Seems like a good day for a "Remember your scientific heroes" thread. Today I'm thinking about Richard Lerner, because I'm reading this bonkers new Cell paper. Like any self-respecting Cell paper, this one is chock full of the latest/greatest tech, even Fig 1 is nuts www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

In my latest article for @science.org, I reflect on the current challenges faced by early-career researchers, including delays in grant reviews, uncertainty around NIH funding freezes and changes, and the critical need for continued support and advocacy. www.science.org/content/arti...

I have been trying to find the time to move away from the polical hellscape we find ourselves in to finish and share a bluetorial about science. This helps me remember what this is all about. Ironically, it is about the treatment of pain.

Guys, Nate Brought has joined @coachdomin8.bsky.social. In case you missed it, he was the NIH Director that resigned with a bang on LinkedIn yesterday. I think he has a lot to say about what was/is going on @jeremymberg.bsky.social @drugmonkey.bsky.social @docbecca.bsky.social @azfaust.bsky.social

A 🧵 for 🧪 trainees: This is a challenging time for scientists. Many of our federal colleagues have been dismissed, grant funding is in limbo, and morale may be poor. Some of you may be questioning how your career will be affected by the upheaval our community has experienced. Don't give up. 1/5

Resilience: " the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness." As scientists, we constantly face failures with funding, publications, science, experiments, etc. And to top that, personal trials &times like these challenge our resilience& yet-we persevere. Hang in there💙

Every press release about basic research advances should end with something like “…under current administration cost-reduction proposals, NIH funded ground-breaking research like this would not be possible.”
