"Talent is universal, access must be designed, and excellence must be intentional!" Inspiration talk by Donita Brady at #ASBMB2026. Donita has worked tirelessly to bring access to Penn and beyond. Congrats on winning the Ruth Kirschtein Award!

I’m watching predator badlands for the third time this week. Love the survival, combat, tech, synths, family and love shown in this movie! youtu.be/43R9l7EkJwE

The data drops as Sen. Bernie Sanders calls for a moratorium on datacenter construction. 'We need to take a deep breath. We need to make sure that AI and robotics work for all of us, not just a handful of billionaires.'

The purpose of play Is to told up the mirror to Nature. Never forget that. That’s our job. The world around us. And ourselves within it. The real work…. is living

My weekly NIH update... The fiscal year 2026 curve still lies below the other curves but appears to be increasing at close to the normal pace. 1/4

A heads down approach will not save science. We need to speak up, live our values, and demand integrity. www.statnews.com/2026/03/12/n...

And they tell you they don’t have money for science, or kids, or healthcare, or childcare or food assistance or ALL THE THINGS!

Posting a photo of Rod Carew every day until the federal government drops its war on Minneapolis (and St Paul). #Twins #Minnesota

The sea cries

If you’re wondering why I’m ranting today about what scientific freedom is and is not, here is why. Jay Bhattacharya is a fool who cannot stand that he was—and continues to be—called out by legitimate scientists for his bullshit.

Mn is still bad. Mainstream media lies. If you can sponsor a families rent in MN please help. It’s is very bad there. I just spoke with someone in Mn and they are ALL still very scared. Here is a generic Mn aid fund www.standwithminnesota.com

If the Senate and House can’t regulate the President then why are we paying them 🤷‍♀️. They have no power. This is theatrics. This is staged theatre. I’m over it. @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov

Congress approved budget increases to the #NIH. But we are not out of the woods. NIH has delayed posting announcements for funding opportunities for so long that academic research programs may not have their existing funding renewed. Many programs are already in limbo. 🧪 bit.ly/4rNEa3D

Don’t allow anybody to make you feel that you are nobody!

On International Women's Day, we demand: ✅ Workplace equality ✅ An end to gender-based violence ✅ Educational equity ✅ Reproductive autonomy ✅ Protections for immigrant families ✅ Trans liberation ✅ An end to over-policing of women of color ✅ Protection of access to housing And so much more.

NIH HR deleted our CBA off the website. Luckily for us, even if the agency says there is no CBA in ba sing se, the union still exists.

Having a blast at GRC!

🤦‍♀️😭

Hey, I’ve got a childhood epilepsy R01 I’m writing - it’s mechanistic, focusing on calcium and cytoskeleton. Waaaaay out of my wheelhouse, and I’d love to get expert’s input for my specific aims - any takers to have a quick look at my page and just absolutely wreck it?

Super excited to be on my way to present our work at @ www.grc.org/dna-damage-m...

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers. The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

When I saw the news story about the girls school being bombed, one of my first thoughts was about how unlike American physics, Iranian physics is 50% women at the undergrad level and how some of those girls who had been murdered were going to be physicists one day

🤦‍♀️

I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.

I’m helping to organize this! Please come! We’ve got a great lineup of speakers to inspire you!

The budget for NIH & NSF last year was 50B. The budget for the DOW was 850B. What a great place to start asking questions! @cdelawalla.bsky.social @dereklowe.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov

The budget for NIH & NSF last year was 50B. The budget for the DOW was 850B. It’s a great place to start asking questions.

We submitted @stevenyou.bsky.social first author paper this week for peer review and celebrated with cake and Tyedye!

I’m out. 33 minutes in was enough torture for the night.

What if it happened…tonight.

no one’s attacking us because this government is already doing a better job of destroying the country than our adversaries could ever hope

Deep, well sourced, moving, and enraging story from the NYT [Gift Link] www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/o...

Reminder that I will be speaking this Wednesday about my postdoc work. You have been warned. 🧪

The 2026 budget directive tells NASA to protect the Goddard Space Library, not following the directive is illegal. Visit the link in our bio or search tr.ee/save-nasa to contact your rep. and urge that they make NASA follow the budget directive. #NASA #savenasa #space #science

This is a reminder that ICE is still in Minnesota, that people still can’t leave their homes, and that funds are starting to run dry. Please donate if you can. Places like food shelves are struggling to meet the community’s needs.

This is horrifying. 10 Billion for NSF 500 Billion for BS

Even the smallest person can change the fate of the future

They haven’t left. It’s all a lie.

This is a human experiment. And it is disgusting.
