A table of funding for fiscal year 2025 and proposed for fiscal year 2026 by institute and center.
Now for the money...
Overall, the budget is essentially flat.
The biggest winner is NINDS with a 5.9% increase. The biggest losers are NIEHS and NIDDK.

How should you think about writing an email to a busy person? One rule is that you should spend at least ten times the time writing it as the other person will have to spend reading it. And there are other rules, too.

What is the feeling of discovery like, as a scientist? How is it unlike any other feeling a person can have? How uncommon is it?

I've been thinking about the "virtual cell" concept and wanted to write up a few thoughts. Specifically on how I think the prior experience in GWAS informs the most likely way these models will be useful.

Definitely true in medicine: When the costs of failure are high, the demo to product interval is long (e.g., Waymo).--Andrej Karpathy on the @dwarkesh.skystack.xyz podcast.

🚨 Agentic Systems in Radiology
Everyone’s talking about agents🕵️♀️🕵️♂️ — but what happens when you bring them into real clinical workflows?
Our new preprint explores the design, applications, challenges, and evaluation of LLM-based agents and agentic workflows in radiology 👇

Yes! A model trained with high quality healthcare data is usually better at a specific healthcare task than a general language model adapted to that task. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/o...

The phrase "artificial Intelligence" was born on this day 70 years ago. The phrase "artificial intelligence" was coined by computer scientist John McCarthy in 1955. He used the term in a proposal for the 1956 Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence, a workshop that is widely considered the founding event of the field. About the Dartmouth workshop The proposal: In 1955, McCarthy, along with Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon, proposed the idea that "every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it". The event: The two-month workshop took place in the summer of 1956 at Dartmouth College. The attendees: The workshop brought together key researchers who became leaders in early AI research and discussed how machines could use language, form abstractions, solve problems typically done by humans, and improve themselves. The legacy: The Dartmouth workshop solidified AI as an academic field and set its initial goals.
The phrase "artificial Intelligence" was born exactly 70 years ago.
