I think the biggest lie being told right now is that one of the wealthiest countries in the world cannot afford to invest in science, education, and the environment.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Get by with a little help from my friends (esp @rohanbme.bsky.social) 💕💕

Happy International Day of Women in Science. The National Science Foundation’s list of flagged words includes both “Women” and “Female.”

Timeline cleanse with #sourdough

If you are a NIH funded researcher and your state is not on this list, you need to be calling your AG office

BREAKING: 22 states sue NIH over Trump administration's new 15% cap on overhead for federal research grants. Suit filed federal court in Boston contends lifesaving research 'will grind to a halt' under the policy. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For #zebrafish people - we have a joint @ZDMSociety @InfoIzfs webinar focused on single-cell tech coming up on February 20th. Featuring Yinan Wan, Jialin Liu and Loic Royer. Register here: www.izfs.org/education/we...

Press release by the appropriations subcommittee on NIH budget slashing by @delauro.house.gov 🙏

Reducing the indirect rate on NIH grants to 15% will kill biomedical and health research in the US. I'm not exaggerating here. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Getting ready for an exciting discussion section in the UCSF #BioReg grad course! Classic paper Coté 1994 on swi/snf facilitating GAL4 binding to nucleosomal DNA.

so here's what we should all be like. a cat. cats dont obey. they knock stuff off the table.

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

Being an early career scientist right now, is very scary and confusing... the unknowns are unimaginable. Your friends and colleagues don't know if they will have any funds, if their visas will be renewed. Tenured folks-please help, we need you to be loud, many of us just can't afford to be.

The Society for Developmental Biology has released a statement on the Unprecedented Disruptions to Biomedical Research in the United States.

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

The taxpayers, through Federal NIH funding, have literally invested tens of millions of dollars in my education & career. This is a privledge, & I have always endevored to give my best back to the taxpayers who put me here I am just one of many thousands of scientists who can tell the same story

Nothing prepares you for the transition from shots of liquor to shots of dog bone broth to dissolve your senior dog’s meds #DogsOfBluesky

#SourdoughSunday

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

A little timeline cleanse 💕

I don’t know about you, but I could really be using an @chrstne.bsky.social circles only rant right about now 🙀🙀🙀🙀

Not half bad for the first sourdough loaf!

So proud of my wonderful friend, @jjalston.bsky.social 🥳🥳🎉🎉

Thrilled to share the results in Cancer Cell of years of hard work to develop classifiers for all major TCGA cancer subtypes, enabling assessment of differential drug response among cancer subtypes in clinical trials. www.cell.com/cancer-cell/...

Sunday afternoon perfection 💕

Forever grateful to Pam for giving me my first lab job and being such a kind mentor through my undergrad and MS time in @nucleosomepolice.bsky.social lab 💕🎉

@nytimes.com Connections…. What is this nonsense.

PhD goals — imprint a great beer on your advisor so he texts you yearly (even 3+ years after leaving the lab) to say he’s had it. 🎉

My mom is a cancer survivor. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and went through surgery 3 years ago. She is a strong woman and an amazing cook. I am grateful that she is still with us. #Thanksgiving #BeGrateful

Yogurt drug cocktail (Thanksgiving Version). Extra thankful for this senior pup — 14 years young. 💕

Just made my first sourdough starter. Send vibes my way pls. #sourdoughmother #bread
