Making new enclosures for foxes at the Juniper Wildlife Sauntuary with Florida State University BBB honor #biology students, along with painting, laying brick, and preparing fresh animal feed - nice job everyone @jfadlab.bsky.social

Really nice piece to explain the power & long-term impact of basic science research to the public and young biology/ medical/engineering students -

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Kudos to the new Dr. Qi, who successfully defended her dissertation! Talented skills built across two #FSU Chemosensory Laboratories - TY to FSU Arts&Sciences Dean's Chemosensory Scholarship & NIH_NIDCD for support - excited to see next career stage!

The #SCIMaP team announces a major update: an analysis of the economic impacts of the White House's NIH FY26 budget.

Bottom-line, we estimate $46B in total economic loss, 202K lost jobs, and impacts in communities nationwide.

a 🧵

The proposed 45% cut to the NIH by the current administration will preclude new awards, and even terminate (more) existing awards.

This means a catastrophic decline in the development of new treatments for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and infectious diseases

How is that good for the US?

Memorial day fun #Arches, #Canyonlands, & #BLM in southern Utah - 10 hikes in 3 days! w/ @jfadlab.bsky.social

Lovely time with discoveries in the lab and on the hills - sabbatical times w @jfadlab.bsky.social & M Wachowiak University Utah #olfactory

Really nice synopsis to share with your family or non- science friends so they can understand the state of science in the US.
