NIH leader resigns after flap over risks of seasonal flu virus study Agency may be expanding list of pathogens subject to dangerous “gain-of-function” regulations

Another shake-up of scientific leadership is underway at NIH after a policy clash over the alleged dangers of funding a study that would alter seasonal flu viruses. That grant is now suspended, Science has learned, and the leader of the NIH division that oversaw it has resigned.

JAMA research letter, published online October 29, 2025, shows geographic distribution of healthcare professionals sponsored for H-1B visas in the US. Four US maps display percentages for physicians, advanced practice providers, dentists, and other health care workers.

JAMA research letter, published online October 29, 2025, shows geographic distribution of healthcare professionals sponsored for H-1B visas in the US. Four US maps display percentages for physicians, advanced practice providers, dentists, and other health care workers.

H-1B visa–sponsored physicians are twice as prevalent in rural counties and nearly 4 times as common in high-poverty areas, highlighting the potential harm of rising visa costs to health care access.

💥 #ImmunometabolismPower! Excited to have this officially out @cp-immunity.bsky.social 💥 We show that pathogens induce the host to produce oxidized lipids which rewire the #metabolism of #macrophages, causing #epigenetic modifications which dampen anti-inflammatory IL-10, exacerbating #inflammation!

Trump Deals A New Immigration Blow To International Students Trump officials have proposed a new rule limiting international students to fixed periods of entry, making a U.S. education more precarious.

Trump admin planning to change student visas from lasting for duration of academic program to fixed 4-yr term, and then much harder to renew
Could destroy US ability to attract global talent, particularly those seeking advanced degrees in STEM. The median time to complete a PhD is 5.7 yrs per NSF.
