We are recruiting for a project extending our current work using machine learning for fluorescent biosensors at Janelia! We have both experimental and computational positions posted: hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern... hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

📢We're #hiring Group Leaders! Apply to lead a lab at Janelia & advance biology using theory, computational modeling & machine learning. 🔹5-year renewable appointment 🔹Pioneer new tools & approaches 🔹Collaborate across disciplines Apply by Nov. 4👉 https://janelia.link/groupleader

Applications are now open for the 4th edition of the “Ecole de Physique des Houches” on Fluorescence Markers for Advanced Microscopies, a WE-Heraeus seminar. March 15th-20th 2026 Join us to learn everything you wanted to know about Fluorescent Markers for advanced microscopies.

"I'm still in shock. I know that there have been political issues around Harvard in recent weeks, but antibiotic resistance isn't one of them." My conversation with Harvard microbiologist @baym.lol, one of many researchers there who just lost millions in fed. grants. www.wbur.org/news/2025/05...

$95 b return on a $37 b investment. Federally funded research is a good return - even without, you know, remarkably effective new treatments for cancer, curing genetic disorders, making progress and improving the lives of those with neurodegenerative disease, etc. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

🧪Rhobo6, a light microscopy probe developed by the Pedram Lab & collaborators, gives scientists an unprecedented look at the extracellular matrix—the collection of organized molecular structures that fills the spaces between cells in our bodies. www.janelia.org/news/looking...

the lab is recruiting scientists! we are particularly excited about engineering fluorescent proteins and biosensors using high-throughput assays and machine learning. questions? please get in touch!

As West Virginia University plans to cut apparently its entire foreign language program, it's whole graduate program in math and a slew of other traditional liberal arts, it seems worth resurfacing my NYTimes piece from last April:

I asked an Indigenous colleague in Hawai'i where people can donate to and these were his suggestions (1/2): Hawaiʻi People's Fund: https://hawaiipeoplesfund.networkforgood.com/projects/200566-maui-aloha-the-people-s-response-fund ʻĀina Momona: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kokuamaui
