While @UCLA does all it can to protect its faculty, students, and staff from a $1B attack by the federal government—I’m proud to #StandUpForUC to defend life-saving research and ensure the country’s best public university isn’t devastated. bit.ly/standuc

I've written a short pice on workplace bullying in academia, the quiet kind that hides behind “high standards”, and what early career researchers can do if it happens to them. communities.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/c/phd-studen...

it's my birthday. i made it to 40. abt 30 years of it has been mostly art-making in some way, tradition and digital. i don't plan on giving that up any time soon. share my art, please - i am still available for work. mxmorgan.com if you're feelin generous, toss some coin ko-fi.com/mxmorgan

Excited to see our work out in @natcomms.nature.com evaluating genetic regions that shared between #PTSDresearch and three major #CVD domains www.nature.com/articles/s41... Big thanks to all co-authors @karmelchoi.bsky.social and others not on 🔵☁️!

Excited to announce that I’ll be presenting at the upcoming PTSD Research Conference on May 5-6, 2025, in Boston! ptsd-conference.com/speakers2025 🗓️Considering signing up and attending!!! #PTSDResearch #MentalHealth #PTSDConference #Neuroscience #Boston #Research

🚨 With federal funding dwindling, we’ve created a starter pack of funding bodies offering #grants for #research🔬 📣 Repost & 💙 to connect #researchers with #funding 💵 💶 💷 #ResearchFunding #NIH #ERC #AcademicSky #MedSky #AcademicChatter #ECRChat #NewPI #academia #science #StandWithScience #eloquenti

I am doing a career panel today in person which means I have to wear a collared shirt. Horrible. Terrible. I hate the concept of professionalism. A curse upon shirts that are not t-shirts.

“We dont take an oath to a king.” 👏👏👏👏

To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay2025 @drniamhryan.bsky.social and @jmkyang.bsky.social have been contacting some of the incredible #WomeninSTEM working in the PGC! Stay tuned as we hear about their research, goals and some of the women who have supported their journeys. #WomenSupportingWomen

NBC News story about NIH Director nominee...Not a great fit for NIH and, perhaps, a destructive agenda. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... 1/2

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Just received notice that our grant was terminated. 5R24AG066599-03 TheRiseRegistry.org

What are we becoming?

Here's hoping this works out #nih #funding #support www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Postdoc opportunity alert in #Manhattan! 🚨 Are you interested in genetics 🧬, electronic health records 🩺🏥, and omics data 🧵 ? careers.mountsinai.org/jobs/3022509... Details on 🏡 icahn.mssm.edu/education/po...

Indirect rates are not determined by NIH. Instead, they are the product of elaborate negotiations between each institution and the “cognizant federal agency” according to an Office of Management and Budget document, Circular A-21. 1/n

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

"Many of my good friends have their funding withdrawn or frozen based on the DEIA wording such as 'diverse microbes'" a scientist reliant on federal research grants told me, adding NSF proposals with terms including 'disabilities' and 'female' have been put on hold

I'm a reporter at NBC News and I'm interested in speaking with people who are familiar with the specific technical details of onboarding DOGE staff at the federal agency level — USAID or CFPB or wherever. You can reach me on Signal at: davidingram.77. I can honor requests for anonymity.

The indirect cost rate for NIH has averaged between 27% and 28% - it is now capped at 15% … this may not sound like much but the impact will be huge… if institutions dont speak out now, then when? #AcademicSky 🧪

#Postdoc in #Manhattan! Are you interested in applying large scale #genetic , #EHR, and #Omics ? Sinai provides housing assistance to postdocs. If NYC is on your wishlist, now is the time to apply. careers.mountsinai.org/jobs/3022509... Please spread the word.

This is beautiful 👇

I made a "gene info" custom GPT. Paste in a list of human gene symbols. It'll run some python code against a custom knowledge base to provide information about those genes (from RefSeq) https://chatgpt.com/g/g-677277d002608191887af1a9c0a9e832-gene-info 🧵 1/4 🧬🖥️🧪

👇👇👇Highly recommend this for anyone eager to learn and network! #Genetics #Training #LeenaPeltonenSchool

I used to be insecure before publishing my scientific work. Until I realised. If: 1️⃣it got past co-authors, reviewers & editors it can't be that bad 2️⃣there's one minor mistake in 50pg manuscript, it's not bad odds 3️⃣there are chronic haters in palaeo you can't please 4️⃣they can write a response paper
