Excellent talk at #MELODEM2025 by @sfackley.bsky.social evaluating amyloid as a surrogate marker with individual level A4 trial data
One big take away — 5 years was not enough time to see cognitive decline in the placebo group == a major challenge

This is both ethically distressing and scientifically flawed reasoning for discontinuing needed research to ensure ALL humans are in our science.

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world.

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research
Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

"VA researchers whose contracts are about to expire . . . will not be renewed, even when funding [through extramural grants is] in place to pay them. Should the VA continue this policy . . . over the months to come, the entire VA research workforce could be decimated."
NIH cuts are getting the press, but VA research is getting slashed too. What do we lose when VA research goes away? Here's some greatest hits: The nicotine patch, invention of the cardiac pacemaker, first successful liver transplant, development of the CAT/CT scan

VA Research Funding Slashed
Though not as prominent as the NIH, VA researchers play a major role in advancing basic health science. Hundreds of projects have been cut.

Scientists and journalists need to figure out right quick how to explain to the average person how a massive change in research indirects will impact the medical care they and their children get (eg at the local children’s hospital), the education their children will get, the price of tuition, etc.

The new NIH policy for indirect costs going forward is capped at 15%.
This is forever going to alter the science ecosystem, upending and destroying a number of programs at universities across the country.
