📢 My new @NEJM article: "U.S. Research Leadership at a Crossroads" examines the proposed 15% cap on @NIH indirect cost rates (ICRs). This threatens the foundation of US medical research leadership. #NIHfunding 1/6 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

www.nejm.org U.S. Research Leadership at a Crossroads — The Impact of Reducing NIH Indirect-Cost Coverage | NEJM The Trump administration’s proposed 15% cap on indirect-cost rates for National Institutes of Health grants risks upending the paradigm that underpins American leadership in medical research.

Delightful and wholesome parody. I wouldn't expect anything less from @sesamestreet, though the SNL cast cameos were a nice added touch.

I'm excited to share that I was elected to the @AmerMedicalAssn Board of Trustees to represent the voice of early-career physicians. From payment reform to AI to public trust, it's time to make sure our voices are heard loud and clear!

This is a huge problem and feeds into the same impoundment issues we've seen across the government. Congress renewed and expanded these NIH and other science funds so delaying their release is preventing this science from being done and seems like it is/should be illegal ...

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.

The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇
