The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine (Gift Article) A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

Good explainer for non-scientists on how the science budget hasn’t changed, but funding has. I do not envy anyone with a funding cliff in the next two years (myself included). Gift link:

Excited to share our new publication www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... led by @mauriciolnogueira.bsky.social group. Great work by Lívia Sacchetto and Cecilia Banho who led the deep sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, respectively, and to the rest of the team for their outstanding contributions.!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I will keep it short and sweet. Great news out of Brazil today 👇.
Congratulations to the interdisciplinary teams that made it a reality!

Why surveillance is important? 4 years ago we predicted a CHIKV outbreak by detecting its silent circulation (lnkd.in/gx7-4ZeQ). Today, the team @mauriciolnogueira.bsky.social provided a genomic and clinical time map of the massive CHIKV outbreak of 2024 in the area. #FAMERP #SBV #ASTMH #UTMB #ACAV
