I don't understand how someone can read this and not think that the American biomedical research system is a modern miracle that should be protected at all costs

shouting into the void: my first first-author primary research paper (1/2 of my dissertation work) was accepted for publication this week! also I'm defending my PhD in 3ish weeks! here's hoping someone is still hiring postdocs out there *laughs nervously* 🫠👀 #sciencetwitter

on a serious note, I'd graciously take any and all leads! I'm interested broadly in proteostasis in neurodegenerative diseases (especially rare diseases!) with relevant experience in several model systems (C. elegans, mouse models, iPSC-derived cells) #academictwitter

Things are bad, folks. The schools in the headlines have bridge funding to dip into, but this assault on science is happening all over—& devastating public-institution researchers who have been balancing their budgets on a knife edge to make the most of scarce competitive funding

Weird that it's not mentioned at all in this piece the main reason for this is they began using lower quality materials, moved all production to east asia and now sell a worse product at a higher price. Buy Solovair if you want the proper boots.

The root of all this - the sassy Brands Are People Too genre of posting - is Denny’s Tumblr, which no one remembers now. I was at a conference in 2015 where a presenter was raving about how it was the future of social media, and deep down I knew she was right

An NIH staffer reacts to today's ruling: "I'm looking forward to the day that we are so slammed with work trying to reinstate everything that we had to terminate illegally — I'll work 24/7 to make that happen if I can." My story for nature nature.com/articles/d4158…

The NIH budget would INCREASE by $400m — not slashed by 40%, as Trump proposed — in a proposal by Senate appropriators, says Sen Murray. "Some have asked if there will even be an NIH by [2029]. The commmittee's resounding message is yes—Congress has your back", she says.
