James Woods @RealJamesWoods: Scott, Mitch McConnell is a Trump-hating thorn in the side of the American people. We wish him well in his retirement, which should start today, thank you. And hopefully you will, having done your gracious duty, now work to get a replacement who will get the SAVE ACT passed. Quoted Post: Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY - I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history. I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible. https://x.com/ScottJenningsKY/status/2074537046752845872 https://x.com/RealJamesWoods/status/2074561711810744591
Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD @NIHDirector_Jay - It was my pleasure to attend the portrait unveiling ceremony that the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) hosted for Norman "Ned" Sharpless, M.D., on the main NIH campus in Bethesda. Dr. Sharpless served with distinction in a variety of federal science roles, most notably as director of NIH's National Cancer Institute (NCI) from 2017-2022. During his tenure, he championed investigator-initiated science, advanced childhood cancer research, and promoted big data approaches to oncology, including the Childhood Cancer Data Initiative. Beyond that, Dr. Sharpless led top research on tumor suppressor genes, cellular senescence, aging, and cancer biology.
