I’m hiring a postdoc! Would love someone with in vitro experience but it’s not necessary, jobs.okstate.edu/jobs/postdoc...

Hi everyone! I know I have been very vocal about what has been going on in my lab regarding funding etc. If you want an update on what we accomplished this year, check out my blog post: elizabethmccullagh.com/2025/05/22/2... secure.osugiving.com/s/giving/ann...

Finally online! A cool study and the most awesome collaboration with @neuroliz.bsky.social to unravel the role of mitochondrial membrane integrity and sex in sound-processing neurons! 🔬🔬🔬 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

Ever wonder how many lives have been saved by NIH-funded research - including your own? Enter any medical condition and instantly see how your tax dollars transformed science into survival. www.ourhealthroi.com

Very interesting. I also imagine with the current cancelations that women are more greatly impacted since they are more likely to be involved in DEI etc. scared to see what the data looks like in 2025.

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility. There’s much to do everywhere so that trans and non-binary people can live without fear. Our single point of reflection is this: what’s your organisation doing to support trans+ people?

Take that, nerd! We don't want to fund your woke Marxist research on "relieving stress and anxiety in adolescents." Children are the future and the future should feel bad.

You know who did read the grants that are being terminated? At least three experts in the field from around the country read them really carefully, and they and a whole panel of dozens of scientists rated them among the top 10% of applications. Apparently we're funding based on word searches now.

Not that anybody would be looking for opportunities outside the states these days, but I'm recruiting a PhD student in auditory stuff (Developmental and/or Cognitive / citizen science etc) here in Auckland, NZ www.themusiclab.org/about#join

Feeling a bit AHHHHHHH because of all the tyranny? Check out our Action Lab for options to channel that energy #resist

REMEMBER TO MARCH! for science … and for all you cherish in 🇺🇸 on MARCH 7th (NEXT FRIDAY)! Find you local events at @marchforsciencemn.bsky.social @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social @500queerscientists.bsky.social @500womensci.bsky.social

Last weekend I wrote a letter to the editor to my hometown newspaper as part of the Sciencehomecoming.com movement. I will share my letter in this thread, and share my approach to lower the activation energy for y'all to join me. 🧪 #microsky

"the concept of a teach-in — wherein a panel of college professors or experts on a subject hold a discussion around a relevant social or political issue — originated in the University in 1965 to protest the war in Vietnam."

A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter. By @avaskham.bsky.social bit.ly/3X8ngz8

Join us! Science Homecoming helps scientists reconnect with communities by writing about the importance of science funding in their hometown newspapers. We’ve mapped every small newspaper in the U.S. and provide resources to get you started. Help science get back home 🧪🔬🧬 🏠 sciencehomecoming.com

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this: Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

Great piece: Firsthand testimonies of how the flux in diversity-based funding is impacting trainees. Gratitude to @thetransmitter.bsky.social for amplifying these voices. Gratitude to all the trainees who bravely spoke up with these diverse perspectives so we can all better understand.

"It’s hard to know what’s real,” says neuroscientist @joshdubnau.bsky.social, after a dizzying week in which diversity-related grant applications were pulled from study sections only to be reinstated five days later, among other reversals. By @avaskham.bsky.social #neuroskyence bit.ly/4hYt3zv

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Thank you Federal Workers. You're out of this world!

Dear Public Health Workers, our love for you is CONTAGIOUS!

You all are Tree-Mendous!

Dear EPA Workers, you are Air-Replacable!

Dear Public Health Workers, you are the Anti-Body to misinformation!

A lot of what Trump and the Republican elite are doing at NIH now is illegal. Blatantly illegal. We shouldn’t just wait for the courts: don’t do things that are illegal. Very important stuff here from the president of the Union of Concerned Scientists, @gretchentg.bsky.social.

A little thing you can do!

U.S. Senators: If Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. takes over the Department of Health and Human Services, people will die who could have lived. If you vote today to confirm him, their deaths will be on your hands. slate.com/technology/2...

Absolutely. Dozens of them. See also www.chronicle.com/article/were...

The NIH Notice about the new indirect cost rate "plan"

There are so many things to be angry about, but knowing that trainees are missing opportunities and losing their jobs for applying to the wrong grant mechanism is at the top of my list right now

This is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction. We all need to speak out to save lives.

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...

I got the screenshot from a reliable source, but you don't have to take my word for it. bsky.app/profile/jlwe...

My entire research career has been funded by diversity sups. From undergrad, to summer internships, to now having the F31 diversity. If I didn't benefit from diversity funding, there is NO WAY in HELL I would be getting my PhD in neuroscience in a few months. It simply would not have been possible.

I just reached out to my senators about the NIH situation. If you need to find out how much impact NIH has in your state in terms of dollars in and their economic impact here's a link: www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Taking away medical research funding will make everyone poorer, sicker, and more at risk. It will slow down new cancer treatments, and delay new discoveries. It will cost you money.

Perfect way to start the new lab and the new year! Excited to talk about octopus cells with everyone

Thrilled to share the Ford Foundation has awarded a grant of $200,000 to the Dark Laboratory, my climate research organisation of scientists, technologists, and artists who focus on Black, Indigenous, & Asian futurism!

Not now, sea snakes.
