The global LGBTQ+ festival was held for the first time in the nation's capital. Organizers say the current political environment has dampened the excitement surrounding the celebration.

Please tell your friends and family who are still parroting the lie that academic research can be replaced by private industry

Book research on how names shift science. How do controversial ideas become accepted in medical research and medicine? T-suppressor cells were "debunked" and then rebranded as #Tregs. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome now ME w/ #ChronicLyme to #IACI following #LongCOVID. I want to hear your stories!!

Your state DMV probably won't text you about unpaid fees — but scammers will.

David Liu @harvard.edu beautifully articulates the criticality of basic science funding for developing revolutionary therapeutics like life-saving base editors 👏 youtu.be/8YhJM6zxYDw?...

@repbonnie.bsky.social : May I humbly submit that this should be required viewing for everyone in Congress. I believe it does an excellent job explaining why taxpayers benefit from the federal government’s support of scientific research. www.pbs.org/video/breakt...

Please consider passing around this very informative interview to everyone you know (especially non-scientists). I believe it does an excellent job explaining why taxpayers benefit from the federal government’s support of scientific research. www.pbs.org/video/breakt...

HOOSIERS: I'm very excited to be in conversation with Michael Koryta for the Bloomington Book Festival. You can learn more and get tickets here: buskirkchumley.org/events/an-ev...

Stay strong @harvard.edu

If you are a PhD or postdoc and want to present your exciting science, make sure to check out the abstract challenge to present a Flash Talk at the Virtual @chembiotalks.bsky.social on September 30th. #ChemBio #ChemSky #DrugDiscovery chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/...

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

My ongoing request: If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here. NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h... NIH: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h... Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.

Hey y'all! My department is conducting a search for an assistant or associate professor in bacteriology. It's pretty broadly defined. If you know anyone who's looking for a great department that does awesome science - please send them our way! You can DM me with any questions you have 😀

Nice news (for me, anyway): Everything Is Tuberculosis is on the NYT bestseller list for a SEVENTH consecutive week.

Bill Gates per today’s NY Times article: “I think there’s a logic to solving tuberculosis. I mean, it’s criminal not to solve TB. It’s criminal not to solve H.I.V. It’s criminal not to eradicate malaria.”

I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs. Plant, Bacterial, Archaeal Non-model Bioeng Custom Lab Hardware Turn Key Genetic Design Please repost for reach 💚

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

Congratulations @heran.bsky.social !

ATTENTION: NSF GRANT RECIPIENTS We received a heads up from a trusted source that you should proactively download/print/screen shot any documentation on research.gov pertaining to your NSF awards, both those that are current and any that have closed in the last 5-6 years. 1/n

Even with the steady stream of outrages, the stupidity and cruelty of these steps make it difficult for me to even type... I can't really imagine what it would be like to have a rare disease or to have a family member with one... /fin

We are very happy to announce the publication of this work led by Eric Nuermberger and his lab at Hopkins and in collaboration with the Zimmerman and Alland groups. It discusses the further in vivo profiling of our preclinical TB candidate JSF-3285. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools) Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

Thank you @princetonupress.bsky.social

Thank you #MIT

I just can't put this devastation into words. I am so sorry. And absolutely will impact TB incidence in the coming years.

These kinds of cuts are taking place when #TB rates are rising, including in the US. They dovetail with USAID cuts to #TB programs.

The stethoscope was invited 200 yrs ago After decades of stagnation, it has evolved! Digital stethoscopes which use AI to identify normal vs abnormal heart, lung sounds, etc. A simple, low-cost, non-invasive way of screening for TB, asthma, murmurs, pneumonia, fetal distress? We need research!

Congratulations @saehrt.bsky.social. Absolutely thrilled for you and the department! news.weill.cornell.edu/news/2025/04...

The university refused to make changes it said would "dictate what private universities can teach" and "whom they can admit and hire," among other things.

Nature Communications is looking to hire an organic chemist – more details in the link below #Chemsky #Chemjobs 🧪

Seeing some familiar faces here!

Really important contribution by a large number of TB survivors, advocates & researchers! Communities of people affected by TB are experts in their care pathways, but the TB field continues to fall short of meaningfully engaging communities in TB research journals.plos.org/globalpublic...

Great news: NIH postbac program is recruiting again! If your grad school plans were affected by program cutbacks or admissions freezes this year I highly encourage you to apply, this could be a perfect opportunity. Please repost. www.training.nih.gov/research-tra...
