Great science happening at IUSM!

@aaup.org has prepared materials for faculty who face these threats and harassment. 6/ www.aaup.org/issues-highe...

🤩 JOB ALERT 🤩 Come work with me and two cutting-edge LC-MS/MS systems at our brand new Mass Spectrometry Facility @iimcb.bsky.social in Warsaw! Apply here tinyurl.com/y47mzafa or send any questions my way. #TeamMassSpec please share widely!

Great collaboration with my Bloomington colleague @cris-s.bsky.social out now in #mbio #teammassspec journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that. This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.   jenheemstra.com/book

Success! We've now run almost 2000 mouse cortex and plasma samples through this assay so expect more publications referencing it very soon. Much thanks to the Skyline team and @maccoss.bsky.social #modelad #teammassspec #proteomics www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The most recent streetview of the site has a nature preserve boundary sign still displayed more than two years after the transfer of the property.

I love my neighborhood and the people fighting for the good stuff in it.

New research shows that simply changing how a reaction vessel is positioned on a magnetic stirrer can significantly change a reaction's speed and product quality, influencing the reproducibility of results. #ChemSky #ScienceSky #EduSky

I did my own research ahead of next week's ACIP meeting rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/meet-the-a...

Quick PSA: If you are planning a trip to Fairbanks this upcoming aurora season, the extra hours of darkness in Dec-Jan likely won't help you. In Fairbanks under quiet conditions, auroras usually don't start to appear until 9-10 pm.

I'm working on a quickstart guide for people who want to plant native plants, but don't know all the things to consider when choosing plants. I think this is inherently challenging due to the absolute mountain of caveats that goes into doing this properly. However. Here's where we're at.

🚀 We're launching quantms.org — new hub for all #quantms related projects. Explore its components #pmultiqc & #ibaqpy, and check all reanalysis we're sharing with the community: quantms.org/datasets Meet the Team and Labs behind the project 👉 quantms.org/about #OpenSource #Proteomics #ASMS2025

Genuinely delighted that @unbreaking.org is now doing our work in public. I cannot tell you what it means to be a part of it, or how much its already helped me. If my Meeting the Moment newsletter has helped you, Unbreaking is going to bowl you over. So much more ambitious and helpful. Join us!

Haven't seen my other #teammassspec folks share this xkcd enough

This is a new image from #JWST. The bright points with spikes are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy. Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

Interested in learning #TopDownProteomics, join us for a @asms.org Short Course on Top-Down Proteomics! Had a very successful course over the past 3 years, and excited to offer it again this year. Don’t miss out – register early! Early registration ends April 30. www.asms.org/conferences/...

Some Zen for a lovely day. A very happy puppy frolics through a just blooming orchard.

Now I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see if Pete Hegseth sent military secrets to a THIRD group chat containing a mistress, a dermatologist, and his bodega guy.

I’m running a Skyline metabolomics “bite” as part of the UC Davis Bits and Bites series. It covers four tutorials and is a great way to immerse yourself into Skyline. 24th April, 9 am - 1 pm PT. $175. Covers QQQ, high res, cal curves, and CE optimisation. metabolomics.ucdavis.edu/bits-bites--03

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. BRING HIM HOME! Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador. SMART General President…

1 of 3. If you've never been into the @gravesco.bsky.social retail store in Indianapolis, let's go for a tour! #indianapolis #handmade #shopsmall

They might be exposed to science that hasn't been pre-approved by the administration

Time to throw up a bat signal for a specific skillset for @skypeascientist.bsky.social We have a classroom that is looking for a scientist who can do a session with them in ASL. Do we know any scientists who would be willing to do a Q&A with a deaf classroom in ASL?

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

I see a lot of you are worried about your stocks so I’m glad I invested all my money in the one asset that will NEVER decline in value: tulips

Hands off, Indianapolis, IN

For anyone on here that needs to see this:

I don't recall any voters (even MAGA) saying, "Research into medical advancements is a waste of money." These are not minor setbacks, it will set us YRS behind. Our lives/wellbeing are at stake, and for what in return? @altcdc.altgov.info @standupforscience.bsky.social @altnih4science.bsky.social

what replaces due process under fascism is the assurance of protection for favored groups. even though it’s precarious, a lot of people feel just as protected under that framework as they do under one with due process

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

So the guy leading RFK Jr.'s vaccine-autism study? A total quack who was previously charged for practicing medicine without a license for using chemical castration drugs on autistic children.

🚀 Thrilled to share our latest research! With the labs of Yansheng Liu and Junmin Peng we’ve built the largest in vivo protein turnover resource across multiple tissues and brain regions, now published in Cell @cellpress.bsky.social 🔬💡 #Proteomics Check it out! 👇 authors.elsevier.com/c/1koBJL7PXu...

We've been tracking unlawful NIH grant terminations for 3 weeks. Spread the word👇! Fellow PIs: what can you do upon termination? ✅ Email PO + document questions ✅ Submit FOIA ✅ Advocate to your OCG/OSP for appeal + litigation ✅ Consider outside litigation ✅ Donate to state AGs + legal orgs 1/🧵

12. Like art, music, philosophy, and literature, science is literally part of humanity's heritage. My colleagues and I have had the amazing opportunity to be part of something vastly larger than ourselves, with meaning that transcends any state, regime, or generation. They can't take that away.

Enjoying some time away in Bolivia!

This should alarm everyone

Congratulations @j-my-sci.bsky.social !

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

Join us! Science Homecoming helps scientists reconnect with communities by writing about the importance of science funding in their hometown newspapers. We’ve mapped every small newspaper in the U.S. and provide resources to get you started. Help science get back home 🧪🔬🧬 🏠 sciencehomecoming.com

The Trump administration is so on top of things that scientists EXTERNALLY FUNDED BY INDUSTRY WHO MAKE THE HHS MONEY are receiving termination letters. These fucking morons have no idea how the government even works. AT ALL

I'm reviewing applications for our Science IRL grant. The application pool is stupendous with a lot of fantastic & frankly weird ideas for how to connect people w/critical science info. I want to be able to fund more than we currently can. Wanna throw a few bucks at the pool? givebutter.com/29Ow9Y

Read ASM’s statement on the sweeping removal of federal health agency staff, which will be catastrophic for American science and technology. asm.org/Press-Releas...

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades. Envy of the world. Poof! www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...

SCOOP: DOGE has started gutting a key US technology agency. At least dozens of workers at the Technology Transformation Service were fired on Wednesday, a day after similar sudden cuts at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
