We need to address this as a community and demand from NIH that they change this embarrassing statistic if we want the academic enterprise to survive. The average age for a first RO1 should be 32, not 44!!

The mean age of men and women receiving their first R01 is now 44 years of age. We need to ask ourselves why and how we can change this. This is a decade or more behind many entrepreneurs.

@VasileVanatoru @AaronRodgers12 Tony Fauci is an eminent virologist, molecular biologist and scientist. He is therefore highly qualified to comment and to help our government make the best possible decisions for the good of everyone. This is why both Trump and Biden selected him to steer our COVID-19 response

@JamieMetzl Joe Rogan is not a political threat!. He is an idiot with a megaphone. The idea of asking him not to entertain fringe ideas is antithetical to the way he operates. He is famous and rich because he brings these lunatics on his show and gives them a voice not despite of it.
