It's out! Beautiful work led by Loreto Oyarte Gálvez & @cbisot.bsky.social! Do you want to learn more about how Mycorrhizal fungi extraordinary networks form and function? Read the open-access publication! Link below 👇

It’s official! Stand Up for Science with us on the east steps of the Colorado State Capitol building in Denver, CO! @standupforscience.bsky.social

*Tenured full Professorship in Genetics and Molecular Cell Biology* at the University Of Cologne, Germany It's an opportunity to rebuild the place that used to be home to luminaries including Benno Müller-Hill, Max Delbruck, Campos-Ortega, Diethard Tautz Maria Leptin, Thomas Langer

Sequencing by Expansion (SBX) -- a novel, high-throughput single-molecule sequencing technology https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.19.639056v1

In a brief respite from current events, I got to see a California Condor for the first time while running in the Grand Canyon this weekend! What an amazing animal. Unfortunately, public lands and those who protect them are also targets of this admin. Keeping fighting…

Friends: Science is under threat! Worldwide, forces seek to make it corporate-like, focused on deliverables, or even the enemy of society. It's time to take a stand to celebrate the science we know and love. Introducing: Woodstock.Bio2 + Night Science June 10-13, Prague & Woods of Bohemia Join us!

If you’re a constituent of David Valadao, Ken Calvert, or Young Kim you have more power to fight for Medicaid by making a phone call than 99% of Californians. Call tonight, then call again tomorrow before 4PM

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...

Deep and thoughtful reporting on the crises of the NIH funding and review blocks. Share locally, share widely. And make sure your reps know! www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Photos from the rally last week to support science, protest firings at NIH, NSF & budget cuts for research. Careers of people who’ve worked hard for science & public service have been lost. There were many young people, including PhD students from my lab, who’re anxious about what the future holds.🧪

New York Times article now up on Federal Register stuff. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/s... 1/n

Please help get the word out to our friends who were working in the Federal Government: Some friends & I created this site to track the impacts of the Trump Admin's attack on the federal service, and we're trying to gather as many stories as possible. trumpcostsamerica.com

I hope that everyone in the private sector who depends on federal grants to train their researchers and staff, pay for their services and products, or benefits in any other way from federal funding will come out to #standupforscience!

Dr. King said of all the inequalities, inequality in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane. The proposal by MAGA extremists to cut YOUR Medicaid to give the wealthiest Americans a tax cut is inhumane. Light up those phone lines! (202) 224-3121 #DontCutMyMedicaid

This is going to go on at many universities - the uncertainty will lead to fewer graduate programs. It will hobble scientific research which appears to be the goal.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

🚨 Amazing Opportunity 🚨 U Alberta is looking for a director for their new #cryoEM facility Support excellent researchers (who are really nice people) using state-of-the-art infrastructure. + reasonable cost of living + near some of most beautiful places in world + 🇨🇦 apps.ualberta.ca/careers/post...

We are excited to announce a new faculty position here in Cambridge, for researchers in computational and/or theoretical biology, based jointly in Genetics and Mathematics. Come and join us! Happy to answer questions about research, teaching and working here. www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50414/

The latest publication from our lab is online in @narjournal.bsky.social . Congratulations to @marcelwerner.bsky.social and Manuel Trauner for developing a novel system in mammalian cells to study Transcription-Replication conflicts and pointing DOT1L as a transcription mediator at TRC sites!

#StandUpforScience2025 in the Boston Globe! 🌎 www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/20/m...

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

We all owe @jeremymberg.bsky.social a debt of gratitude for his work in clarifying, connecting, and advocating for science in this chaotic time. 🙏🏼

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay. They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence! Mustard on the [Be][At] bro. Happy Black History Month!

Our new review on how the #chromatin domain is formed in the cell is now available @Curr Opin Struct Biol.📄✨ We critically discuss the domain formation mechanism from a physical perspective, including #phase-separation and #condensation. 📥 Free-download link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1keGn,LqAr...

Trump's DOJ has erased a report from its website that lays out its own recommendations for tackling violence against Indigenous women www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

AACR urges Congress to reaffirm its long history of steadfast and bipartisan support for medical research by ensuring that NIH has all of the resources needed to advance its lifesaving mission to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer and other diseases: AACR.org/NIH

Hey scientists. This rules. Check it out.

It took 11 DAYS for A SINGLE NIH employee to leak this missive to the press? dear god. it has been clear that the register has been frozen since Inauguration Day. this is somehow the first news report on the impoundment of NIH funding by unclear officials from HHS.

#Lansing #Michigan braving the cold to #Protest #NoKings

there are protests planned at state capitols, city halls, and other civic spaces all over the country tomorrow: www.commondreams.org/news/anti-tr...

Stand with science. Always.

Don't know how this one slipped by me, but very nice study using our 'frankenbody' scaffolds to improve live-cell functionality of anti-RNA intrabodies: Synthetic anti-RNA antibody derivatives for RNA visualization in mammalian cells academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Very proud to be a member of this team. A huge group effort to improve the lives of those with Down syndrome. Thank you to everyone that has helped us along the way.

Senator Tillis isn't answering the phone in DC, Raleigh or Greensboro. Keep calling and leaving messages about science funding--we're going to give his people so much to do, they won't know what to do with us.

This is amazing work, I have no words!! This is inspiring and this is the goal !!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Come and joint us at @mrclmb.bsky.social ! We have an opening for a new group leader in the Structural Studies Division. We are very interactive and collaborative with amazing facilities and generous core funding. Get in touch with myself or @sjorsscheres.bsky.social if you have any questions.

Hi Bluesky, just in time for the holidays I am excited to share the latest pre-print from my group! We solved the 3D structure of a mysterious viral RNA that resists degradation by host nucleases. A short 🧵 &link below – please also check out the full video! #RNA #RNAbiology #RNASky #lovevirology
