AIMBE has launched our new Citizen Advocate for Science Letter: takeaction.io/aimbe/scienc... We ask the broader scientific community to widely share this letter (✍️ <1 minute) with friends, family, and other concerned citizens to urge their elected officials to protect biomedical research funding 👇

This morning’s session on “Novel Biomaterial Developments in Non-Viral Drug Delivery Systems” at #SFB2025 was a success 😎. Extremely talented speakers, stimulating talks, and insightful discussions. It was an honor to organize and co-chair this session with Qiaobing Xu.

Had a great time visiting #UCSDBE! Beautiful campus and amazing people doing impactful science. 😎 Special thanks to @brianaguado.bsky.social, for inviting and hosting me! Check out the view from his office 😯

Accepting a graduate student in lab is a long term financial commitment, which is nearly impossible to make at this point. Also watch out for overall hiring slow-downs at all levels in science: you don't need a freezing hire for this to happen, it will start to take place organically - already has.

“…we will be on the right side of history through our collective efforts.” -Brian Aguado

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Feeling grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such talented scientists and amazing human beings. Currently, women make up 75% of our PIs and 60% of our trainees. #WomenAndGirlsInScience #WomenAndGirlsInScienceDay

AIMBE has developed a new advocacy letter on the changes to NIH indirect cost rates: aimbe.org/advocate/wri... We urge the broader biomedical research community to customize this letter (<1 minute) to contact your congressional representatives about the severe consequences of this new policy 👇

AIMBE's Annual Event on March 29-31, 2025 is especially important. With a new Congress and presidential administration, it's a timely opportunity to engage in science policy post-election. Fellows, register now and we will arrange your congressional visits for you: annualevent.aimbe.org #AIMBE2025

I curated a list of really smart scientists (and me) of Latin American and/or Hispanic background to follow… Still trying to figure out Bsky, so I apologize if there’s already one going around. Please help spread the word, and let me know if you’d like to be added. go.bsky.app/ReQgt2H

Made a few updates to the title and description to reach a broader audience… Same awesome people (plus me)! Let me know if you’d like to be added 😎 go.bsky.app/ReQgt2H

CRISPR technology can help solve humanity's greatest challenges and build a better future. Follow @doudna-lab.bsky.social and @innovativegenomics.bsky.social for our insights, breakthroughs, and stories from the frontiers of gene editing. - JD

In #Singapore for the week with @nhc-nanomedlab.bsky.social to give a couple of talks at #ICBME2024. Many thanks to Andy Tay for the invitation! And looking forward to catching up with Dean Ho (Department head) tomorrow…. #Singapore is pretty cool 😎

Certainly my lab is not perfectly run, but perhaps my tips for management of an academic lab can help you! What are your tips? Of course its music themed because consistency is my first tip! Grants: x.com/AinslieLab/s... Pre-interviews: x.com/AinslieLab/s... Well-being: x.com/AinslieLab/s...

Hi 🦋! I’m Eunji Chung, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at USC. My lab develops nanotherapeutics and gene therapy for kidney and cardiovascular diseases. I’m a mom, cofounder, and a believer of hard work. I also love everything Disney and a sense of adventure.

The first HUB annual meeting will be the day before the SFB meeting, April 7-8 2025 in Chicago, IL. The educational and community outreach team is led by myself, @brianaguado.bsky.social and Elizabeth Cosgriff-Hernandez, and we have funds available to support PI-trainee pairs to attend HUB and SFB.

Travel Award Announcement! @lolaumich.bsky.social and @kellystevens.bsky.social have won an NIH center grant, Humanity Unlocking Biomaterials (the HUB): www.humanityunlockingbiomaterials.org
