First: I apologize for never coming here and now doing so only to brag 😬 Second: I am very proud of the people in our lab. We are a small group in a Bio department and this work took an enormous amount of effort from every one here. rdcu.be/eaxEz

This is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction. We all need to speak out to save lives.

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...

This will kill science in the US. This is how China wins. Why is this not on the news? Why are people not more upset about this? grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

The NSF is the US engine of basic science discovery and technology innovation. This decision is a gift to our overseas competitors.

Leading in STEM used to be such a point of pride in American patriotism. We were proud to be the first on the moon, to the atom bomb. When did that change? We want cures for diseases like AIDS, obesity, cancer, Alzheimer's and we want to get there first. Why can't we tap into that?

Fun to see it out in print! I was really lucky to have an amazing team to work with on this. If this sort of work seems interesting to you or someone you know, please feel free to reach out (planning to staff a lab later this year). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hi! Thought I'd mosey on down to bsky as well with the rest of the science peeps! I love combining old-school biochemistry with all the 'omics' to discover new things about organelle function and cellular metabolism in health and disease.
