I haven't seen any coverage on this! Time to submit another comment! www.regulations.gov/commenton/OM...

Instead of hearing about this and thinking “how dare he take 3 months off!” consider thinking that 3 months’ paid leave for inpatient depression treatment could be available for everybody if people like Rep. Tom Kean (R-NJ) chose to pass a law that said so

I donated to Advocates for Trans Equality today transequality.org When things are shitty, push back by putting good back into the world, whatever that looks like and for whatever cause(s) that make most sense for you.

Send this article to your Rep and Senators. Demand action. Keep the pressure on!

If your rep is not on the list of signatories, call them and ask why not! tinyurl.com/y73tpn5m

We have their attention, need to keep the pressure on! 🧪 thehill.com/newsletters/...

Rode a bike in a place that didn't allow cars and now I'm convinced we need this everywhere

I woke up still in disbelief that a scientific society had police forcibly remove scientists from a scientific meeting for handing out printed copies of an editorial published in their own journal

This is an example of a scientific association censoring its members, real scientists, for defending attacks on science. The police were called to remove the scientists for handing out hard copies of this editorial. diabetesjournals.org/care/article...

WHAT IS GOING ON?!?! @amdiabetesassn.bsky.social

Even just the trailer gives me chills and makes me proud to be a scientist! I can't wait for a screening near me!

• Submit a comment opposing the destruction of 🇺🇸 science; • Pressure every org, professional body, association, uni, etc. you are affiliated with to submit the strongest possible comment opposing this calamity (highest ROI move for most of us) • Make sure your electeds see those comments 🧪

5 more years of funding! Thanks NIGMS! If you are interested in pursuing a postdoc in the Galligan Lab, please reach out!

Just a reminder that you can join the AAUP even if the faculty at your university aren't unionized. At minimum, it's a monthly donation to an organization that is actually fighting for academics

Does the new math the admin is trying to roll out mean that I can say the measles vaccine is 3300% effective?

Happy to support a program to brings dignity and generosity to end-of-life care

🚨 PI in the lab 🚨

I’m looking for an automated way to read others’s scientific data without giving credit or acknowledgement, and also claim full credit for insights from it. And I want it to have a fitting name OAI: say no more

I'm at the American Association for Immunologists #IMMUNOLOGY2026 meeting for the 1st time! I was worried about being out of place as a neuroimmunologist but it turns out I will fit right in! I was thrilled to see this badge ribbon. Come by my lab's PLCG2 poster 709 Friday!

If news outlets want to (rightfully) celebrate photos from Artemis II, they should be required to talk about the govt funding cuts that threaten all of scientific research

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.

Interested in investigating dietary and metabolic regulation of immune responses? We have a PostDoc and a PhD position available in the lab. karriereamukb.de/jobs/postdoc...

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

This is insane. I sat on this bench yesterday morning waiting for my flight. It's well after passengers clear security prior to their departing flights

this is an out-and-out lie multi-year funding doesn’t give ANYONE more money up-front the money simply sits in different account at NIH no one gets money sooner

@aai.org is working to protect you from preventable diseases…AAI contributed to the brief that helped the court in this ruling: Judge Strikes Down Kennedy’s Vaccine Policies www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

I really want to know who reviews our different online trainings

making someone a sciencv delegate is the science version of giving them your spare house key

I need flowjo help! I used to have a default preference to sort samples by COLLECTION TIME but in whatever iteration of v10 I have #dongle4life that option seems to have disappeared. Anyone know the new workspace sort order keyword I need to fix this? 🧪 #immunosky

Letz go even bigger and better,,, ALL Female US Olympians and Paralympian medalists are invited out to celebrate in Viva Las Vegas for the SHE GOT GAME Weekend ,,, Hit a guy up and LETZ GOOO

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

Thank your NIH POs: they are working under challenging dictates, including being required to multi-year fund (and therefore cut) grants. Congress caving on MYF means that the NIH budget has been effectively cut significantly. There’s no sugar-coating this.

I would ask people to call or message their senators about this and specifically that Vinay Prasad needs to be out at FDA. Even the Wall Street Journal has said as much. There is push back. Companies won’t fund clinical trials if they can’t trust the FDA.

Once all of the other, uh, things are settled we really need a serious public health campaign around everything involved in being part of a society.

The people of Minnesota are feeding my soul with hope right now. It's been starving for even a crumb of inspiration, and they are serving up a hot buffet.

We are in business!!!!

Today, I told my students: We're working under pressures and constraints that aren't of our own making and that we have limited power to control. So, let’s not pretend that social forces stop at the classroom door. Instead, let’s take care of each other with empathy and support.

new level of science vendor dystopia: having to submit a webform to request a product's datasheet. It's annoying enough to do this with pricing. But datasheets? Absolutely not! 🧪

Interested in stable isotope infusions but daunted by jugular catheter surgery? New from postdoc @kimyumi0201.bsky.social: our simple tail vein catheter method enables anesthesia-free infusions in awake, freely moving mice. 🧵

Is arginine the new cysteine?! Check out our lab's latest in collaboration with @ianseiple.bsky.social's team where we introduce ninhydrin as a selective covalent warhead and probe targeting reactive arginines. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

It's working better now, perhaps because it's 6pm EST 🤣

are we all trying to make our biosketches on SciENcv today or is the website just always this bad? 🧪

Our new bird feeder camera is up and the first images are in

Correlation or causation?

As a both a PI that received a Diversity Supplement to support a student on my R01, and a PO that reviewed them, they were never about "handing out money at the end of the year based on race" and always about the training potential and commitment.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

Happy Pre-Thanksgiving weekend everyone! In the spirit of overindulgence I invite you all to feast on a cornucopia of Arey lab preprints (okay only two)! And fittingly their themes happen to be in the realm food and drink! Settle down next to the metaphorical fire as I share the stories...

Dear Admissions Committee, If only I could hand over the keys to my lab to them. I am sure they will achieve tenure before even taking their qualifying exam. My recent grant is based on their drunken doodle. *Recommendation letter not sent, no deadline included in email request.
