A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

Doubling #ERC funding is the kind of ambition that the #EU needs to lead in the world of research. @erc.europa.eu @rcsi.bsky.social

While the US trashes public research, the ERC proposes to double its budget. That would be huge and an excellent opportunity for scientists in the US to come to democratic 🇪🇺

When you read about layoffs and terminations of HHS, NIH, CDC employees - remember: these are people, with families, plans, who worked for the health, safety, well-being of the American people. Now they are thrown by the wayside, by those who never cared about anything but themselves.

It’s been just over a month since the last pic below, and while I haven’t made it out every day, I have been out most days for a run, cycle or walk. Pretty muddy here in the Boyne Valley. #running

The 3 hardest things to learn as a scientist: 1. Trust the data, even when it’s not what you expected, 2. Trust the data, allowing it to change your direction, 3. Trust the data, but not too much: test with new data at every turn.

Interesting article about the misrepresentation of genetic science by the right - 'good' and bad genes', 'survival of the fittest' - terms repurposed by the right to cause division and to exclude people seen as inferior. Scientists & doctors have a responsibility to better explain. #MedSky #SciSky
