its various agencies have profound regulatory powers that impact the healthcare of not only hundreds of millions of Americans but also the global healthcare community. The following agencies will be under his control as Secretary of Health and Human Services: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): Food and Drug Administration (FDA) National Institutes of Health (NIH) Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Administration for Community Living (ACL) Indian Health Service (IHS) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)

Pretty far down the list of impending doom concerns but I think us basic research biologists need to prepare for draconian NIH slashes and a new reality of 1-2 person labs. Hope I’m wrong.

Reposting this because it’s really clear that all we have for the immediate future and maybe the rest of our lives is solidarity with other Americans who haven’t lost their minds to hate and greed.
Whatever happens today I feel very lucky to live in West Philly, blanketed by both Harris Walz and Ceasefire Now signs. At least my neighbors have their heads screwed on straight!

@LauferTerri Honestly hate is a tough emotion but at this point they’ve earned your disdain. They chose this with eyes wide open and no excuses

@maryvaughan71 @hotdamhistorian Great question, and yeah I think it’s probably greed. But in some ways greed and fear (or the hate that arises from it) go hand in hand
