Trump just gutted California’s clean air waivers. This will unleash 1.6 billion metric tons of emissions and saddle consumers with billions in extra fuel costs. It’s all part of this administration’s Polluters First Agenda.

All NIH and NSF grants for my entire team--and for all of Harvard, I guess?--have been terminated.
As provocative as that sounds, the practical effect is probably not much. Everything was already frozen. 🤷♂️
On the upside, it makes tracking terminated grants easier. No more guesswork at Harvard!

An emerging story over the past 1-2 weeks is that NIH has started reinstating some grants it previously terminated.
We don't yet fully understand what's happening, but it wasn't magic. Advocacy works. Keep up the pressure!

NEW: My latest story is about a surprising turn of events. A handful of scientists had NIH grants terminated by the Trump administration earlier this year — and now those grants are getting *reinstated*.
Yes, you read that right.

These NIH Grants Were Terminated. Now They’re Back.
A handful of scientists whose funding was canceled by the Trump administration are now seeing those decisions reversed — and it’s not always clear why.
