Been listening to the @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social Ezra Klein Show, and wowed by this episode that quotes my friend @johndoench.bsky.social about NIH progress reports! If my PO follows me, yes I'm working on my RPPR now! Just hope I can still get my Non-competing funding, please please🙏?

@lucksmith.bsky.social will enjoy this HA-Tag. Hemagglutinin HA? or Funny HA?

Hopefully this will backfire and stop future institutions from caving. The admin has now shown (as anyone with half a brain already knew) that appeasement won't save you.

Also great to see Faculty peers here at @standupforscience.bsky.social BOSTON! Bill Theurkauf @rti-umasschan.bsky.social and @remlehmann.bsky.social Mitch McVey, Norbert Perrimon, Welcome Bender are here, Standing up for NIH funded Drosophila Research!

The Attack on Science in the USA is so bad right now, this moderate independent was compelled to protest at @standupforscience.bsky.social BOSTON! Good turnout with my colleagues from @bostonu.bsky.social !

Wondering if your study section cancelled? I update this sheet daily. As of today, 56/124 study sections that should have met since Jan 2, 2025 have "not met as scheduled." docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Will be there! Hope to see a crowd size that trumps Trump's @standupforscience.bsky.social

So sorry to learn of Scott Hawley's passing. I only had email communications with Scott and received some of his fly strains, but I was touched by his grace. When I wrote him about a sequencing error, he thanked me for reaching out instead of dismissing me as an inexperienced junior PI. RIP.

Thanks @baym.lol for giving a great seminar at the BU Genome Science Institute! Hope you liked the tapas! Plasmid ecology is wild!

Pairs well with my startup of point-of-meal sequence verification of soups and sauces: Nanoporridge Technologies.

Hey now, Icon! @lucksmith.bsky.social

Happy Birthday Chester!

I hope Bluesky is a fun place to talk Science and share goofy posts too.
