Feels surreal to say but: I'm hiring! If you are or know anyone interested in looking at the evolution of phage resistance using A. baumannii and natural transformation, then this might be for you www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

MGI associate professor Jonathan Hardy and recent MSU human biology graduate Djeneba Diallo went out to Eisenhower Elementary in Flint, MI to introduce sixth-graders to the world of microbiology! Read more here: tinyurl.com/mr3ab7zu

Very exciting. College juniors and recent grads: note the approaching deadline for the 1st round, July 31.

An update from the team on the uncertain future of our program and the impact of NSF budget cuts. Please share and reach out 🦠

I got the opportunity to speak with Science about my individual research fellowship being terminated. I was awarded the NSF GRFP before I chose Harvard for graduate school, but I still got cut. I study how we can improve treatments for a common antibiotic resistant bacteria, so this is sad to see

"Working Together to End TB." Our department's research saves lives, and we're proud to see IID's tuberculosis researchers highlighted alongside other incredible Harvard Chan School scientists! Check out the video to learn more about their impactful work (in 7 words)!

I’m hoping that there will be some rapid action to get legal support to the PhD students who have had their NSF GRFP (fellowships) terminated in the Trump regime’s latest attacks on academia.

New preprint. After years of increases, gonorrhea diagnosis rates dropped in the US in 2022 and 2023. While the news is promising, understanding WHY is key to sustaining progress. dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/427...

These are grant TO THE STUDENTS, not to the institution, so this is just straight-up punishing students for choosing the institution

can confirm

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

Harvard Chan scientists participate in a rigorous application process for federal grants to conduct their vital health research. The government has now terminated nearly every single one of those grants.

There is still time to apply for #PhD studentships with us! Thanks for spreading the word. #phdchat #phdlife #academiclife

New vacancy in my team! PhD student position on microbial genome evolution, focusing on the evolutionary principles underlying bacterial genome architecture. Please repost and share with talented MSc students in #evobio, bioinformatics or related :) www.uu.nl/en/organisat... #MEvoSky #MicroSky

All 4 of my NIH research grants are terminated. These were grants on MDR-TB treatment & strategies for supporting adolescents living w/ HIV. This is a massive waste of resources. I am heartbroken for my Harvard team, my partners in Peru, the next generation of scientists & our country. Shame.

All NIH and NSF grants for my entire team--and for all of Harvard, I guess?--have been terminated. As provocative as that sounds, the practical effect is probably not much. Everything was already frozen. 🤷‍♂️ On the upside, it makes tracking terminated grants easier. No more guesswork at Harvard!

Are you a postdoc/grad student preparing to launch a faculty search? Do you have a track record of excellence in research, leadership, mentorship & community engagement? Apply to the 2025 Next Generation Faculty Symposium: www.berkeleystanfordnextgensymposium.com! Pls repost! (1/3)

Hey y'all! My department is conducting a search for an assistant or associate professor in bacteriology. It's pretty broadly defined. If you know anyone who's looking for a great department that does awesome science - please send them our way! You can DM me with any questions you have 😀

Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.

A top scientist at Harvard who has spent years unraveling the mysteries of tuberculosis woke up Tuesday morning and discovered an order from the federal government telling her to halt her research. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/15/m...

To put it simply, research saves lives. Here's how scientists at @hsph.harvard.edu are improving #publichealth here in the US and all over the world with research powered by federal funding. hsph.harvard.edu/news/high-im...

We are crowd sourcing reductions in graduate admissions and hiring freezes across biomedical research and higher ed in response to pauses in NIH funding and EO’s. If you have information if you could add to this spreadsheet, it would be greatly appreciated!: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)
