This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

If you're an early career scientist, particularly in the US, how are you handling the chaos?

One of the reasons I went into science was to be able to collaborate with brilliant people around the world. Watching 80 years of international relations disintegrate in real time is hard to process

Is relocation assistance common for international post docs? #academia #postdoc

Can we agree to move scientific meetings to places that didn't vote to dismantle our scientific institutions?

For those that went into scientific publishing after your PhD, what are some things you wish you knew?

ATTENTION (PLEASE SHARE) If anyone has or knows of any positions that might be appropriate for the NIH staff members who were terminated, please post the information in this thread. There are lots of talented and accomplished people who may be looking for new opportunities.

Eager to hear my Rep, @degette.house.gov , and @bennet.senate.gov, respond to these seismic cuts. This isn't cost cutting or trimming fat, it's destroying the foundation of research and medical infrastructure in this country. Heartened to see @murray.senate.gov's response.

It'd be fascinating to make the jump to a completely new field. No idea where to start though

NOTE: We are awaiting a ruling from the federal judge in Washington, in @democracyforward.bsky.social's lawsuit challenging Trump's funding freeze. We expect the court will issue its decision before 5pm today. Follow @democracydocket.com for breaking news. www.democracydocket.com

Terrific piece summarizing a recent report: Every dollar of NIH research funding doubles in economic returns www.fiercebiotech.com/research/rep...

Did anyone else feel torn about what direction they wanted to take their career after their PhD?

Paging all sarcoma researchers

NIH research funding supported 412,000 jobs in 2023 & doubled economic returns www.fiercebiotech.com/research/rep... #NIH #research #funding

Reposting this now I have a few more followers! jobrxiv.org/job/weill-co... The Pearson lab is looking for an enthusiastic post doc with experience in #mousemodels, #humancellculture, #organoid, #confocalmicroscopy and #transcriptomics. Experience in #metabolism an extra bonus!

Started my Ph.D in August of 2016 only to watch science and medicine be under attack for 4 years. Now, we have the displeasure of experiencing it a second time, and the job market was already an abysmal nightmare

Where's my #biology community at?

Finally made it over to blue sky
