And now not just the program site, but also the notice of funding (formerly PAR-24-225) is gone

Also on SciinAct we bend over backwards to put the voice of scientists forefront, get their stories in their words. This week, besides grandees, we had two typical researchers relate the impact of 47's decisions on their careers Dr. Chrystal Ama Starbird PDB Depositer Jon Kuntz, PhD 🦈 bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

1. A viable scientific ecosystem provides a variety of environments for scientists to thrive. Some need to be left alone & work in small groups, some like big multidisciplinary consortia, some build a body of work slowly & incrementally over years, others seek a few big findings

This hallway at the NIH used to have posters of women and POC scientists but they just got taken down. But somehow this MLK poster made the cut.

hell of a time to be a postdoc

everything is a disaster but at least the real housewives of potomac season finale delivered

Relieved that the MOSAIC K99/R00 grants.gov page is back up with a new expiration date (updated today). Also hearing that people are actually able to put into applications again

A group of researchers funded by the now-terminated MOSAIC K99/R00 program had a chance to share our stories and the consequences this will have for a generation of early career scientists npr.org/sections/shots…

The Trump administration defunded the National Institutes of Health’s MOSAIC grant program, which launched the careers of scientists from diverse backgrounds. Brett Kelman reports: kffhealthnews.org/news/article/n…

So encouraged to see ASCB join with ASBMB, FASEB, and ASM (all MOSAIC partner societies) to file an amicus brief in support of a lawsuit filed last month against (illegal, reckless, discriminatory) grant terminations
