What a wonderful Cretan ISEEC Conference that was! Four days bouncing around ideas about evolution, ecology, cancer, translational tech, the future of AI, and much more. See you again in two years!

Julie Dragon announces a fourth type of transmissible cancer at ISEEC 2026! Brown bullhead transmissible melanoma. Two lineages so far identified in the northeast US. Seems to be more widespread and >100 years old. Paper under review.

Our next guest scientist is Dr. Julie Dragon 🐉 of @uvmlarnermed.bsky.social where "her work centers on the use of large genomics data sets to address evolutionary, environmental, and biomedical questions." We're excited to learn how. #WomenInSTEM #scicomm #2Scientists #Genomics #bioinformatics

ISEEC keynote speaker Viktor Müller discusses his research on the threats of evolvsble AI and lessons from evolution in cancer

Sadly I don't think neither Andriy nor Jill nor Chandler are here on bluesky

Some great talks today on the first full day of #iseec2026 #CancerEvolution, many of them from my Moffitt colleagues talking about cancer ecology and evolution during treatment

Great to have @srishtipatil.bsky.social presenting her new research on early-onset tumours, here at ISEEC 2026. Tomorrow I'll be talking about her previous work with me

Science nerds of BSKY: Next week I’m interviewing Prof. Sir John Bell about recent medical breakthroughs, touching on - Gene therapies & cancer vaccines - Tech in healthcare more broadly - Ethics & regulation This includes a Q&A where I can field your questions. If you have any please post below 🙏

MIT announces “the number of grad students will be 20 percent less than it was in 2024 — about 500 fewer students” www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Making humans responsible for their AI use seems like an incredibly reasonable way to address problems & opportunities in the use of AI for academic research, at least in the short term (autonomous scientific work will require different solutions).

We're excited to have our Tampa chapter start back up after a 6 year hiatus! Join our team for an evening of the science of game theory, and a science board game or two... tasteofscience.org/tampabay-eve... #TasteOfScience #scicomm #ScienceFestival #TampaBay

Superb as ever from @dereklowe.bsky.social www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/the-...

Some shots from #moffittscientificsymposium 2026 including our CEO Dr. Patrick Hwu and posters from Julia Pelesko and Matt Froid. It was a good day

The programme for this month's ISEEC Conference is now live! www.evocancer.com Four days featuring 28 talks on all aspects of cancer ecology and evolution, panel discussions, flash talks, a workshop, and excursions. Last chance to register and submit a late breaking flash talk by May 10th

For those of us in Tampa. #TasteOfScience is back in the city and the first event is no other than my Moffitt Cancer Center and @math.onco#tasteofsciencecolleague Joel Brown […]

Feels like big tech companies could just offer to subsidize solar panels for people where they want to build data centers, nothing more convincing than getting a bill like this

I am very excited that our work on the evolution of clonal hematopoiesis throughout human life is now available (unedited version) online in Cancer Discovery @aacrjournals.bsky.social. Huge congratulations to @nvmp.bsky.social and @francescoterenzi.bsky.social! aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscov...

This year we are excited to welcome back our Memphis chapter of taste of science. They'll be keeping it spicy with their Cinco de Science! Join them for an evening of Black bears, and bugs lives, and beer tours, Oh My! tasteofscience.org/memphis-even... #TasteOfScience #ScienceFestival #Scicomm

Deep dive into the crisis in NIH grant making @aniloza.bsky.social. You know what increases administrative burden on researchers? Policy changes that turn highly reviewed proposals into coin flips, pushing labs and projects to edge of viability.

I find it fascinating that folks like Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson are having 'Abundance' discussions about NIH while ignoring the pre-2025 state of play, self-critique of scientists, and the many ways in which American science is imperfect and yet (near) the best in the world (or was). 🧵

For this episode of #BiologyInNumbers, I had the pleasure of speaking with Daniel Cruz about research, his role as chair of @smbmathbiology.bsky.social's Community, Inclusion, & Engagement Committee, and as a teacher. I really enjoyed listening to his perspective on why we should want to learn math.

The Trump administration actively dismantling American leadership in science, a nihilistic legacy that will stretch for years as long as political ideology supplants evidence as the basis for policy making, oversight, and funding. 🎁 wapo.st/3P3DSY2

Spending on new medical research by the National Institutes of Health has fallen roughly $1 billion behind the pace of years past, delaying thousands of scientific projects. Story by Ben Mueller & @irenatfh.bsky.social Gift link: nyti.ms/4ctOSqM

Gary An is the first physician-scientist we featured on @smbmathbiology.bsky.social #BiologyInNumbers. It was interesting to learn why he was doing research let alone in #MathBio. But he had some pretty good reasons for rationalizing why. Find links to the full episode here: smb.org/news/13614506

Too many people seem to accept the argument that while it is terrible for other countries to kill civilians in war, when their own country does it, it can be justified. Explains much of the strategic and ethical disaster we are facing.

Including cancer research for kids. Total dirt bags.

The White House FY27 budget proposal is a clear indication that it seeks to diminish American leadership in science. As one telling example, the budget would drastically reduce the # of people involved in National Science Foundation activities by more than 200,000 (!!).

Share as widely as possible. www.simonsfoundation.org/grant/center...

#nokings #rally today in the small town of Temple Terrace just north of Tampa

A 20% budget cut atop multiyear funding-induced cuts to research and direct terminations of projects underway will further degrade American leadership in science. This is early news & not even a proposal or appropriations - precisely the reason to speak out now. rollcall.com/2026/03/27/s...
