Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success. Data source: https://report.nih.gov/nihdatabook/report/302

The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted.

What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards.

Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

I am out of the country at present, so I may have missed it but has Congress declared war on Iran as per Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States?

Immunomodulation in the Treatment of Disseminated Coccidioidomycosis Severe coccidioidomycosis carries high mortality despite antifungals. We treated 18 refractory cases with immune modulation, including augmentation of Type

More adjunctive immunomodulation for an infectious disease!

Here it's dupilumab (IL-4/13 blockade) in coccidioidomycosis.

Case series only, but not overtly harmful and maybe even helpful.

Whose Airstrike Hit a Girls’ School in Iran? The U.S. Says It’s Still Investigating.

Alas, US is now investigating. Unfortunately, the same US govt that shoots citizens in Minneapolis calling them domestic terrorists has zero credibility for being truthful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/u...

Unfortunately, none of the three governments has much credibility.
I would guess a failed missile launch is more likely, unless AI was hallucinating picking targets for the Pentagon, which is also possible.

The school was hit. Who hit the school is unknown. Misfired missle by Iran is also possible. Knowing the direction of the building damage would be useful.

Is damage on the north side of building? => failed missile launch by Iran.
Is damage on south side of building? => US strike.

The direction of the damage, would help indicate from which direction the impact occurred. If on the north side of the building, then a failed missle launch by IGRC would be more likely than a US strike from the South or an Israeli strike from the West. Basic geography may help discern the truth.

The school was hit. Who hit the school is unknown. Misfired missle by Iran is also possible. Unfortunately, none of the three governments has any credibility. Knowing the direction of the building damage would be useful. Are the photos looking east, with damage on north side of building?

James Madison wrote "The constitution supposes, what the History of all Govts demonstrates, that the Executive is the branch of power most interested in war & most prone to it. <The Constituion> has accordingly with studied care, vested the question of war in the Legislature."

ICE detained a Minnesota teen, labeled him an ‘unaccompanied minor,’ and lost him The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

Here is an example of a child which ICE "found" in Minnesota -- and abducted from his parents. Transported out of State and then lost.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

New Documents Reveal a Controversial Vaccine Study's Unusual Path to CDC Approval A new investigation has found irregularities in the ethics review of a grant to study effects of a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine in Guinea-Bissau.

More reporting on the unethical US gov funded hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau. So many alarming aspects, among which CDC day-to-day operations is being run by a 24yo former DOGE with no public health training -- who scientifically approved this. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Living likes Kings and Queens while the peasants are the one’s paying taxes.

In Minneapolis, Whipple Federal building parking lot is full of vehicles, not being used; unmoved in last 18 hours since it snowed. We are paying for these new/rental vehicles. Waste.

Listen closely to every word of this

If ice wasn’t terrorizing their communities they would not have to wear masks. Their police do not have to wear mask. If ice treated people respectfully and lawfully they would not have to hide their faces.

ICE Agents Menaced Minnesota Protesters at Their Homes, Filings Say

ICE Agents Menaced Minnesota Protesters at Their Homes, Filings Say.
This might be why after ~2 months in Minneapolis, 3000+ ICE agents captured on average ~1.3 persons per agent (many of whom were legal residents, so likely <1 per agent) Waste of taxpayer $$$.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

"Newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the Complaint Affidavit, filed on January 16, 2026, as ECF 1-1, as wellas the preliminary-hearing testimony that was based on information presented" (i.e. ICE lied) www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Update on the vicious plastic snow shovel and broom handle attack -- Federal charges dismissed.

Bullets went through the door striking the man with legal status, which contradict ICE agent firing at point blank range in self defense. (through a door?)

Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
