One of the reasons I enjoy morning walks in my Gainesville neighborhood. Moms, a dad, young ones and the piebald.

NIH wants to hear from you. No really. Request for Information on Maximizing Research Funds by Limiting Allowable Publishing Costs grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Also be sure to read the instructions a Forms I SF424. These Fs will have the new format/review instructions so there are different components from the previous NOFOs.

If you're struggling to visualise mouse NMJs, we've got a protocol just for you! bio-protocol.org/en/bpdetail?... Dissection and whole-mount immunofluorescent staining of mouse hind paw muscles for #NMJ analysis Lovely work from Rebecca Simkin @uclqsion.bsky.social @nicolbirsa.bsky.social‬

Its taken a few years but finally had science fun collaborating with @andyjudge24.bsky.social, @sarahjudge.bsky.social and the talented postdoc @jbducharme.bsky.social with support from Miguel Gutierrez-Monreal. Cancer and the muscle clock. 1/ www.cell.com/cell-reports...

“Given the very real consequences for our competitiveness, our standard of living and, yes, also our bottom lines, we all ought to be making the case for aggressively funding basic science.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/o...

I am happy to see 5 of the Regents of University of Michigan write this piece in support of university independence.

I’m looking for a new research assistant! Please share with recent (or soon to be) graduates! www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/41...

@dadapisconti.bsky.social presenting her work on neutrophil elastase in muscle regeneration. Great science presented along with good humor

Nice morning at La Chua trail with my muscle and clocks friends before the meeting starts. Jake Chen, Clara Peek and Mattia Q. Lots of gators out sunning themselves

Looking to conduct research in molecular biology and genetics? Come join the Kardon lab! Looking for lab tech to help research the role of stem cells in muscle development and regeneration and determine the effects of viral infection on muscle. Funding independent of federal resources. Please share!

Studying metabolism? Pay attention to time of day Nice collaborative review led by Satchin Panda www.nature.com/articles/s42...

It’s Gainesville muscle meeting week. Weather report. Sunny and 70s. A bit chilly in the mornings. Always a great week of science, seeing old friends and making new ones.

Each year, scientists, including the @utah.edu's own @gabriellekardon.bsky.social @uuhsresearch.bsky.social and Mike Shapiro @uofubiology.bsky.social, review Sundance films through a scientific lens, revealing fascinating insights. Published in @science.org -read on www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Yet another report on the economic value of NIH investments The indiscriminate and large cuts are illogical and harmful I am angry www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Always fun to work with @bethaschroder.bsky.social and @bpdelisle.bsky.social But honestly, should I really care about ion channels? 😂

Beautiful day for the Spings Run in Gainesville. Hard to beat February in Florida! Many in the lab running. Stay tuned

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

In Lexington and snowed (+iced) in. A large group of floofy robins are hanging out on our tree out back. I had a bit of a stare down with this one.

I hope everyone had a terrific holiday! Happy New Year! 🎉 A friendly reminder all ASMB abstracts for poster presentation are due February 19th (with a paid registration). We are at ~50% capacity so register soon to save your spot! #myoblue myology.institute.ufl.edu/conferences/...

I’ve been a bit slow on re-posting but @mattmuscleguy.bsky.social does a great job for the #myo-name-your-platform community. Thanks for keeping the top 10 papers of the year. This one is one of my favorites too.

Really excited to get started on this collaboration on dystrophin (and mutations) in the SCN

Ok @mikefeigin.bsky.social I am taking the Detroit Lions this afternoon!

Abstract deadline to be considered for an oral presentation at the 2025 Advances in Skeletal Muscle Biology Conference is tomorrow (Dec 15) ⏱️✍️ @myoblue.bsky.social

New paper from Spencer Procopio and Xiping Zhang and other colleagues. While looking at sex specificity in mouse heart circadian transcriptome we found that Bmal1 is a key upstream TF in cardiomyocytes for non-circadian sex differences as well academic.oup.com/function/adv...

Happy Thanksgiving- hanging in Kentucky with family. And local “friends” Looking forward to lots of good science on this space

Enjoying a visit to Savannah for the SfRBM meeting. Looking forward to learning lots
