I just learned that the artist behind this iconic comic, a copy of which hung in my apartments off Hope for a decade and still hangs in my faraway house today, died in March. Godspeed.

Kudos to the Brown University students who are posting continuous live updates, spaced just minutes apart, on the campus shooting. A lot of grace and professionalism under immense pressure. www.browndailyherald.com/article/2025...

🚨🚨🚨PUI TT Job Alert!! My dept at TCNJ is hiring a tenure track cell and molecular biologist. Come join my supportive colleagues, helpful staff, & fabulous students! We're surprisingly well resourced w/excellent equipment (confocal, SEM etc) and research w/students counts towards our teaching load!

Sad news from UNR Biology @unr-biologybuzz.bsky.social: longtime faculty Dr. Jeanne Zeh has passed away. An impactful #animalbehavior and #evolution researcher, she created popular courses on #epigenetics. To help fund a scholarship in her honor: tinyurl.com/mv9suehw Obit: tinyurl.com/269844jf

I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff. "Numbers released in May by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicate that if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%" (@science.org)

Now out in @royalsociety.org Open Science! Anna Tatarko explored how site of origin affects wild bumble #bee responses to pesticide combos! Collaboration with Rachel Vannette and Steve Frese allowed her to also look at the gut #microbiome 🐝🦠🧪 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

It's not going to "vanish," it's going to be eliminated by the current administration. 🌿🌎

"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/...

As the US House tax and spending bill goes to the Senate, we encourage those who can to continue contacting your representatives about supporting funding for the NSF, NIH, EPA, and other science agencies. Use our media tool to get started: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Equally important, I think it's folly to assume things will return to "normal". The NSF is being decimated. Even if Congress were to restore prior funding levels who will administer the $? Tons of people are gone & hiring will be hard because who will trust that job going forward?

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Places with the highest unemployment rates will be hit hardest by the House budget, which kicks 15 million people off of health insurance www.epi.org/blog/house-b...

The USGS ecosystems research program doesn't just study wildlife. Its researchers work on rangelands and forests, fisheries and aquaculture, and critically, wildfire. Trump's proposed budget eliminates this program entirely, allocating $0 for 2026. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/c...

One of the worst aspects of the detailed NSF budget request (emphasis on request) is that it eviscerates our ability to train future scientists. Funding for postdocs (PhD scientists doing research w/o permanent jobs) — some of the most productive scientists out there — would be down 91%. 🧪 [1/]

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

My research career was built mostly through DEB (89.6% cut requested) and IOS (92%)

Dear science journalism, Please start including the funding source and whether it has been imperiled by the coup in your coverage of cool new science papers. The public should know the floor is being cut out from under us.

“Hundreds of National Science Foundation staffers turned out this week for a group photograph to celebrate the besieged agency’s 75th anniversary—despite efforts by NSF officials to prevent the picture from being taken.” www.science.org/content/arti...

NEW: Under Trump, the National Science Foundation is awarding grants at the slowest pace in decades. We took a detailed look at every area of science affected by the funding lag. Here's a gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
