We're hiring! 🧬 Two positions open in the Parker Lab @umich: 🔬 Postdoc: single-cell multi-omics & statistical genetics 🧪 Lab Specialist: molecular biology & Seahorse assays Great team, supportive culture, exciting science on metabolic disease.

1. Federal funding for research promotes tech, biomedical, and scientific discovery in the US, and provides training for the sci/tech workforce that has brought immeasurable wealth to the US over the past 75 years. Today's executive order includes a provision that will obliterate both functions.

Great news: DEADLINE EXTENDED. The submission deadline for our new pilot funding opportunity has been extended. This funding aims to advance data-driven pancreas and type 1 diabetes research, focusing on AI, LLMs, and RAG. Check out the details on our funding page: pankbase.org/funding.html

Welcome to Chicago! If you're at the 85th Scientific Sessions of the #ADA, stop by the PanKbase booth 1047 in the exhibit hall to learn about the our updated single cell browser, ask questions, or give us feedback. youtu.be/sNEGvSIjh3M?...

PanKbase #ADA spotlight: PanKbase PI, Dr. Jie Liu, Associate Professor of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics Michigan Medical School will be presenting during the session "Decoding Diabetes—AI-Driven Advances in Genetic Research". June 23rd 3:15 PM - 4:15 PM. Look forward to seeing you there!

Steve Parker, professor of Computational Medicine, writes to NC ⛰️: “The stunning landscapes & kind-hearted people make this place magical” but a looming threat to federal science funding could undermine both their health & economy. 🧪🏠 @theparkerlab.bsky.social www.reflector.com/opinion/edit...

Biomedical research is an American success story. Alabama native 🏴‍☠️ & NIH-funded researcher Will King warns that science cuts threaten American breakthroughs that save lives—advances that have come so far since his grandmother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. www.timesdaily.com/opinion/comm...

I’m a biomedical researcher who lost his wife to cancer. Finding cures is personal to me. What’s happening at the NIH is devastating. Here’s my editorial in my hometown newspaper. www.vindy.com/opinion/edit...

Eric Green is out as head of National Human Genome Research Institute www.statnews.com/2025/03/17/t... #genomics #NIH #NHGRI

NIH Reporter data through this morning (grants funded up to March 8th) First, new and competitive renewal grants... 2/n

On RePORTER earlier today, I identified >3k active grants responsive to the list of >70 unpublished NOFOs. This is a broad list (includes grants whose end date is this year), but this means there are potentially thousands on the chopping block per the “tiers” reported last week.

🧪 The NSF director is lying to you. Let’s fact check 7 claims from yesterday’s letter to the community, while pointing out 3 critical omissions. 🧵

Listen to every word.

I keep saying this and I keep violating it and I keep reminding myself. If you are pointing your gun at other academic scientists instead of at the rising fascist regime, this is not helping.

I’m a professor at University of Michigan with roots in North Carolina, so I wrote about importance of NIH funding to health and economy of the state. Hope you’ll read and decide to stand with me in standing up for science. Thanks Daily Reflector for publishing: www.reflector.com/opinion/edit...

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs. It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎

I actually think the dems should attend the SOTU, wait till the 2nd sentence, and then walk out en masse, that'll do it, there'll be no address, he'll just have a meltdown on national Tv

I talked to NIH officials, current and former, about what's been happening inside the agency since the Trump administration shut down their grantmaking pipeline in January. Their stories showed just how willing our new leaders are to break the law: www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
