What's New In Science - Not much...

Let's talk about the government shutdown and its impact on scientific research

This blog and associated social media accounts are separate from my role as a postdoctoral fellow. Opinions are my own and do not reflect that of my employer or affiliated programs.

Keeping up with new research is tough, even for scientists. That’s why I created What’s New in Science (WNIS), a series where I break down some of the most interesting new studies and share my perspective on why they matter.

Here, you'll find research summaries on everything from genetic discoveries to emerging treatments for chronic illnesses like EDS, POTS, MCAS, chronic pain, ME/CFS, and Long COVID. I also cover new scientific tools, clinical breakthroughs, and new medications that may be of interest.

Each post includes a quick, readable summary with links to the full article so you can dive deeper if you’d like to.

October 19, 2025 - While I usually use this to highlight new research, this What’s New in Science is about the ongoing U.S. government shutdown and the consequences for science.
