Super excited to attend the 54th @isehsociety.bsky.social conference in Japan next week! First time in Japan. First time at a hematology conference. Great chance to network with the world's best and share our CH work in Down Syndrome. @crnicinstitute.bsky.social @cuanschutz.bsky.social

Enjoying Japan’s autumn flavors together yesterday after a full day of teamwork & remarkable effort toward multi-year strategic planning for @isehsociety.bsky.social, future scientists, and the prestige of #ExpHem. @thekinglab.bsky.social @smckinneyfreeman.bsky.social @einsteinmededu.bsky.social

Hard to think of a better group of people to work with towards a strong future for the ISEH. The BEST society for folks interested in the fundamentals of hematopoiesis and HSC Biology. @isehsociety.bsky.social

Memphis Mayor Paul Young confirmed reports that Gov. Bill Lee and the White House were in talks to send National Guard troops to Memphis.

This year's Lasker Awards went to scientists who studied the wiring diagram of life, a new state of biological matter, and a potent treatment for cystic fibrosis. Here's my story with Gina Kolata. Gift link: nyti.ms/4mZlH1F

This is a really important analysis. Scientists in the US need to pay attention.

The ISEH just launched a brand new website! Check it out and join our society today to network with your colleagues and keep abreast of the latest advances in basic and translational experimental hematology research! iseh.org

Still time to register for the annual ISEH meeting! No better place to learn about the latest advances in fundamental HSC biology!

This week on #SimplyBlood we're highlighting the first study to demonstrate that both the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein and BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine can inhibit (HbF) production by and reduce γ-globin mRNA accumulation in β-thalassemic (ErPCs). Read on www.simplyblood.org

This week on #SimplyBlood🩸 we're delighted to share an inspiring conversation with Dr. Toshio Suda, Editor-in-Chief of ExpHem! @keisukeito-lab.bsky.social had the unique opportunity to discuss the journal’s evolution including its future vision and ongoing efforts➡️https://www.simplyblood.org/

Looking forward to this #ISEH webinar by two amazing women in the field

Not every study needs to be a 20-page paper that takes months—or years—to write. Negative results, small studies, and datasets deserve a home, too. That’s why we created the 2-pager at @StacksJournal.bsky.social — a simple format to share all credible findings. 🧪 #SciPub #AcademicPublishing

All US scientists need to understand the horrible effect of this new policy: many fewer grants funded until the system normalizes (several years). How many labs will close in the meantime? Likely many.

Hell yeah, keep the pressure on. If you live in one of these states, call your Senators, thank them, and remind them that there are related issues where their states and the nation needs their support and willingness to stand up.

Turns out our *literal* rocket scientists have lots of options other than "stay here and get treated like shit"... But losing large numbers of our top top space and rocket scientists overseas could never hurt us, right? I'm sure starlink will take care of everything...

Shout out to the WSJ journalists who reported on Vought’s impoundment by footnote, causing the White House to walk it back. Impact journalism!!

Researchers at #CUAnschutz, @einsteinmededu.bsky.social and @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social have found the first direct evidence that common respiratory infections, including #COVID-19, can awaken dormant #breastcancer cells that have spread to the lungs, setting the stage for new metastatic tumors.

Happy Birthday, Rosalind Franklin. She captured an X-ray diffraction image of DNA and stated that a helical structure was probable. Watson and Crick then created a detailed model based on her results. They initially received credit for the discovery and were awarded the Nobel Prize after her death.🧪

Last chance for a possible oral presentation at ISEH! Submit today!

As a pediatrician this breaks my heart but sadly doesn’t surprise me.

Sometimes The Onion gets it just right…well done for pointing out the callousness of his comments so perfectly. Shameful.

THIS IS IT! THIS IS HUGE!! PLAINTIFF'S WIN!! Judge Young rules that the NIH grant terminations at issue in these cases are illegal and therefore vacated. BOOM!

BREAKING NEWS:

Thank you, Jeremy. “The Last Lecture” is a fine way to start your Saturday. Warning: You may get a “distant horizon” look in your eye…

Back of the envelope calculation for NIH funds cut in FY 2025 Funds cut due to terminations and slow noncompetitive renewal/grant awards: $8.6 B. 15% cut of research management and support ($2.48B), Intramural research ($5.18 B), and R&D Contracts ($3.91 B). $1.8 B. TOTAL CUT: $10.4 Billion
