Just submitted my comments. If you haven't done this yet, you've still got time and it doesn't take long. You'll be glad you did. Comment period will close at midnight: www.regulations.gov/document/OMB...

Just a reminder that there's only about a week left to leave comments on the OMB proposal that will cripple federally funded research. Here's my attempt to convince you that you should, along with info on how to do so effectively.

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 7 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/2sCF2

You may have heard about the OMB rule change that will put politics over federal grants. However bad you think it is? It's probably worse. Thanks to @theverge.com for letting me report this one out. There is still time to comment. bit.ly/4v2X4nQ

Our analysis found that the White House's proposed OMB regulations would threaten nearly 5,000 clinical trials. This includes more than 1,000 cancer treatment studies. Join the fight by taking action against the OMB grant funding proposal at the link in our bio! #standupforscience #vought #omb

Thousands of biomedical studies are stuck in limbo as NIH drags out renewals months after annual budgets expire. Since 2025, the rate of overdue renewals has TRIPLED. This leaves scientists unable to plan, keep staff employed, or maintain long-term research. grant-witness.us/posts/2026-0... #NIH 🧪

Two of the most important biomedical breakthroughs came from science of the Gila lizard venom (GLP-1s) and yogurt (CRISPR genome editing). "The system that turned that lizard into a medicine is now being dismantled." gift link nytimes.com/2026/06/20/o...

At $4.8 billion the budget request for federally funded science for our entire country comes out equivalent to just 5 days-worth of funding for a pointless and brutal war.

We’re hiring a lab manager! Looking for someone organized, detail-oriented, and highly motivated to help keep research running smoothly and support a collaborative team. Please share! searchjobs.dartmouth.edu/postings/851...

Every time I hear men talk about destroying this planet so they can travel to a dead one, I think about how miraculous the existence of Earth is, and how capitalists should never be permitted to make decisions about space exploration.

Wow, this is frightening: 95,000 scientists and researchers, gone. Brilliant minds no longer working to protect, help, and save people and the planet. Don't take this sitting down.

March is colon cancer awareness month. The American Cancer Society predicts more than 55,000 people will die from it this year. About 20 percent of colon cancer patients are under the age of 55.

Strawberry guava is one of the top 100 most problematic invasive species worldwide. In the biodiversity hotspot of Madagascar we observed that it can arrest native forest succession causing long term ecological harm. But it also feeds endangered lemurs creating a challenging conservation problem.

My buddy and bat scientist @arummel.bsky.social is studying how bat wings move in flight. Scientists often look at the 2d shapes of bat wings but her work shows it’s critical to consider the 3d shape while in flight. #SICB2026

Every year around Thanksgiving, I see tons of grad students post heartbreaking messages on social media about how their loved ones don’t understand or support their decision to study what seems like something pointless or silly. Perhaps my American Scientist essay can help! 🧪🌎🦑 #SciComm
