OMG @samuelhbecker.bsky.social is in the sky! Welcome!

Join the #VosshallLab as a postdoctoral scientist. Fully funded, right here in New York City @rockefelleruniv.bsky.social hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

A little too soon (re our NYC rat problem) but thanks @joeyzacks.bsky.social for sending that!

Savage but accurate. John Oliver will hopefully get the message to people that science and health societies can't.

Congratulations to all of the new National Academy of Sciences members!! Special shout out to @ejohnwherry.bsky.social and Eric Skaar!!! So well deserved!

The #GRCMyco2025 group photo is now in everyone's mygrc folder! It was VERY sunny....

I miss the community of scientists I was able to build on the old twitter. Y’all opened up my eyes to so many cool things. I want to re-engage! Yet, I’m wary of social media and probably will be more guarded about my views. A lot of vindictive people out there with too much power on their hands.

The Coers lab is now on bsky.

Big thanks to you @heran.bsky.social ! Tremendous meeting, great to connect with everyone at #GRCMyco2025 and discuss basic mycobacteriology. Looking forward to 2027 to be organized by me along with @siegristpalmore.bsky.social and Babak Javid who is still on that other platform.

And that's a wrap! I couldn't be happier with #GRCMyco2025! Amazing talks and discussions and wonderful venue and new friends! Big thanks to @michaelglickman.bsky.social for making it happen!

Thank you for contributing to its awesome success!!

Two ERC-funded postdoc positions available in the team - one here and second to follow - please repost! jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastl...

Some last minute changes to the program. I hope everyone manages to get to Pomona safely next week! Can't wait to see everyone during these challenging times! #GRCMyco2025 www.grc.org/biology-of-m...

As a Liverpool and Men in Blazers fan @durkdarwin.bsky.social should listen, too! #EverythingIsTuberculosis is a must read, not just for us #TB researchers!

The White House is proposing to cut health research leading to the loss of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Here's how your community will be impacted: scienceimpacts.org 🙏 @joshuasweitz.bsky.social

This man is Dr Francis Collins, former head of NIH, devout Christian and facts-based scientist. I miss the good ol' days.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/s... This article is not even on the first page - let’s try to give the @standupforscience.bsky.social rallies some visibility!

Will it make a difference? No idea but it felt good to be among the 1000s of amazing scientists who showed up to #StandUpforScience DC! @sarahstan.bsky.social @siegristpalmore.bsky.social @itaiyanai.bsky.social

Early reports to WHO from the 30 highest #tuberculosis (TB)-burden countries confirm that funding cuts from foreign aid, particularly from USAID, are already dismantling essential TB services. Without urgent action, these setbacks will reverse decades of progress to #EndTB 🔗 bit.ly/4kvsu2i

RFK JR on Measles Outbreaks just now: "It is not unusual. There are measles outbreaks every year." It is actually very unusual. This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.
