For decades, government funding “has positioned the United States as a global leader” in science, says scientist Tom Maniatis of @zuckermanbrain.bsky.social and the New York Genome Center. He highlights how a new #NIH policy cutting money for research “jeopardizes” this, in Cell tinyurl.com/ubw6uphe

1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬 But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯 Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A short thread 🧵👇

Attempting to describe the current American political situation is a grimly laughable mindfck because it triggers all the mental alarm bells that are meant to help you avoid sounding “unhinged” or “dramatic” in polite conversation when really we’re just in an objectively insane situation

Personally, I would argue that something that feels nothing looking at something that means nothing tells us not much of use. Unless this is a meta joke about constructing insights from randomness? In which case, fair play

I see some suggestions, in the reporting regarding the OMB impoundment order, that a mere delay in spending appropriated funds is legal. But that's not really true. The delay OMB has ordered specifically contradicts the Impoundment Control Act. A thread.

"Aye, the sirens," says the lighthouse keeper, picking a bit of tobacco from his beard. "Some nights, when the wind is just so, I swear I can hear 'em singing." "What do they sing?" I prod him. A faraway look in his eyes, he says in a voice barely above a whisper, "Tubthumping."

What is the multiscale structure of chromatin condensates? How does it shape thermodynamic and material properties? We address this at near-atomistic resolution🔥🔥🔥 using cryoET (Rosen & Villa labs, led by H Zhou), a new multiscale model (K Russell) and cryoET-guided sims (J Huertas & J Maristany)

Study sections are the review panels that allocate NIH research grants. They bring in experts from around the country and have to be scheduled many months in advance; they provide the funds that keep the nation's biomedical research going. It's hard to overstate the disruption this causes.
