Since 2018, we have been delighted to announce the shortlist for our outstanding paper prize. As ever, it’s been a true challenge for our Editors to choose the winners. 🏆 In this thread 🧵, we announce the remaining Research Article shortlist.

Job Alert! We are recruiting one postdoc to work on spiralian embryos and their crazy polar lobes. More info about this HFSP-funded position on our website baronelab.org: scroll to the end, click on "this could be you"...start your adventure!

Ray is a rockstar 😎 he deserves this a lot 👏

It's out! We describe probable reptile tracks from the earliest Carboniferous of Australia. This pushes the amniote record back by some 35-40 million years and implies that the tetrapod crown group originated deep in the Late Devonian. The paper is Open Access. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very nice to see all the Bronner lab members at the GRC!

On Valentine’s day, 15 Assistant Professors at NIH who had started their research labs in the last 2 years were fired. Their scientific expertise was built over 10-12 years of training, most if not all of which was supported by NIH. The start up funds for their laboratories were paid by NIH

NIH council meeting (NIDCR)scheduled for today, where our R01 grant (3rd percentile) was supposed to be discussed, was postponed indefinitely as a consequence of Trump's executive order which ordered pausing of all communications from all federal agencies. Not good.

All study section and council meetings suspended until at least 2/2

NIH withdrew several funding opportunities related to diversity. They’re not going to review the ones already in, and apparently they’re not going to pay the ones that have just been awarded.

They have also suspended all NIH travel including for study sections

Here it comes #science folks: Trump has instructed federal health agencies to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts including officials at the National Institutes of Health

The neighborhood in Altadena I lived in for 6yrs burned down in the #EatonFire. Like many in SoCal, my next door neighbors, Skip & Martha, lost everything. You can support them here: smahangar.com 100% of the “I skate for Skip” sales goes to helping Skip & Martha rebuild their lives.

It's heartbreaking to read messages from our friends about how they lost their homes in Altadena because of the Eaton fire 🔥 stay safe
