Like you, I have watched with dismay and grave concern a number of actions taken by the Administration in the past few weeks that will prove devastating to scientific research in the U.S. The scientific enterprise depends on robust research investment from the federal government, much of it channeled into U.S. universities through federal grants.

Michelle Monje, professor of pediatric neuro-oncology at Stanford University and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, and Frank Winkler, professor of neuro-oncology at Heidelberg University, were awarded the Brain Prize 2025 for pioneering the field of cancer neuroscience.
