The President’s FY26 Budget cuts NIH funding by nearly 40%, This would halt critical hematology research progress. ASH urges Congress to reject these cuts and support sustained medical research funding. Read the full statement: https://bit.ly/45QcvXk #Fight4Hematology

Stand up with ASH and #Fight4Hematology! 🩸💪 As executive orders threaten hematologic research and care of patients, ASH has created a new #Fight4Hematology Action Hub to keep you informed and involved.

Last chance to get your abstracts in for the FASEB Hematologic Malignancies Meeting!! All abstracts must be in by June 15. We’ve had an amazing turnout so far, and Sergei and I can’t wait to see you all in Southbridge! events.faseb.org/event/Hemato...

Reminder to get your abstracts in for the FASEB Hematologic Malignancies Meeting by June 1st!!! The scientific program is awesome this year and we will have lots of career dev and networking activities!

For 30 years, #HEMSRC has brought together researchers to share their important research. Join organizers @juliamaxson.bsky.social and Sergei Doulatov alongside keynotes @trowbridgelab.bsky.social and George Vassiliou to network, learn, and find new therapies. Save your space: buff.ly/2QuHlti

One week left to apply for travel awards for the FASEB Hematologic Malignancies Meeting!!! This is a fantastic meeting for trainees!

We hope you can join us this summer for the FASEB heme malignancies meeting!!!! We have a fabulous speaker lineup and lots of career development an networking opportunities! events.faseb.org/event/Hemato...

Hi science friends! Does anyone have a sense for how low to go on the tamoxifen dosing to induce HSC-SCL-ERT cre at a subclonal level (say 10% recombination or less). Thank you!

Registration and abstract submission is open for the FASEB hematologic malignancies meeting! And we are very excited to announce travel awards covering the registration cost for trainees working in North America! We hope you can join us! Apply here: app.smartsheet.com/b/form/7422e...

A new paper from @luciedarmusey.bsky.social out this week in Blood Advances! Dr. Darmusey investigated how mutations in ASXL1--often associated with dysplasia--also drive myeloproliferative neoplasms, which are characterized by overproduction of mature cells. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Today on #RareDiseaseDay, ASH shines a light on the millions affected by rare diseases worldwide. While each condition may be rare, together they impact 300M+ people globally. 🧵 👇 #HemeSky #Hematology #BloodSky 1/4

Jon made seminal findings in the kinase field over his career. He adopted me into his lab as my K99 co-mentor, providing key expertise, mentorship, and sharing his lab’s resources. He had endless love for the science —even as department chair he still made time to clone!

By @katherinejwu.com "The NIH... supported 99 percent of the drugs approved in the U.S. from 2010 to 2019. The agency has had a hand in “nearly all of our major medical breakthroughs over the past several decades,” The NIH is in a struggle for its (and our) lives. This is existential to America:

Thanks to the generous support of the EHA we have two travel awards for early career researchers working in Europe to attend the 2025 FASEB Hematologic Malignancies Meeting!!! Please share! (Link in comments)

Lifting this freeze is crucial:

The 'Stand Up For Science" rally is happening around the US on March 7th, spearheaded by graduate students! I have encouraged my lab to attend! Find your city's rally on the website below. The Philadelphia rally is at City Hall March 7th, 12pm to 4pm standupforscience2025.org/philadelphia...

Join me in standing up for science on March 7. in Salem, Oregon! Tell your friends and bring them too!! This is a nation wide event, with every state having at least one gathering. We need to show up strong!!! standupforscience2025.org

📢 Support federal research funding! As the new Administration acts & Congress finalizes FY25 funding, lawmakers need to hear from you. Share your stories of how funding & policies impact #hematology patients & research. Take action! bit.ly/4b2bj43 #Fight4Hematology #HemeSky #BloodSky

Kudos to our professional societies for advocating for continued funding for lifesaving research through the NIH. There is a link at the end of the statement to contact your representatives!! 👇

I feel like we could all use something fun to look forward to right about now!!! 🧪🧪🧪 Abstract submission and registration are open for the FASEB Hematologic Malignancies Conference. This is always the BEST meeting!!! Please RT! events.faseb.org/event/hemato...

Holiday fun! Big thanks to Amanda for setting up a Cocoa Bar and all our Knight friends who helped decorate!

This is really amazing: introducing the Academic Career Excellence (ACE) Award or K32. This will be an NCI funding mechanism to support late-stage graduate students and early-stage postdoctoral scholars that does *NOT* require US citizenship - game changer grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

#ASHKudos to super talented MD/PhD student Amara Pang on her Graduate Award from @ash-hematology.bsky.social. She has launched a fantastic new project in the lab on Kit-mutant mastocytosis! #ASH24

Exited to share data from super talented team Drs Carlson and Tauchmann on SETBP1-associated epigenetic complexes! Stop by to see if I can remember how to present a poster 😉. #ash2024 Poster 3143. @samtau19.bsky.social

So grateful to reconnect with my EHA/ASH TRTH community every year! I cannot overstate the value of these longitudinal mentoring relationships! @ash-hematology.bsky.social @leslie-s-kean.bsky.social

Kudos to stellar postdoc Shruthi Subramanian on her recently funded Collins Medical Trust Award on CEBPA-mutant leukemia!!! 🥂

Taking a little time to recharge after a busy fall. 🌊

A fabulous group of people to work with can't recommend highly enough if you are on the job market!!

Obligatory post so you know it’s really us! Maxson Lab flow fun!
