BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Extremely grateful for catching up and spending time with my awesome visitor @cnpdr.bsky.social on beautiful Rottnest Island - another example of the wonders that the @endocrinesociety.bsky.social make possible!

To coincide with the 7th International Melanocortin Meeting, the Journal of Neuroendocrinology is calling for submissions of original studies, review articles, & commentaries relating to any aspect of the melanocortin system within the journal’s remit. @jne-editor.bsky.social shorturl.at/1YjYw

Global Entry finally starts working again for me after 15 months…

The coffee in the lounge at Zurich airport is einfach klasse - hoping the coffee in Copenhagen for #ESPE-ECE2025 is just as great.

A seriously great group of #endocrinology researchers profiled here: Lift Every Voice: Endocrine News Celebrates Black History Month - Endocrine News url:https://endocrinenews.endocrine.org/lift-every-voice-endocrine-news-celebrates-black-history-month/

I am so fed up of politicians and media outlets telling us all that the NHS is less productive than pre-pandemic, while completely ignoring the enormous collective trauma endured by its workforce during the largest public health crisis in 75 years.…

The #hypothalamus plays a large role in coordinating the neuronal signals that are responsible for keeping the body in a stable state. A special issue unpacked this brain region’s impact on physiological and behavioral homeostasis. scim.ag/41FRESU #BrainAwarenessWeek

Sneaking in to the good seats tonight on the way to #BES2025 to talk about #cats and #oxytocin. First trip home this year.

We are recruiting trainees for the Integrative Movement Sciences Summer Institute. Students will gain research experience in dynamic muscular control of movement across organizational scales from molecular mechanisms to whole-body movement in complex environments. Learn more: tinyurl.com/5n7w6pey

Let's talk about this Nature piece in more detail. I've rarely read something so anti-scientific anywhere short of the National Review. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

An enormous number of grants are not getting reviewed. Every day that goes by is another lab that might lose critical funding. Totally unacceptable. We're on day 5 (approx) of the NIH new grant freeze.

After several years, I’ve finally cracked heart zone training - quite handy to do i doors whilst the ice is still lethal outside #running #Michigan #zone2

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

All true - whilst the potential loss of these academic jobs is bad, the loss of STEM jobs is no worse than losing others; STEM might provide us with the discoveries that extend lives, but humanities/culture make those lives worth living. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Our world-leading #endocrinology section at #MSU is recruiting - if you are a DVM and have a love of all things to do with hormones, this is a great opportunity. Please share. careers.msu.edu/jobs/assist-...

Anyone else made to feel like a 5yr old when they fall off their bike? #Michigan winters are challenging.

If you are a scientist (including graduate students) or professional science communicator who is at least 18 years old and are using Bluesky for any kind of professional purposes, please consider taking our survey. Link: umiami.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Please help share. 🧪🌎 #SciComm

Any other runners benefit from jet lag bounce? Turns out a 26hr journey was excellent prep for this morning’s rainy run. Pretty sure cortisol is involved #endocrinology #running

4.30am start at Detroit airport for 6am flight to Newark and then flight home to London - 16hrs later and I'm somehow stuck in Houston. Thanks #United!

Are you allowed to multiplex the plate shaker? #pituitary #endocrinology #acromegaly

Go big or go home - really shouldn’t leave the old man in the lab at the weekend with 1728 wells of #pituitary cells and 16 treatments #EndoSky #EDCs #acromegaly

Just checked my most recent 10 publications for species: cat, cat, zebrafish, rat, cat, cat/rat, human, cat, fox, cat. The joys of # comparative #endocrinology

New paper alert - great to see this in print, started by the talented #vet Jo Aguiar and completed by the equally talented Tom Hiron - the first transcriptomic analysis of #cats with hyperthyroidism and the role of Gs-alpha. #Endocrinology rdcu.be/d0RR1

Even more expansion at #MSUVets as we increase our investment in oncology (medical & radiation). Two new faculty positions (flexible working) to help take advantage of extensive new imaging and clinical trials funding #Veterinary #cats #dogs cvm.msu.edu/recruitment/... cvm.msu.edu/recruitment/...

Calling all Early Career Hormone Dependent Cancers researchers! I will be co-chairing the upcoming Hormone Dependent Cancers GRS in Sunday River, ME, August 9th & 10th 2025. Trainees - mark your calendars! PIs - please encourage your trainees to sign up! www.grc.org/hormone-depe...

Our on-site and remote Radiology team are continuing to expand at #MSUVets. Another opportunity to join our wonderful faculty who enjoy a mix of in-person and remote working, providing a superb experience to our students and faculty. Please share. #veterinary #imaging #faculty

Starting again is tricky - let's see if this platform can survive any better.
