Happy to see this review out there. A great writing team made this a fun project. Thanks @ahadjihambi.bsky.social for including me!

Quit confounding those in administrative positions with "leadership". It is possible that administrators (In academia read as Provost, Dean, Department Heads) lead, but in my experience it is much more likely that they are just not going to make waves. This makes them bad leaders.

President Trump and HHS secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are expected to tie autism to acetaminophen use during pregnancy, and present a cancer drug as a possible treatment. There is little credible scientific evidence for either claim.

Legend David Baltimore died yesterday. He understood the way things should work: "the real contribution of MIT is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It takes ideas seriously, but the people are relatively informal. They are not self-aggrandizing the way academics can be."

Looking for a postdoc! We have a recently funded NIH T32 and would love for you to work with our faculty to apply. Reach out to me and let me know your area of interest. I'll put you in touch with faculty with that expertise. My expertise is mechanistic studies of fatty liver and diabetes.

Don't text me to see if I can talk. Call me and I'll answer if I can talk. If I don't answer, I can't talk, but I'll call back.

Way too many people in academia act like their job is a Game of Throwns. This job would be so much more enjoyable if we worked toward common goals.

Hey #neuroscience bsky. I know that expression of NaChBac can chronically activate neurons. Is there a similar protein that will chronically inhibit neurons?

Congratulations Thadeus and Yashika! Celebrating our awesome UA graduates. So proud of everything you have accomplished in the lab. You will be missed, but we're excited for you to go on and do great things! 🥳 @uazhealthsciences.bsky.social @uazbio5.bsky.social

It is beyond disturbing when the NIH and HHS Directors do not understand that animal models are essential in research www.statnews.com/2025/05/19/a...

GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonism in mice provides multimodal efficacy to decrease hepatic steatosis and consequently improve insulin sensitivity, in concert with recovery of endogenous β-cell function and reduced insulin demand #diabetes @natcomms.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

tl;dr — this EO co-opts the language of open science to implement a system of political control wherein presidential appointees are given broad latitude to designate any number of reasonable scientific activities and inferences as scientific misconduct, and to penalize those involved accordingly.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

🎤Hey, is this thing on? The Animal Models for the Social Dimensions of Health and Aging Research Network is on Bluesky! We are an NIA-funded network headquartered at UMN, ASU, UNC, and Duke that supports early-career scientists using animal models to study social aging. New funding available soon!

For all my science followers, we ordered an AAV from @vectorbuilder.bsky.social. They delivered an AAV that didn't induce expression and refuse to provide working virus. My advice, find another company to make your AAVs.

Hi Folks! Myself and the Barberan Lab at U of A are still looking for a PhD student to work on an NSF funded project exploring effects of fire and invasion on soil microbes. We are looking for someone to start in Fall! SOON! Email me if you are interested! PLS Repost! @EsaSeeds

This is an assault on health and health focused research.

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

Transgenic is not the same as transgender. Scientists are making transgenic (transfer of genes) not transgender mice. We do this to learn about the function of a gene.

This MF’er just brought Andrew Tate, a rapist and human trafficker, to Florida! 🤬 The hypocrisy is astounding!

Call your R representative in the US House and tell them to vote against this budget tonight. Do it right now, seriously. It matters. You can find them here: reps.fyi

When "end racism" is controversial we have allowed ourselves to slip into dystopia.

Welp, tariffs work. As a US citizen I'm paying this "Tax on China".

This work is killer and Jess is a great collaborator

The Dept. of Biochem. & Biophys. @ WashU is running its summer undergrad research program! Rising seniors who have not had the opportunity to do bona fide research but are interested in this are strongly encouraged to apply Deadline: Jan 31st Details: biochem.wustl.edu/resources/in... Pls share!
