📣 Job alert: we're looking for a scientific editor at @emboreports.org to provide a 12-month absence cover. Prior editorial experience is not required. For details and to apply: www.embo.org/vacancy/scie...

Agree, this one was a blast! Thank you @gtavosanis.bsky.social @hilliardlab.bsky.social Claudia Bagni, Nektarios Tabernarakis - and @embo.org - for such a fabulous gathering!!

Attention Vision Scientists. The Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA has a faculty position open at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. I'll be at #ARVO2025 so feel free to reach out via DM or email if I can answer any questions. recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF10092

Our lab's 1st paper, led by @fchrisbennett.bsky.social & @waisenberg.bsky.social. A decade thinking how to directly assess the impact of microglia replacement. Yrs of hard work. This kind of work is needed to expand brain disease care for kids & the vision for safer, more effective cell therapy.

The do’s and don’ts of scientific image editing Acceptable image-editing practices are partly a matter of common sense. But researchers say journals and funders could help scientists by standardizing policies. @sarareardon.bsky.social reports www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Love worms, molecular genetics, and big questions? We’re hiring a postdoc to build a CRISPRa toolkit to identify new aging mechanisms in C. elegans. Email or DM me to find out more. Please share & repost!

A breath of fresh air and energy - a tribe I love @klingensteinorg.bsky.social in the NYC I love! Blown away by the cool blue sky science, Day 1 of the Fellows meeting!!

Excited for this meeting ! Please share and pass the word

Excellent excellent excellent from Princeton president and constitutional/ political theorist Chris Eisgruber. There's been far too little of this kind of thing; here's hoping others follow his good example. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Science Matters. 🔬 For 80 years, science has been a north star for the U.S. In 1945, Vannevar Bush’s report Science, The Endless Frontier called for bold government investment in research transforming our health, economy, quality of life. Science is not zero-sum—it creates value and better lives.

Facing an uncertain financial future, many U.S. neuroscience Ph.D. programs are admitting fewer students. The Transmitter spoke with 20 programs about how the recent changes are affecting their admissions processes. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social @callimcflurry.bsky.social bit.ly/41ptnk1

Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.

In all this crazy, I wanted to focus today on things that bring me joy: the inspiring, amazing people I am grateful to call colleagues. Here with the awesome Marc Freeman on his recent @fredhutch.bsky.social visit, and the inimitable @harmitmalik.bsky.social (pc).

Postdoc or PhD working on C. elegans? Interested in applying C. elegans techniques to understand the astonishing world of epigenetics in parasitic nematodes? Apply to our Wellcome Trust funded postdoc position, joint between my lab in Oxford and Mark Viney's in Liverpool: tinyurl.com/5y6cpvcv

Today we’re celebrating Dr. Jon Cooper’s retirement and his 40 years in Basic Sciences @fredhutch.bsky.social. We’re grateful for his many contributions to science and his service to Fred Hutch and the division, including serving nine years as division director. Congrats Jon!

What do Americans need more: better treatments for cancer, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, infectious diseases and other major public health problems or a way to send Musk to Mars?

Thank you @nplb.bsky.social for speaking out in defense of patients, the US economy and our citizenship. Encouraged to see biopharma and investors among patients, health care providers, scientists and policy makers. www.nopatientleftbehind.org/defending-th...

I still don't think it's sunk in to many that after February 20th, there ain't no study sections.

“For the last 75 yrs, the NIH has been the biggest funder of biomedical research in the world. Most advances in medicine were seeded by NIH funding. When we became scientists, we just bought into this system. This is how it works. — @tuthill.bsky.social 🧵 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A freeze on meetings of expert panels that peer review grant proposals at the National Institutes of Health is kicking in this week. Follow Science’s coverage of President Donald Trump’s impact on U.S. research and science globally. ⬇️ scim.ag/40XtSSi

NIH support enables @fredhutch.bsky.social to translate research from our labs into care at patient bedsides and ensures we can continue to provide world-class therapies to 40,000+ patients each year. Thank you @repdelbene.bsky.social for championing federal biomedical research funding in Congress.

Apparently, the University of Washington School of Medicine has frozen all non-clinical hiring in response to the Trump/Musk administration attacks on science and science funding. Destroying healthcare to own the libs.
