I think this is on point! Universities must unite, and is time for Harvard to lead! www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Really enjoyed this one too and learnt a lot!

🔬Our paper from the @miriammerad.bsky.social lab is now online! This is a story shaped over years of cross-disciplinary endeavor at @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social and labs across the world. 🧵: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This looks like a great opportunity: #Tenure-track assistant #professor position at University of Lausanne on #MPMI career5.successfactors.eu/career?caree...

Listed are some of the many NIH research training programs that were terminated! Together, these programs supported thousands of trainees, whose careers are now in limbo. Such a great loss for discovery and innovation. We must protect our next generation of scientists! #HandsOffNIH #ProtectScience

I just sent this email to Director Bhattacharya and am sending him a hard copy by registered mail. 1/14

A joint statement with @savehealthresearch.bsky.social on the supreme courts decision today that will pave the way for hundreds of millions of dollars in NIH grant terminations. We are heartbroken and stand with the extramural community during this devastating time.

The Supreme Court is reviewing a vitally important NIH case on its shadow docket. It is likely that the Court will back Trump, and say his (illegal) grant terminations are ok. We must speak up now. 1/

David Liu @harvard.edu beautifully articulates the criticality of basic science funding for developing revolutionary therapeutics like life-saving base editors 👏 youtu.be/8YhJM6zxYDw?...

🚨 Action alert: Two days left!! Help protect NSF/NIH from political interference. 👎 A new rule (Sched. F) would allow for replacing career program officers with political appointees. ➡️ Action: Object here by THIS FRIDAY. Comments can be brief and/or anonymous. Helps future litigation.

If I was hunting for a postdoc, I would definitely apply for this one! Dr. Gibbs truly cares about mentoring and pursuing really cool science. Apply! Apply!

In December I accepted a position as a senior investigator at the NIH in the National Human Genome Research Institute & Center for Genomics and Data Science Research. Bringing the party in the desert to Maryland. We are hiring postdocs & postbacs! Please reach out :)

New at Can We Still Govern: An anonymous NIH employee maps out the GOP budget gameplan to permanently gut our most important science agency. Impoundment, delay and red tape will create artificial "savings" that become the new benchmark for NIH budgets. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-nih-bu...

Have a look on this upcoming meeting

Announcing the Biophysics Week IDP Trainee Symposium on March 27 at 12pm CT hosted by @idpseminars.bsky.social & The BPS IDP Subgroup! Join via Zoom for talks by talented grad students & postdocs. Abstract submissions are open! See flyer for more details! #BiophysicsWeek @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social

It's time to educate our neighbors about the importance of science funding. Local news papers still exist and are read by folks. Here is the op-ed I wrote for this week's "News of Orange", a local paper in Orange Co NC. Full text is on the alt-text 🧪

Let's go @ascbiology.bsky.social #scientistsinaction #useyourvoice #leadership find your representatives www.govtrack.us Call daily!

Still waiting for publishers, institutions, companies, and individuals who care about science to stop making statements and start making a plan. You have the collective means to fund science that’s been attacked. Now is the time to use that rainy day fund to preserve the values you claim to share.

I have a wonderful scientist in my lab who is looking to move to Europe. Is anyone looking for a staff scientist? She has a PhD. She is particularly in her element doing field work. Great skills with rodents and very open to non-rodent positions as well. Please send leads, please amplify!

Apply! Apply! This group has been pure inspiration and practical support!

I’m so honored to get a Spotlight from Keystone Symposia! I’m very grateful for this community of fellows and mentors.

The Dept. of Biological Sciences at Columbia is searching for an #AssistantProfessor in the area of #biochemistry — submit a one-page anonymized statement of research w/app. Apply here: : apply.interfolio.com/160181

📣 Please share: We’re hiring a tenure-track Group Leader in Multicellular Systems to explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving the formation, maintenance, or destabilization of tissues, organs and organisms. Apply at: www.fmi.ch/education-ca...

It’s happening! So excited to present my work and honored to introduce Dr. Engle from Boston Children’s Hospital to HBPA symposium, or special guest representing continuous partnership of BCH and HBPA to elevate excellence of historically underrepresented folks in science! Join us!

this seems pretty dope

My lab is looking for a postdoc that is interested in working on EGFR mediated signaling kinetics using single-molecule microscopy approaches. Please pass this along to late stage grad students looking for a postdoc opportunity. Please repost for reach! www.vanderbilt.edu/postdoc/pros...

Delaying needed change & direct interventions w/faculty to conduct ANOTHER climate survey or share data on classroom/campus incivility & bias brings to mind Dr. @ruha9.bsky.social's "datafication of injustice"...in which the hunt for more & more data is a barrier to acting on what we already know."
