The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has been in the spotlight lately for terminating research grants, causing concern among early career scientists. This move has impeded the career paths of many young researchers, leading some to even consider alternative careers, such as becoming plumbers. However, amidst this gloom, there is a ray of hope in the form of STAT Wunderkinds. This platform aims to celebrate early-career researchers by allowing nominations for deserving individuals.

In a recent setback for pandemic preparedness, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has decided to cancel a significant contract with Moderna. This contract, valued at nearly $600 million, was intended for the development, testing, and licensing of vaccines for flu strains that could potentially trigger future pandemics. These strains include the H5N1 bird flu virus, which has the potential to cause widespread devastation if not properly addressed.

Unfortunately, the details of this cancellation are exclusive to STAT+ subscribers.
