The US Supreme Court has derailed researchers’ efforts to reinstate almost $2 billion in grants issued by the NIH. The court’s decision represents a remarkable reversal, allowing the Trump team to proceed with its science cuts. go.nature.com/3JsraiA

This study led by Sasha’s group @nyumedpostdocs.bsky.social reveals the mechanisms of de-capping Np4N, a noncanonical initiating nucleotide for RNAP. It binds substrates in two orientations, so target-mimic drugs might fail if one still works! Glad we contributed to this work! Congs to team!

Now on bioRxiv! Astrocytes in one brain region (cyan) communicate in expansive networks (magenta). Through tool development, tissue clearing, and many hours on our @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Z1, we now know these networks are repeatable across mice, plastic, and specific. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Whether you're a grad student or a seasoned postdoc, it's never too early—or too late—to start thinking about your next steps! What Can You Be With a PhD? is back in person in NYC on October 25–26, 2025. Registration opens August 4! lnkd.in/emZUTBFJ #WhatCanYouBeWithAPhD #PhDCareers #STEMcareers

Misinformation is winning not because it's true, but because it’s loud, emotional, and everywhere. It’s time for science to fight back. Aaron Mertz and I dissect the issue and offer solutions 👇 📖 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social @aspeninstitute.bsky.social

✨😀Congratulations to postdocs Eyal Rozenfeld and Francesco Limone on being named 2025 Leon Levy Scholars by The New York Academy of Sciences! @sciencelemon92.bsky.social @eyalrozenfeld.bsky.social @moccalin.bsky.social @liddelowsa.bsky.social www.nyas.org/press-releas...

As I make a living giving presentations, it might surprise you to know that I had a fear of public speaking. During #gradschool and #postdoc years I gave presentations. I also♥️ #scicomm and participated in many events for my institutions, the MRC and @awisnational.bsky.social. youtu.be/U5k_IB4o4-4

Evidence shows that science and scientists remain highly trusted. But genuine scientific voices are not shouting loud enough over the noise to hold sway https://go.nature.com/4cup7oG

Fresh off the press! We found that degeneration in one retina causes astrocytes to respond retinotopically across *both* hemispheres of the brain. Perhaps astrocytes across the CNS are able to coordinate their responses more than we anticipated... www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Join us this Friday at MSK for the next NYC Postdoc Night Science meeting! 🗽💫🧪🔬🧬
