Massive 10+ year effort in lab spearheaded by @leonardoaparrar and Kayal (secret account 🤔). Unreal cover by @EmmaVIDALL that says it all.
2023's final issue is out! Cover story is from @Roy_Lab_Thinks's lab revealing an unexpected physiologic role for α-synuclein phosphorylation in clustering synaptic vesicles and restricting neurotransmitter release. Read it here

How will labs work without money? "No one at NIH can do anything" is the answer I got from someone high up. Goal seems to be to strangle #scientists out. If you don't think it's happening to you, just wait.
NIH is slow to send funds for non-competing renewals. This is disrupting research in many labs, including mine. I was expecting payment for one NINDS grant 2 months ago, but I'm still waiting. I don't understand exactly why this is happening. It'd be impossible for us to.

p-tau is high in newborns, p-Ser129 seen in normal brains (, Abeta is present in cognitively normal folks, & high cholesterol doesn't always cause cardiac arrest. Repeat after me: Chronic disease is not like Infectious disease.

"FOCUS is your most valuable resource".
Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit social media. This was the largest study on emotional health in history. The results were so shocking, scientists called it "comparable to therapy.". Here's what happens when you break free from the algorithm: 🧵

CRISPR just scored its biggest win yet against Huntington's. The secret? A delivery system called RIDE that sneaks into neurons, makes its edit, then vanishes in 72 hours. Here's what happened 🧵👇

Researchers funded by the NIH will be required to make their scientific papers available to read for free as soon as they are published.

Epic roast.
I mean, I guess I could lose a few pounds, but as I get close to 70 yo, hopefully Joe will look as good. Here I am in a new pic with my pretty wife Ann of almost 40 years of marriage. In the meantime I helped pioneer low cost vaccines that have reached 100 million people

Off to GRC #Alzheimers. #scientists must go on like this train. #science is too big to be destroyed by mere humans. It will prevail.

Funded grants are not being paid. Not just the targeted universities but everywhere else as well. Scientists are not the most vocal population but societies collapse when #science collapses. Its happened many times in history.

Looking forward to speaking @GordonConf about gene-editing and #Alzheimers (my talk is on the last day as usual :). Taking @Amtrak from San Diego to Ventura this time, lets see how that goes.
