President Donald Trump's administration put dozens of college campuses under investigation last year and cut federal funding unless they came in line with his Republican agenda.

Old friend and new @jhucompsci.bsky.social colleague @benlangmead.bsky.social visited the NIH today and presented a great talk on pangenomes and BWT at exactly the level I need to hear it 🚣 🚣 🚣 😆 Thank you Ben!
