My lab in the NIH Intramural Program (Bethesda, MD) will be recruiting postdoctoral fellows over the next year with flexible start dates. We work on nanoscale cellular imaging of the plasma membrane and related organelles. Please reach out if you’re interested. www.training.nih.gov/jobs/pdp-053...

BRING THE TRAINS!

NIH funding is like pizza 🍕. Usually, the NIH gives many researchers a slice of the pie, but this year they decided to just give a few researchers the whole pie. The data show that, disproportionately, early career researchers went hungry. We need Congress to stop NIH multi-year funding mandates.

Is there a hashtag for STEM internships? Merck is accepting applications for internships in cell biology and assay development, immunogenicity, protein metabolism, biostatistics, vaccine communications, DMPK, and discovery and process chemistry.

Our department @ucdavisvetmed.bsky.social @ucdavis.bsky.social is hiring! We welcome research that diversifies or complements existing strengths in gastrointestinal, neuroimmune, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory systems and/or developmental biology. @socdevbio.bsky.social @ascbiology.bsky.social

Not bad looking, Lehigh

great news for abortion rights in Pennsylvania

Janaki Ammal was born 128 years ago today! A legend of botanical genetics, she studied how polyploidy plays into the resilience of agricultural crops, compiled a sprawling chromosomal atlas of plants, and fought for the preservation of India's natural legacy. tinyurl.com/2j9hxmjb #WomenInSTEM

This is amazing work. There is actually a switch we can flip to eliminate the gender gap in physics education!

TT faculty job opening in #Neuroscience! We are looking for a colleague to join us in our fantastic Biology Department and Neuroscience Program at Brandeis. We are a group of *very* collaborative, supportive, and productive scientists (& humans!) so please apply academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30961

This is the most frightening thing I've seen all October

We invite abstracts for “Physics of the Cytoskeleton” at the 2026 APS Global Summit in Denver. Join speakers Margaret Gardel @squishycell.bsky.social (Univ of Chicago) and Colm Kelleher (Syracuse)! This is @aps-dbio.bsky.social and @apsdsoft.bsky.social Session 04.01.03 with deadline Oct 23, 2025.

Oh I see. So we are all comb jellies!

There is an opening for a faculty position in biophysics at Carnegie Mellon... and the accompanying, VERY Markus Deserno thread full of delight in nature and physics succinctly demonstrates what an awesome colleague you will have!

Thank you, @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social! This announcement makes me proud to be a member

Wooooo! Yay for SARAH!

Major cool membrane conference coming up next week! The Biomembrane Days 2025, organized by an amazing team from the MPI for Colloids and Interface Science @mpici.bsky.social: Rumy Dimova (@dimovalab.bsky.social), Helge Ewers, and Thomas Weikl. I'm so very much looking forward to attending! 🤩 🧪

We have a postdoc opening for a protistologist with biophysics inclinations to join our @hfspo.bsky.social project! (focus will be on characterising the morphology, ultrastructure and behaviour of excavates) #protistsonsky Apply by Sept 17th (RTs appreciated!) jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecr...

The protests in Nepal, and the governments violent repression of them, are an increasingly important story right now. @globalvoices.org has reporting from Nepal on the "Nepo Kid" movement, including what the "international media" are getting wrong

Good news!

I am so excited for everyone to see this! Dr. Sreeja Sasidharan, legendary postdoc, recently showed that flow moves proteins sideways through a glass-supported lipid bilayer. We wanted to see if this could happen on the surface of living cells! AND IT CAN

A Friday night bioRxiv surprise! I need to get some movies ready

The Biochemistry Dept at the University of Washington has 2 open positions at the Asst/Assoc Prof level! Please apply and come be my colleague in Seattle! Great science, great students, great collaborations, and a lovely city

I estimate that with he money incinerated in this oopsie we could have funded at least 300 typical NSF awards, or about 1000 years worth of good science.

I wanted to show support for these brave public servants and to allow others, including the scientific community, to join me. In partnership with @standupforscience.bsky.social‬, we have a way for you to do that... www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

We are looking for a postdoc to study biomolecular condensates and/or mechanosensitive membrane proteins. Please help spread the news 🙏 sites.rutgers.edu/shi-lab/look...

🧪 Attention those with terminated grants, including for NSF, NASA, EPA, NIH, etc: Let Congress know about the impact of terminations via this form: democrats-science.house.gov/grantcancela... Only Dem staff on the House Science Committee will have access (unless if you explicitly state otherwise).

The notice and COMMENT PERIOD OPENED TODAY AND CLOSES MAY 23. Anyone who would like to register an objection or comment should go to this page and click on the green “public comment” button at the top: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... 6/n

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

Called my representatives this morning! Using 5calls.org lowers the activation barrier for sure.

Jorg, I am sad that U.S. (and global) scientists will miss the opportunity to hear your latest biophysics results. Of course, I completely understand your decision and wish you well. Many people are doing all we can to prevent further deterioration of U.S. science... I just hope it is enough

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
