Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper! We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media. Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑 doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

Introducing #SURFsnapshots, a collection of photos of our summer undergraduate research fellows. Check back in early fall for information about applying to be part of the SURF cohort for 2026! #chemistry #computerscience #ccas #nsf #summerresearch #undergraduateresearch

Only 2 weeks left to participate in this survey about sci comm & outreach during chem grad school! Scan QR code in the flyer or go to umn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... to tell us about your experience

A federal judge in California wants NSF to explain why its decision to freeze 300 grants to scientists at UCLA isn’t a violation of her earlier ruling in another case that such blanket grant terminations are probably illegal. scim.ag/4fnlgei

Excited to share a new survey being conducted by CSN graduate student @abbypigeon.bsky.social looking at how participating in science communication and outreach during graduate school affects post-graduate outlooks: umn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Breaking news: A Senate spending panel today offered a glimmer of hope to the more than 1600 scientists who had their grants terminated earlier this year by the National Science Foundation. scim.ag/46ctgwj

A motivating quote from @carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social: “…You are discovering knowledge and gifting that to humanity for all of posterity. Once you learn something no one can take that away. It is not an object. It is an intellectual currency that will be shared throughout the generations…”

Each week the RSC-CNN committee selects a great new nanoscience paper — this week highlighting deep learning for particle tracking. Authors developed Colloidoscope: a robust tool that improves tracking in dense colloidal suspensions, even under low-contrast, photobleached imaging conditions.

This month we highlight a score of Black astronomers trying to pursue their ambitions without fear, and Black In Astro, an organization supporting predominantly early-career Black people working in the space sciences. Editorial: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #BlackSpaceWeek #EquityInSTEM 🔭

Great writeup from @ucriverside.bsky.social about our recent Nature: Nanotechnology paper on nano-plant interactions: news.ucr.edu/articles/202... #chemsky

Good article on the importance of basic science and how it benefits society www.americanscientist.org/article/%E2%...

Three of the 36 signatories are senior investigators in the CSN! Example of important advocacy work that is part of serving as dept chairs/heads, which these scientists take on along with their research & mentoring responsibilities.

Correlation confounded with causation fuels an assumption of incompetence when professionals do not meet expectations about 'what a professional looks like'. Question: What does an observation of low representation tell us about the cause? Answer: Nothing. youtu.be/HX0R302lBMk?...

Great to collaborate with the Giraldo Lab and our CSN (@sustainablenano.bsky.social) team!

"Wisconsin has joined a coalition...in filing a lawsuit to stop the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) attempt under the Trump Administration to gut funding for critical scientific research and education at universities in Wisconsin and across the nation." www.wispolitics.com/2025/dept-of...

FYI for non-science folks, it is really impressive (and difficult!) to get published in a Nature journal like @natnano.nature.com. And guess what made this possible? 10+ years of funding from the National Science Foundation to build the interdisciplinary scientific groundwork & collaborations.

New paper just out by a great team of CSN collaborators! Plant biology, computational chemistry, synthetic chemistry, & analytical chemistry all working together to advance our understanding of nanoparticle-plant interactions - very important for advances in sustainable agriculture!

New blog post! "Can nanoplastics breach the blood brain barrier?" sustainable-nano.com/2025/05/27/c... #chemsky #nano

If you’re a scientist with even a little bit of experience talking about your science to the public, I’d encourage you to sign up to do one of these. I can help. 🧪🌎🦑

JUST IN: International students make up more than a quarter of Harvard University's student body. Harvard says the government's actions, which could cut off a major revenue stream, are "unlawful."

How do science interpreters, such as animators and museum designers, translate complex scientific research into something visually tangible—like a 40-foot dinosaur skeleton or a 3D animation of cellular machinery too small to be seen? www.sciencefriday.com/articles/sci...

WATCH: U.S. Representatives will speak during a special hour dedicated to the National Science Foundation and recent attempts to dismantle the agency. Tune into CSPAN to watch it live today at 4:45 p.m. ET www.c-span.org//

As the National Science Foundation is facing existential threats on its 75th birthday (founded May 10, 1950), we want to help highlight some of the positive ways NSF has impacted us! Check out thank you notes from members of the Centers for Chemical Innovation at nsfcci.org/nsf75

Reintroduction time! I'm Krystal, a science policy reporter at @cenmag.bsky.social. These days, I mostly report on the chaos happening at the NSF, but I also write about STEM education and equity issues within science. Any tips? Reach me on Signal at kvasquez.12 or via email at [email protected]

Dr. Katalin Karikó spent decades experimenting with mRNA. She was scoffed at, demoted, and eventually forced to retire. Then, she won the Nobel Prize. Listen to her story in the first episode of “The Leap,” produced with the @hypothesisfund.bsky.social. pod.link/73329284/epi...

The Deaf Scientists Pipeline in Rochester, NY offers support for students and researchers from high school to postdoctoral levels. Now, due to NIH funding cuts, this one-of-a-kind initiative has been dismantled. My recent story for @science.org

It was a privilege to help tell the stories of U.S. scientists whose lives have been upended during the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s administration in this recent piece for @science.org

Thanks to @whysharksmatter.bsky.social for a wonderful webinar today on science communication and writing for op-eds and policy briefs. We learned a ton!
