Anarchy!

Heading into May of 2026 and so far this year, no new grants have been issued by the National Institutes of Health, National Eye Institute. No council meetings have been scheduled. An absolute, unmitigated disaster for vision research is setting up.

Here’s the deal with the FY26 NIH funding bill: One line in the 1000+ pg bill = significantly less science. The increase to ~40% of grants moving to MYF is estimated to result in a 35% decrease in the NUMBER of NIH grants funded annually—moving the paylines from 10% to around 4%. THIS IS BAD.

Scientific journals: we don’t want you using generative AI because it makes shit up. Same journal: here is an AI summary or evaluation of this paper. This might be more useful than the actual abstract or paper that the authors freaking wrote Same journal: AI cover art which makes no sense? Oooh!

Very bad: OSU unilaterally cancelled the registration of grad students attending the joint conference of the National Society of Black Physicists and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists. And OSU won't fund recruiting at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science.

Thrilled to be part of this rigorous analysis using scRNAseq of the developing anterior segment of the eye. This paper focuses on the Schlemm’s canal and Trabecular Meshwork to reveal new molecular details controlling formation of these tissues!! @osuwexmed.bsky.social

💉👀 Ozempic. What does the eye have to do with it? Let’s take a look at the latest evidence published in @jamanetworkopen.com Thank you to @aunz.theconversation.com for inviting me to write this piece. Was a pleasure to write with @petetheteapot.bsky.social from @ki.se

The Conversation AUNZ@aunz.theconversation.com

A new study shows drugs such as Ozempic come with a small but increased risk of a condition known as an ‘eye stroke’. 👉 Read the full story: theconversation.com/ozempic...

Have you benefited from a medical treatment or know someone who has? This one man wants to shut it all down. It sounds nonsensical and mad. And it is. But Russell Vought is head of the OMB, wants to and can do it. Call your members of Congress. Get rid of Vought, not medical research.
