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...

We are excited to announce that the 48th Annual Meeting of the SCGDB will be held September 29th - October 1st, 2025 in Minneapolis! The meeting will be hosted by the University of Minnesota.

Hello, Bluesy! We are the Society for Craniofacial Genetics and Developmental Biology. Our goals are to improve our understanding of craniofacial development and disease, promote policy and patient advocacy, and translate basic science discoveries into clinical therapies and improved patient care.

A rare piece of good news from yesterday...

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-...

“The impact of the collective executive orders and directives appears devastating.” scim.ag/40ureTO

Happy to present the first preprint from my lab after relocating @CHOP_Research @ChildrensPhila Here we describe gene expression at the single cell level across major milestones of human and mouse development. preprint here: https://buff.ly/3PFWNoG

Have you ever wanted to *see* receptor activity in embryos? If so, our new preprint is for you! In it, we showcase a new live-cell biosensor for visualizing receptor tyrosine kinase activity in living embryos – pYtags! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
