Check out LUNA by my colleague @mariabrbic—a generative AI model that reassembles tissues from dissociated cells! 🚀🔬 A potential game-changer for single-cell & spatial transcriptomic, IMHO!

Thrilled to share LUNA🌕 – our new generative AI model that reassembles tissue structures from dissociated cells! LUNA learns spatial priors over existing spatially resolved datasets with the aim to predict cell locations de novo. Check out our paper here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Glad to see the grinding halt of NIH grant review and funding decisions covered in the @bostonglobe.com but why are we framing this as “mysterious” or question whether it was intentional??? FFS people. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/22/m...

If you think this work is cool, do note that it was done by graduate students, PDs and staff in academic labs funded by federal tax payer dollars. Which means if no federal funding, a lot less of this kind of research. Use your voice to protect federally funded research which is under attack.

"These kinds of shocks are going to lead to a mass exodus … for minorities in particular.” For my latest @science.org story, I spoke with early career researchers who have been affected by the federal upheaval and are concerned about what it means for their future. www.science.org/content/arti...

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this: Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where everyone cared about their job and serving others.

The NIH's greatest strength has always been its people... which is why it hurts so much to see so many cast aside. I did both my PhD and fellowship here, and l've seen how passion for discovery leads to breakthroughs and lives saved. #IDSky #Science

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!
