MIT rejects "compact" proposed by the Trump administration. MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone." orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

Jean Greenberg is first up in the local and interorgan signaling session at #2025ISMPI. She’s investigating plastid contribution to plant immunity. Proline rich regions can drive plastid targeting! Also an ongoing proteomics study with EMSL to isolate plastids and learn what is there.

Wrap up 2024 with the gift of support for our early career members attending the #2025ISMPMI Congress in Cologne, Germany! Your contributions to the Michael Mishkind Travel Fund will support the next generation of researchers in our field. Learn more and donate today: my.ismpmi.org/ISMPMI/Donat...

We all know about Systemic Induced Resistance (SAR) , but what is Systemic Induced Susceptibility (SIS) ? Great talk by @chika_tateda #2025ISMPMI

As she takes the mantle of @ismpmi.bsky.social president, Jean Greenberg remarks on @ajbogdanove.bsky.social’s forward looking tenure and commitment to listening to early career researchers. Can you be proud of your PI? 🥲 Go Adam. Thanks for looking out for the future of the field. 🌟 #2025ISMPMI

Plant biologist Joanne Chory spent her career trying to grow plants that could sequester CO2 in their roots. Her wild ideas took hold. Learn about her outstanding career and legacy in Ep. 4 of “The Leap" with @hypothesisfund.bsky.social‬. 🔊 Listen here: buff.ly/yLqDcDL

Cuts to #nsf and #nih for basic research hurts the U.S Economy and our ability to innovate

We are used to hearing about destruction of the American research enterprise. This article breaks it down well. NSF Funding decreases are virtually in every area of science. This was in Project 2025. Undergrad ed- 70% cut. Grad ed- none awarded 🧪Biology- 50% cut www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

When I wanted to get postdoc training in plant science, I wrote and was awarded an NSF Plant Biology fellowship to work with my chosen mentor. That enabled me to have a productive career, make novel discoveries, get a patent and contribute to the bioeconomy. #WithoutNSF

#nsf grim news, a real setback for science and education. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Researchers in the US are seeking career opportunities abroad as President Donald Trump’s administration slashes science funding and workforce numbers, finds an analysis of Nature’s jobs-board data. #Academicsky 🧪

#science #tariffs I run a research lab. New email from a key supplier: "As you know, recent changes in trade policy ... affect a wide range of products, including many that we import, manufacture, or source domestically...." Prices are increasing, so research will be more expensive...
