Trump's proposed FY26 budget cuts will decimate our universities with devastating consequences for cities like Pittsburgh.

The Trump administration’s freezing in April of $790 million in federal research funding for Northwestern University has left concerned lab directors without key grant money from the National Institutes of Health.

I've been worrying about this since their website dropped offline. Losing the NRRL folks and their microbial strain collection would be a real blow.

Today's #standupforscience rally in Pittsburgh - it was great seeing so many people turn out. #standupforscience2025

Hoping to see other Pittsburgh folks standing up for science in Schenley Plaza tomorrow! (It'll sure beat spending lunch doomscrolling like the last month...)

Can finally confirm: #ABRCMS in person definitely beats the online early-pandemic versions. I didn't have to travel and I'm still wiped out by so many hours of posters... but there was so much exciting science and so many talented undergrad and postbac researchers! Highly recommended. #ABRCMS2024

If you're interested in microbial chemical biology and looking for a research technician position, the Kenney Lab at Pitt is hiring. You'd be working with weird new (metallo)enzymes, weird microbes, and weird new natural products. Fill out an application here: cfopitt.taleo.net/careersectio...
