SBGrid's eLife paper received a citation in August from @drennanlab.bsky.social from @mit.edu in @pnas.org: Structural basis for anaerobic alkane activation by a multisubunit glycyl radical enzyme. Read more here: buff.ly/Reqb8UR #SBGrid #StayConnected

From MIT Daily from MIT News

The Drennan Lab is investigating how nature performs challenging chemistry in oxygen-free environments, with potential applications for remediation, such as cleaning up oil spills, in situations where traditional approaches are ineffective. @drennanlab.bsky.social chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-ne...

Congratulations to Dr. Santosh Singh, Naike Ye, Kaelyn McFarlane-Connelly, Robert Raclea, and Kunal Lodaya, who were each recently honored with the inaugural Department of Chemistry Research Excellence Award. @interphases.org @drennanlab.bsky.social chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-ne...

@acs.org Great seeing former Drennan lab undergrad Abigail Scott Porter at #ACSFall2025. Proud Chemist and Proud Mentor.

Had fun talking to early career bioinorganic chemists at #ACSFall2025

If red state Republicans redraw their congressional maps to rig the midterm elections, blue state Democrats must even the playing field by responding in kind. Use our toolkit to demand that Democratic governors and legislators in your state act now: www.bluestatedefiance.org/redistrictin...

You can join us here if you can’t get into Zoom. We’re starting the One Million Rising training now.

Starting now! Strategic noncooperation final live training. Check it out!

Whether or not Congress cuts NIH’s budget, the Trump administration has devastated its ability to operate. Story by @katherinejwu.com www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Lovely to catch up with my postdoc mentor @drennanlab.bsky.social at ICBIC! & great to meet Balyn Muffley, former Drennan Lab undergrad now doing some amazing graduate work in @joanbroderick.bsky.social Lab! 🧪🧫🧬🔬

The science sabotage is deadly. Trump et al. aren’t just attacking research, they're risking lives. Cuts by the “pro-life party” est. to kill 50k+ Americans each year. Sounds more like the “pro-death party” to us. ✊ Help us fight for lives by joining the #SummerFightForScience ➡️ zurl.co/Igt4C

🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏 *squinting* We had more people at the Lincoln Memorial for our Stand Up for Science rally on March 7th! #StandUpforScience #FailedBirthdayParade

Good turnout for #NoKings protest in Newton MA despite the rain.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have filed a lawsuit against the Trump admin, accusing of politically motivated cuts to funding. “I think that if we fight back and we show that our laws still work, it means something to people,” says Sabeeha Merchant, Berkeley professor. zurl.co/xnJgg @tktk.bsky.social

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is among 13 research universities and three organizations suing the National Science Foundation (NSF), after the agency’s efforts to slash indirect costs at grant-receiving institutions. Thank you MIT and everyone involved in this law suit. #SaveScience

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

Cuts to NOAA funding threaten our ability to predict and monitor hurricanes and tornadoes—putting lives and communities at risk. But NOAA’s work goes far beyond weather. Guest blogger Dr. David Shiffman shares 10 vital but lesser-known roles NOAA scientists play.

“Five former National Weather Service directors have taken the unusual step of signing onto an open letter warning that cuts to the organization by the Trump administration may soon endanger lives.” Gift link: nyti.ms/3YrIw3Q

Earlier today, ASBMB joined three other scientific societies in leading a substantial, 22-page amicus curiae brief in support of the plaintiffs in American Public Health Association v. NIH. This is a formal public submission to the court. ➡️Read our full message: bit.ly/3RJnWbp.

SaveNSF is a coalition of concerned scientists and allies who are working to save funding for scientific grants through the NSF. The mission is to support and advocate for the continuation of vital research and innovation. Join: www.savensf.com

I've had the privilege & luck of having NSF funding for >25 yrs. #WithoutNSF we would not have discovered new mechanisms of chemosensation, described how gut bacteria influence neuronal function, trained many who are now scientists & educators, & appreciated the joys & rewards of science outreach.

The president is recommending a 40% cut to next year’s NIH budget. This would be disastrous for our nation’s health and economy. Please contact your representatives, especially if they are Republicans, and tell them why this cannot happen. An easy option: 5calls.org

Trump proposes unprecedented budget cuts for US science in next fiscal year NASA cut by 24% NIH cut by 40% EPA cut by 55% NSF cut by 56% Analysis from @maxkozlov.bsky.social @dangaristo.bsky.social @alexwitze.bsky.social and @nature.com team www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Thank you to the ASBMB for taking action to support early career scientists.

Congratulations Yukiko. So well deserved.

It’s official! 🎉 I’m thrilled to announce that I will be joining MIT as an assistant professor in a shared appointment between Biology, EECS and Schwarzman College of Computing this fall.
