Leaders of the House and Senate appropriations committees warned the White House not to impose new controls on how the NIH awards research grants. Political officials are weighing the creation of a commission to review awards. wapo.st/4AwjmCy

We're sorry Western Michigan. NCAA Football Oversight Committee said if instant replay protocals at Michigan had been correctly followed, game's outcome would have been different. But they can't overturn the result. Remains a Michigan victory on3.com/news/fbs-oversight-c…

The College Football Playoff has ruled to OVERRIDE Michigan’s win over WMU. The committee announces the game will officially be scored 12-7 in favor of Western Michigan. Historic 🤯
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This post from the known parody account @BallsackSports falsely claims the CFP overrode the result. No such ruling was made; Michigan's official 13-12 win stands. footballscoop.com/2026/09/08/nca… espn.com/college-footba… apnews.com/article/michig…

BREAKING: Western Michigan has submitted formal appeals to the NCAA FBS Oversight Committee and the College Football Playoff to be recognized as the winner of their game vs. Michigan. The MAC commissioner states, “After further study and investigation, it is now evident that replay protocol was not properly followed in determining whether time remained.”

As director of a PhD program in the US...every week we have to deal with complete stupidity from our own government about international students. Serves no purpose other than chaos.

What this graph doesn’t show is that many of the previous years’ recalls were voluntary after safety inspections found something during routine testing. This year’s recalls are happening bc people are getting sick and THEN the investigation and recall happens. That’s different.

AI did not suddenly discover a cancer vaccine. That is engagement bait. Moderna and Merck reported positive Phase 3 results for Intismeran plus Keytruda in 1,137 melanoma patients after surgery. This is a real and important scientific result. But the vaccine entered human trials in 2017, and Moderna was already using internal bioinformatics algorithms to select each patient’s tumor targets. AI helps analyze mutations and choose up to 34 neoantigens for the personalized treatment. It did not independently invent the vaccine or cure cancer. The full Phase 3 numbers have not been released. Overall survival is still unknown. The treatment is not approved, not a universal cancer vaccine and was tested with Keytruda, not alone. BioNTech, Roche, NEC, Transgene and Evaxion have used similar computational or machine learning approaches for years. This is a breakthrough in genomics, immunology, mRNA, manufacturing and clinical science. Rebranding all of that as “AI discovered a cancer vaccine today” is pure AI hype.
With cancer vaccines now being discovered with AI ($MRNA), it seems that the US government might actually grow its way out of its budget deficit. It feels like we're in the early innings of the healthcare system becoming unburdened by many terminal illnesses.
