Very sad to hear that UMass is rescinding all PhD admissions for Fall 2025. This means there will be no new PhD cohort, and UMass will not have a graduating class that year. This is just unprecedented and I am so very sorry for all the affected students.
Community note
This is incorrect. UMass is NOT rescinding all PhD admissions for Fall 2025. Only the Morningside Graduate School has done this. Other UMass programs have not.

Thank you Cancer World for the fun interview and for your interest in cancer immunology !
📣 🏆 The prestigious 2025 #SjöbergPrize ($1,000,000) has been awarded to Dr. @MiriamMerad , for her pioneering research on tissue-resident macrophages and their role in #CancerImmunity. 🔬🧬
Her work has unveiled new targets for #cancer therapies, offering hope for more effective treatments.
Her enthusiasm for #oncology is palpable. Her passion is not merely intellectual—it is deeply personal, rooted in years of observation, hands-on research, and an unwavering drive to find better cancer treatments. When asked about her passion for her work, she simply laughs and responds with an undeniable truth: “I love these cells. That’s true. I love these cells.”
Read the full article to explore her early career journey, the challenges she overcame as a #WomanScientist, the clinical translation of her #discovery, gain insights from Prof. Urban Lendahl, Secretary of the Prize Committee, on the significance of her work, and much more 👇

Very inspired that Yaghi, a Palestinian refugee who came to the U.S. at 15 received the 2025 chemistry #NobelPrize . A reminder of the power of education to unleash talent, a testament to U.S. capacity to attract/ enable talent, and how much progress a we lose to incessant wars
This year’s chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1965 to parents who were refugees from Palestine. When we spoke to him he shared his story:
“I grew up in a very humble home, we were a dozen of us in one room, sharing it with the cattle that we used to raise. I was born in a family of refugees, and my parents could barely read or write. My father finished sixth grade and my mother couldn’t read or write. It’s quite a journey. Science allows you to do it. Science is the greatest equalising force in the world.
Smart people, talented people, skilled people exist everywhere. That’s why we really should focus on unleashing their potential through providing them with opportunity.”
Today Yaghi shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson for their work developing metal–organic frameworks.

What an honor to be listed among these talents. I came to America in 1998 with a J Visa after living in 2 continents. America taught me the power of diversity and empowerment. The true basis of America's exceptionalism and the America I love. @carnegiecorp carnegie.io/2VwZ21X

This study claims to measure the effect of IL6R blockade therapy on PBMC inflammatory programs - yet there are no pretreatment measurement ! I understand the urgency to share COVID 19 data but ininterpretable data are never useful even « or especially» during a pandemic !
Tocilizumab treatment in severe COVID-19 patients attenuates the inflammatory storm incited by monocyte centric immune interactions revealed by single-cell analysis biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv

Well Dr Conley: you should be telling people that they should be afraid of COVID because in contrast to the president, they are not being tested everyday and they won't be airlifted to a hospital and treated in the hrs following a positive test #CovidKills #MasksSaveLives
“Don’t be afraid of Covid,” Trump tweeted of the virus that's infected more than 7.4 million Americans, killed nearly 210,000 and resulted in the president getting airlifted to a hospital.
Asked about the tweet, Dr. Sean Conley declined to comment politi.co/33ziwr0
