I've been an actin biologist for over a decade, but the microtubules in these DIV8 cortical neurons have me mesmerized 😍

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.
