Francis Collins encouraging scientists to not only reach out to their reps about the importance of their research, but to use personal stories - not just stats and graphs

Science communication and advocacy going to be a theme this week - glad I'm here! #ASHG25

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯

Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below.

This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.
My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate.

Scientists--Share your story! We need the nation to know what is at stake if the NIH is gutted. It's therapeutic and takes just a few minutes
Behind every cure, every breakthrough, every treatment — is someone who needed it.

If NIH funding helped you, your research, or someone you love, your story can help protect it.

Share your “why” and help defend the future of NIH & science.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

I’d like to see more about impacts on research institutes—Salk, Fred Hutch, Stowers, Allen Institute, Moffitt, etc.

Universities are huge and would be heavily hurt, but if the cuts to 15% for research facilities costs goes through, I don’t see how any research institutes can survive at all.

ATTENTION:

If you have received a NoA from NIH within the last 10 days, please let me know the grant number and award date.

I am trying to characterize the time lag between awards and NIH Reporter.
