Funding cuts are pushing U.S. academic science to a breaking point. From grad students to tenured faculty, researchers face shrinking jobs, frozen grants, and growing pressure to leave the field or the country. @k_langin

A new mRNA-based approach could transform how we deliver CAR-T cell therapy by enabling the body to engineer its own cancer/autoimmunity fighting cells. Faster and potentially safer, this strategy may overcome barriers in current CAR-T production.

Injections of mRNA may offer a simpler, cheaper way to build powerful CAR-T cells

As PIs gain experience, the perceived gap between them and their lab members often widens and leads to shifting lab dynamics, feedback interpretation, and open debate.
nature.com
Nature - Laboratory dynamics can change as the age and experience of the principal investigator increase. But there are ways to combat this.
