More great work from the Fisher-Wellman group; Department of Cancer Biology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

Any day a new #undergraduate student starts their summer #research experience with knowing how to do the calculations to make buffers and other reagents is a great day!

Help me convince a faculty colleague they shouldn't attend a conference "organized@ by Innovinc International. I know they are #predatory, but help me convince my colleague. #predatoryjournals #InnovincInternational

What about citizens who just might want to leave? DHS to pay $1,000 to undocumented immigrants who self-deport

Hot take: Nothing says Cinco de Mayo more than a homemade crunch wrap supreme- a la Taco Bell.

#DinsDay is the day to support the #FurmanAdvantage. If you can, please do.

He lied He is lying He will lie That is his truth

grants.nih.gov/grants/guide... In a string of disappointing days, the impact of this may have topped them (so far). I'm not sure which one emoji properly conveys this feeling.

Someone explain why he continues to be employed.

The #FurmanAdvantage! Daughter and her besties each won awards in their major today. She won the Faculty Award for Service and Excellence for Art majors at Furman. We also got to see her senior project paintings. Science illustration career, loading.

(Continue to) Live your life with a purpose that would make the current administration consider EOs against your purpose.

I'm considering implementing a Hawaiian 🌺 shirt Friday "policy". Anything to lighten the mood. Will have to see what kind of participation I get and report back. Anyone else out there want to participate?

Celebrate Research! kicks off. William Kaelin, Nobel laureate kicks off the month of highlighting why science should not be attacked, curtailed, or have funding reduced. Great science will be on display at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. 🐪🏙️🦀🧬

I remember the days when POTUS could be trusted to not support Russia and vote with them in the UN.

Please urge ALL early career scientists to contact their senators and congressperson!! IT IS NOT JUST IMPORTANT, IT IS VITAL!

Scheduled to be in a study section tomorrow (virtual). Holding breath to see if it actually happens.

I was able to speak to a live office person for Congressman McDowell (R dist 6, NC) to advocate for full NIH funding and no IDC cuts.

The voice mail box for Sen. Budd (R, NC) is full. I hope that means every scientists and grad student in NC has called to leave messages about IDC cuts and the slow down (halt?) of NIH funding.

I served my family omelettes for dinner. Please don't judge me.

Vanderbilt, Pitt, USC,.......it's a short list only for now.

Me asleep: It appears that @theonion.com has taken over the official DHS LinkedIn page. Me awake: no, it's a new alt reality.

If one can put other things aside, there are multiple electric vehicles that are just better than Tesla. Better fit and finish, better appointments, none of the guilt.

Louder! For the people in the back.

This is good news! Hopefully this stays true.

Thanks to the @aamctoday.bsky.social and other societies for working decisively to get the #NIH funded cuts halted. This is an important step for the future of #biomedicalresearch. We must keep using our voices, and not our inside ones. #research #cancerresearch #clinicalresearch #clinicaltrials

Happy to see the paper straw debate put to the side, finally. Now the administration can focus on breaking effing democracy. What a 🤡 show!

At least I have 6 squares for the #SuperBowl this weekend? That will cover #IndirectCosts if I win, right? #NIH #kneecapped #budgetcuts

Today, February 4th, #WorldCancerDay. Through the noise that is the current government, we must remember the #patients and their families. #CancerResearch, #clinicaltrials, and #cancercare should be at the forefront. #CancerBiology #UnitedByUnique 🐪🏙️🦀🧬

The #NIH is an economic driver in addition to its role in biomedical research. National security is also at risk if the NIH is broken.

It is important for everyone, not just scientist to know this. #nih #funding #science #research
