NIH has announced a cut in the "indirect rate" to 15% across the board, in a move that appears to be retroactive to even existing grants. This is a bloodbath for research institutions throughout the country. Brief explainer for those not in this world: https://buff.ly/3EtML7D

#CellMigration for #FluorescenceFriday 🧪🔬 If a metastatic #cancer cell is offered 2 paths it decides very fast, bc it does matter where it goes... OTOH, if a non-cancer #cell is offered 2 options it takes some time to explore and decide. More in the paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
