Beautiful day for spring Boat Launch! #ChesapeakeBay

Join us for the Single-Molecule Forces, Manipulation, and Visualization Subgroup webinar on Wednesday March 25 from 9:00am to 11:00am EDT. This event will feature five exciting talks highlighting recent advances in single-molecule biophysics! #BiophysicsWeek Attend here: buff.ly/dZUXhz1

I am reviewing a simply amazing paper from a relatively young US-based lab, which is in danger of shutting its doors later this year. My emotions are all over the place. The fact that this does not uniquely identify the lab I’m referring to just deepens the tragedy of this moment in US science.

Finished the day with Sen Alsobrooks to advocate for #science funding #NIH #NSF #FASEB Hill Day @faseborg.bsky.social @alsobrooks.senate.gov @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social #SheLeads #MedicalResearchSavesLives #BiophysicsForBetterLiving

Rep Raskin’s office was so busy we met in the hallway to advocate for #science!!! Loved it! #NIH #NSF #FASEB Hill Day. @faseborg.bsky.social @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social #BiophysicsForBetterLiving #FundScience @raskin.house.gov

Next up was Sen Van Hollen’s office. I appreciate so much his support for #science funding #NIH #NSF #FASEB Hill Day. He also has a collection of #ChesapeakeBay pics @vanhollen.senate.gov @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social @faseborg.bsky.social #MedicalResearchSavesLives #BiophysicsForBetterLiving

I am proud to join nearly 50 other researchers from 25 states and 19 scientific societies in DC today advocating for increased funding for #NIH and #NSF during FASEB’s Capitol Hill day! #FASEBOnTheHill #FundScience Gorgeous sunrise to get this day started! @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social

i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this

Donald Trump has made $4 billion off the presidency. His rich friends get $1 trillion in tax cuts. Everyone else gets higher prices and job losses. The Trump economy is a disaster.

A broad-ranging collection of facts about public science. interesting but definitely not uplifting. ourpublicservice.org/the-unraveli... @standupforscience.bsky.social

MAGA watching 20 more $5 million missiles launch while they start a GoFundMe to buy paper towels and toothpaste.

75 years ago, the 22nd Amendment was ratified. It’s a good day to remember what the 22nd Amendment ratified: that presidents are limited to TWO terms in office. No exceptions.

I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both congresscalllist.com

Whoo hoo!! What an honor and a pleasure to add a new ribbon at the #BPS2026 this morning! @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social

Watch as incoming @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social President @karenfleming.bsky.social, from @jhu.edu, joins Biophysical Society TV to talk about the future of the field & what the Society hopes to accomplish in the coming year. #bps2026 youtu.be/pCIZqxFh2tI

I had a great time talking about the importance of storytelling our science at the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social President’s Symposium today! Always extra fun with my little fan club tags along 🩷

Great session at the Biophysical Society meeting starting with me talking about all this [Waves arms wildly] and leading to inspiring talks from skilled science communicators about engaging the public about the processes of science. Good questions and discussion.

SCIENCE FIGHTERS! We need YOU to rally with us on March 7th in Washington D.C. or at your local rally! Visit standupforscience.net/march7 to learn more! #March7 #rally #standupforscience #science #savescience

Connect with your peers and compare notes at the PI to PI Mixer! 4-6 PM in Esplanade 159/160 of the Moscone Center #bps2026

Really cool talk on the power of storytelling from @doctheagrif.bsky.social at #bps2026. I can't wait to try out her storytelling strategies and check out her stories!

Got email from grad student requesting something. Addresses me by first name. I reply and put her in touch with a man who works for me. She replies to both of us and addresses me by first name and bim as Dr. x. Don’t do this, kids

“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.” — President Bill Clinton, 1/25/26

The federal government murders another American citizen.

Kudos to the NYT editor who took “Appears to” out of the lead headline (finally)

Jane Richardson was born #OTD in 1941 + Developed the Richardson (ribbon) diagram to represent proteins' 3D structure (becoming a standard representation for protein structures) + MacArthur Fellow, 1985 + Elected, Nat'l Academy of Sciences, 1991 + President, Biophysical Society, 2012 #WomenInSTEM

Is it just me, or does it seem like a lot of MAGA cultists are abandoning ship over the 2nd Amendment issues surrounding the murder of Alex Pretti?

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
