Scientists, especially Seattle ones! One of my research scientists is heading to her PhD and we're looking to fill her spot, if not replace her. If you know someone looking to do cool and impactful translational research give them this: uwhires.admin.washington.edu/ENG/Candidat...

Mike Lauer still putting data out there. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

i wrote an essay for @thetransmitter.bsky.social about what it feels like to serve on an NIH grant review panel (study section) right now www.thetransmitter.org/craft-and-ca...

Some PIs will stop at nothing to motivate their lab members. 🧪

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯 Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below. This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

this is getting ridiculous (in a good way). first it's $15 plasmid sequencing, now it's $25 C. elegans genome sequencing. time to look through our freezer collection at all the mutants we never followed up...

UAB is a fantastic place: great science, great people, and great trainees! The collaborative vibe spans across multiple departments. Also the food in Birmingham is legit amazing.

My colleague Dan beat me to the punch but I am so thankful that my hometown paper (and others) was willing to share this with the community.

Many in biotech/private sector are boasting about their ways of funding and doing science But they are staffed with PhDs and postdocs we train in our NIH and NSF funded labs in universities With university labs lacking funds to train, the private sector will be profoundly harmed

Jeanna’s an amazing instructor, highly recommend this for mental and physical health given *waves vaguely at the increasing chaos everywhere*

1/3 Why does the US lead the world in the number of clinical trials? How come americans are given the unique chance to get the latest treatment and a fighting chance against often incurable diseases? That's all thanks to research and the support from the NIH!

Extremely disappointed to see HHMI decide to kill their Inclusive Excellence program, including terminating the current IE3 awards to over a hundred institutions effective this year in the middle of a 6-year grant. I was hoping HHMI (and other private funders) would continue to lead the way.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Impact of NIH funding in WA state (from www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...)

This account is for sharing info with US scientists, both extramural and intramural to NIH, about attacks on science in the US. Education is power, and we can help advocate for science and medicine together. 💪🧪 We are a team of NIH people. Please ask us questions you might have.

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

Wow, very important study, with implications for other transgenic models of AD, especially those with documented variability (which is many of them)

Nice C. elegans methods review in this month's Genetics: Tools and methods for cell ablation and cell inhibition in Caenorhabditis elegans academic.oup.com/genetics/art... @genetics-gsa.bsky.social

Welcome to Bluesky, Genetics Society of America @genetics-gsa.bsky.social ! We have, of course, added you to the Model Organism Research Resources starter pack. go.bsky.app/Npxsd7h

Here's the latest work from my group! We built a C. elegans model of human TMEM106b proteinopathy by expressing the human gene in neurons. TMEM106b is a new kid on the block in terms of aggregating proteins. Long story short, it can driven neurodegeneration. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36056242/

omg a student somehow accidentally wrote an email addressed to a faculty-wide NYU listserv and my inbox is now a master class on who understands the difference between a listserv and an email chain
