I was a UC PPFP fellow when I was a postdoc at UCSD. This program is invaluable--aside from support for two years of my postdoc, I received excellent mentoring from faculty at the UCs. This fellowship set me up for success and gave me a cohort of fellow postdocs who are now UC faculty. 1/2

This is my son’s soccer teammate. This is heartbreaking to watch, no kid should go through this. I know his parents, they are good people. No family should endure this. The cruelty and evil actions of the trump administration and ICE are tearing families and communities apart.

Whatever else you think of him, I don't think he is insincere about this stuff, and it should be recognized as extraordinary that he, Pritzker, and other governors are talking about the federal government in these terms. It's not normal political rhetoric, it's the language of existential emergency.

Peer review wouldn’t be the same without #asbmbJBC's Gaetano Santulli, Susan Bellis, Birte Svensson, #asbmbJLR's Bill Griffiths, John Parks, Robert “Nate” Helsley, #asbmbMCP's @garcialabms.bsky.social & so many others! Thank you for lending your time, expertise & passion to ASBMB journals. #PRW2025

Decades of research have found that acetaminophen is safe for children when administered as recommended. Misleading claims link the medicine to autism. These false claims send a dangerous message to parents and does a disservice to autistic individuals. www.aap.org/en/news-room...

Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, who died on August 24, 2016. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more! #FluorescenceFriday www.nature.com/articles/nme...

Beat the heat! Its getting toasty in San Diego, so I got out early to avoid the heat, had a nice hike at @MissionTrailsRegionalPark in San Diego @ucsandiego.bsky.social - 65 miles of trails, 8000 acres - and close proximity to UCSanDiego. mtrp.org/trail-maps/

DOGE just shut down San Diego County’s wastewater testing system. No more research or monitoring for deadly diseases despite the critical role wastewater surveillance played in fighting COVID. Dangerous and really stupid.

MIT following Harvard's lead here

Just one example: In the past 2 weeks, NIH has terminated dozens of programs to support students pursuing scientific careers. These MARC or U-RISE (T34) grants provide rising undergraduates with opportunities and stipends to participate in science. Where are these programs? Not in the Ivy league:

Grant Writing - deadline to apply is tomorrow April 15th!

I am hearing weird rumors about some new DOGE grant payment justification system. If anyone has info, please DM me or reach out on Signal (jeremymberg.78)
