More than half of the 1500 research grants that NSF has terminated in the past month under orders from President Donald Trump’s administration aimed to bring groups historically underrepresented in science into the mainstream. scim.ag/4jYhB8e
NSF’s grant cuts fall heaviest on scientists from underrepresented groups
Projects to broaden participation were cut disproportionately—and were often led by Black scientists, women, and those with disabilities

For the first time, researchers have used expiration dates—printed on plastic waste incorporated into coot nests—to figure out when these structures were built. scim.ag/41K59lW
Plastic waste in bird nests can act like a tiny time capsule
Expiration dates help biologists trace the building of some avian homes back in history—in one case to 1991

To honour Lone Gram’s significant contributions to microbial secondary metabolite research, DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomyces lonegramiae (DSM 41529) after her.
Fun Fact: Gram's great-grandfather developed the Gram stain 😉

Excited to join the @bsky.app Science community! I'm Doris, previous PhD in the lab of @gillesvanwezel.bsky.social and now a postdoc in the Raes Lab @KU Leuven. I love bacteria and the cool metabolites they produce 😍 I'm also a mom and I love to camp and play board games. Looking forward to connect!
