Wanted to check-in with these new @NIH changes that are going to affect so many. First let me remind everyone: I run 6 hybrid clinical/research centers, each with a specific clinical focus. Unlike the vast majority of my colleagues, federal funding sources account for less 1/

This would massacre most major R1 universities. Stanford, Harvard et al basically run entirely on NIH/NSF indirect cost reimbursements. Everything from librarians and computer clusters to real estate and lab space are paid out of these funds – there are no endowments that cover

My prediction is that the med schools, which are the most affected by NIH indirect cuts, will go after faculty salaries, # of graduate student slots, prices for core facilities and mouse housing, admin support. Although I hope this idiotic decision will be reversed due to legal

Impact of NIH funding in Georgia: NIH AWARDS FUNDING: $780 M JOBS SUPPORTED: 11,816 ECONOMIC ACTIVITY SUPPORTED: $2.18 B Bio Industry Impact in the State: Jobs: 37,031 Businesses: 3,284 Cutting NIH indirects will kill jobs and cause a recession.

It's not "breaking news" now, since it was announced by NIH yesterday. But it is breaking....... https://t.co/k3aTR8SbyT

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: https://t.co/VUP7tWat7O

The NIH 15% cap on indirect costs will kneecap biomedical research in the US. Without essential infrastructure, there will be: Staff cuts Lab closures Fewer research projects Less scientific progress Loss of talent The US will no longer lead scientific & medical innovation.

NIH indirect costs fund the backbone of research: maintaining labs, ensuring safety, and supporting admin work. These are essential for groundbreaking discoveries. Drastic cuts to NIH indirect rates are detrimental to academic biomedical research.

1) Since there is a lot of confusion about the reduction of the overhead rate on NIH grants to 15% (see here: https://t.co/K8dtrCzDnj) I'll do a little tweetorial (or X-torial?) about it.

“The care I provided in the delivery room to ensure that this baby survived: 1.94 RVUs (code 99464). The bundle of services my obstetrical colleagues provided for this mother, including her 15 prenatal appointments, her labor, her vaginal delivery, and her postpartum care: 36.58

Watching the Deepseek r1 model reason through and basically one-shot complex medical scenarios is... humbling! I've been plugging in some of my more complex recent cases, and it slices through them like a pro. How long until people will trust the AI over human doctors?

In my opinion, one of the best paragraphs ever written about medicine. @VPrasadMDMPH @adamcifu

Incredibly heartwarming story of a woman’s gift to an incredibly special little boy. Proud of our @CleClinicMD @CleClinicKids #Transplant #Hepatology teams and my wonderful colleagues who give amazing care and hope to our patients.

Congrats John and Geoff! Both are former colleagues. I did my postdoc in Geoff's lab in Toronto. After that, I joined Bell Labs, where John was a part-time scientist (and a professor at Caltech). In fact, John was the reason why the department I joined was working on neural nets.

HUGE NEWS 👇👇👇I could not be more excited to be working with Mitchell Cohen again and welcome him to @StanfordChild @StanfordPedsGI! Mitch is the epitome of a servant leader. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to continue to learn from him!

@RachaKhalafMD @NASPGHAN This is amazing! I hope more societies adopt this in conference planning!

Totally agree! @NASPGHAN @BenjamminGold @jlightdale @ngleevick!

Thank you to all my mentors and collaborators 🥳 @ChrisKramerMD @mete_civelek @salernomdphd @SempreRossa @JLindnerMD @AmitRPatelMD @LabMcnamara @JamiesonBourque @SyedLabGI_AI @thriv_i @MattWolfMDPhD @NHosadurg
