Apparently not

Biological Chemistry's position is still taking applications. UM is a great place to be a PI, I'd love to see a new membrane biology or lipids expert join our community. This is open for new and established investigators.

BREAKING: SANDWICH GUY ACQUITTED. NOT GUILTY!

The q.e.d feedback that you get when you run your paper via @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social is not posted there, it's private and for your eyes only. In the future we want to create a report that you'll be able to attach to your preprint like a cover letter (it's all opt in of course)

This is my son’s soccer teammate. This is heartbreaking to watch, no kid should go through this. I know his parents, they are good people. No family should endure this. The cruelty and evil actions of the trump administration and ICE are tearing families and communities apart.

In this splendid photo from Valerio Minato three wonders were captured in a single shot: - the Basilica of Superga, located near Turin (Italy) - the Monviso, the highest mountain of the Cottian Alps - the setting Moon, captured in a crescent phase ➡️ apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap23122... 🔭 🧪 #sciart 1/2

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

The existence of tactical Italian sandwiches implies the existence of intercontinental ballistic Italian sandwiches.

Also: <shocker> It's a lie

Imagine showing your face after this

Protip for NIH reviewers.

There would have been breathless hysteria if Biden said something like this. W.T.F.

This is so damned cool

Faculty openings at UMN with some fantastic folks/scientists!

Really enjoyed the Shaomeng Wang and Ju-Yun Li Lecture in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Michigan from Lotte Bjerre Knudsen, Lasker award winner and pioneer of GLP-1 agonists. Great insight into fearlessness and persistence in drug discovery.

Obvious to say this, but the actual function of the smear job isn't to make us ask about his aunt, it's to show us the words "hijab" and "9/11" in a headline with his photo.

In 1992, my midwestern family (naively) hunkered down here as one of the strongest hurricanes on record to make landfall hit S. Florida. I cannot fathom what is about to happen to the people of Jamaica. God be with them.

Holy shit, the scale of destruction is unimaginable!

Two tenure-track faculty positions open in our department: 1) Microbial Ecology and Evolution careers.rpi.edu/en-us/job/49... 2) Cellular Neuroscience careers.rpi.edu/en-us/job/49... Join our collaborative, interdisciplinary community, which has proved to be a fantastic place to start a lab!

We started a Gofundme campaign to support Duane and his family during his recovery. Many thanks for any support you can provide. gofund.me/ec2395ec4

We had a cardiac emergency at the rink tonight. Players, staff, and fans rushed to aid the player and the nearby fire station responded within two minutes and were able to resuscitate the player. I'm so thankful for everyone who responded and for the staff of the city of Ann Arbor!

You don't win friends with salad

My department at Emory is a hiring a tenure-track neuroscientist! Anyone who's talked to me in the last 4 years knows I cannot say enough good things about my dept and the neuroscience community here. My colleagues are so wonderfully supportive. Postdocs, please apply! apply.interfolio.com/174371

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

Don't miss the EmoTe Lab/Prechter Program presentations at #SRP2025 this year!

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

Really exciting new paper from collaborator extraordinaire @neurobender.bsky.social on CRISPRa-mediated rescue of Scn2a loss-of-function. Happy to contribute a tiny bit to this behemoth of a story. Congrats, Kevin, Nadav, and everyone else!

Our new preprint is up! This is the main postdoc work of @wiesner-t.bsky.social focusing on exocytosis along the axon shaft and its regulation by the sub membrane actin-spectrin scaffold: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Read the thread below for a summary of our findings 🧵1/11

🚨 Big news for the #SCN2A community 🚨 Landmark UCSF study shows CRISPR activation can restore SCN2A function — even later in development. A real step forward, and real hope, for families living with SCN2A-related disorders. www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

A huge shoutout to all the dedicated grants management specialists at the NIH who are working around the clock to push grants out before the Sep 30 deadline. And also to the POs responding to frantic emails. Not an easy job under the best of circumstances and right now it's the pits. Thank you!

Things must be pretty dire with grant reviews at NIH. Got THREE! requests for me to sit on study section last week. Agreed to one (even though I'm working on a revision for that same time). Hoping that puts some good science karma in the grant-osphere.

Reading today’s big NYT Magazine story made me physically sick It details how Trump & the men he put in charge of federal research—men like Jay Bhattacharya & RFK Jr—are dismantling cancer research Not just the US vaccine system—they’re crushing cancer R&D 🎁Link www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

Glad to see we’ve finally reached the “accurately observing the words used by a prominent fascist intellectual is the *real* fascism” stage of legacy media finger-wagging fascist accommodation. Great stuff!
