Matchstick quilting with a neutral thread color? What would you do? It’s 30”x30” and I think it will be my protest quilt on the taco’s birthday parade day. (The pattern comes out June 14, find GettingJazzyWithIt on Etsy to get the pattern!)

For those who don't know Randy Pausch, he was a computer scientist who gave "The Last Lecture" at CMU when he had terminal pancreatic cancer. Lots of inspiration and life lesson. Worth the time to give it a watch (whether or not you have done so in the past. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_...

Remember folks, the budget cuts for NSF and NIH can still be stopped. That is a luxury not granted to our agency science colleagues who have or could still lose their jobs from the top down. So - Fight! Speak up! Pay attention!

Meeting of the four #cryoET centers (funded by the NIH Common Fund), in beautiful Boulder! great exchange of ideas and totally nerding it out over all things cryoET. Great to hear from users from all across the country and their impressive science. #NIH at its best.

It blows my mind to think that I've been at @addgene.bsky.social for over 1.9 million of the 2 million plasmids shared. Very proud of this organization and what it's contributed to the scientific community (and what the community has contributed to Addgene!).

I have had the privilege to train many chinese students over many years. They enriched our lives and did great science. Many are still here and contribute to the US scientific enterprise. The push to revoke student visas is cruel and unnecessary. We must push back. www.npr.org/2025/05/28/g...

NIH funding supporting the HMMER and Infernal software projects has been terminated. NIH states that our work, as well as all other federally funded research at Harvard, is of no benefit to the US.

Looking at some water from an algal culture for fun and came across these bizarre creatures, does anyone know what they might be? This looks like it might be part of their development where they initially emerge within this hairy chamber then hatch as they grow (?) more pics to follow 🧫

cannot overstate how bad this will be for universities at every level, from the financial (intl students pay $$$), logistical (intl grad students teach many courses), productivity (they also do a bunch of research), to more nebulous but still imp things like making campus life vibrant + diverse

A propos of nothing, I find it pathetic that people with all the power and money in the world are still filled with misery, hatred, and (self) loathing, and then feel the need to broadcast how miserable and small they are in all caps. Q.e.d. that money doesnt buy happiness. or even contentment.
