🚨Apparently GeneReviews is now being told to "prove their value" by the end of the week to the US government. They need letters of support sent to the Univ. of Washington editors: [email protected].🚨 @geneticssociety.bsky.social -- are you aware and mobilizing your membership? #genechat

Best thread about grammar and vocabu-bleeping-lary you're gonna read today!

Genetics nerd and writer humor!🤓

At Austin's #standupforscience2025 and loving the energy! Remember -- "Defunding science is government inefficiency."

Paging all #GeneChat colleagues - we are having another mutual support call on the 14th, 1pm PST/4pm EST - please DM me or @kategenetics.bsky.social or @naomi-cgc.bsky.social for the link - please join us if you need to receive or would like to give support :)

We need to organize--let’s help each other. NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond. I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations. Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!

What a difference 24 hours makes. This update did not age well. Hopefully the fed funds freeze thaws so we can enjoy the things Congress already approved!

Called my senators and US Rep today about the wildly bad stop in HHS communications and meetings. Call or email your reps to let them know to resume operations. It's important to our national success and security.

Started off this morning emailing my Senators and Congressman about the NIH and the potential damage being done by unnecessary disruptions. They need to hear from us loud and clear. Constituents matter to them as one of the primary purposes of a politician is to get re-elected (and its their job).

👋Hi all -- I'm Kyle and a genetic counselor (finally) making the jump from The Social that Shall Not Be Named to this social. Looking forward to engaging in an interesting, fun, and vibrant genetics and genomics community again! Thanks for mentioning it @j9austin.bsky.social! #genechat #genetics
