NIH funded research benefits your community even if it doesn’t (yet!) directly benefit you. Each $ invested in NIH yields significantly higher return on investment (average 254%) than the same $ invested in “defense”.

The Senate may choose to vote together on the DHS and LHHS bills. Thus, a filibuster on DHS may mean no funding for NIH. What my colleagues are saying:

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Brianna Bribel's biology videos are amazing, you should follow her @bumblingbiochemist.bsky.social in 2026.
Since people are talking about resolutions, let’s talk about resolution! Resolution in protein (and other macromolecular) structures – a quick overview of what it is and why it matters

BCD, right on schedule. I don’t think we will regret sending our work to this fine journal. Great work @dblipka.bsky.social and @mphartmann.bsky.social … I didn’t have time to read the PDF but I’m assuming it evolved a bit during review? It was exciting even before😁

Mapping long reads to pangenome graphs is ~10x faster than with GraphAligner, with veeery slightly better mapping accuracy, short variant calling, and SV genotyping than GraphAligner or Minimap2
