1/6 🧵 I am beyond excited to share the latest work from @williamsrepro.bsky.social! This story began during the pandemic as we sought to understand how a brief insult during the peri-fertilization window can escalate into a metabolic outcome in adulthood—as seen in IVF-conceived children.
Calcium signals shape metabolic control of H3K27ac and H3K18la to regulate EGA
The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has enabled the birth of over 9 million babies; but it is associated with increased risks of negative metabolic outcomes in offspring. Yet, the unde...

The Society for Developmental Biology has released a statement on the Unprecedented Disruptions to Biomedical Research in the United States.
Scientific research is a driving force behind human progress. It fuels medical breakthroughs, spurs technological innovations and drives economic growth. Federal funding of research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) is absolutely critical for ensuring that the U.S. maintains its global leadership in science and technology. The unprecedented freeze on the review and issuance of federal research grants is already negatively impacting research and could have significant ripple effects. Ongoing studies may lose momentum if grant renewals or supplement requests are delayed, slowing scientific progress on research the NIH has already invested in. Researchers affiliated with the Society for Developmental Biology carry out critical research on birth defects, which kill twice as many children as cancer does. Slowed progress will delay the development of new therapies and diagnostics, and thus have real public health implications. In 2019, the total estimated cost of birth defect–associated hospitalizations was $22.2 billion. Scientific research is also critical to the U.S. economy more broadly. In 2023 alone NIH funded research not only directly supported 412 thousand jobs, but its overall economic impact rippled out to all sectors of the economy driving more than $92.89 billion in economic activity across all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. It is estimated that every dollar of NIH funding generates $2.46 dollars of economic activity. Finally, federal research funding not only drives impactful research discoveries but also supports the training of the scientists, engineers, and innovators of the future. University laboratories, funded by federal grants, serve as essential training grounds for the next generation of researchers even as they push the boundaries of knowledge. This training prepares young scientists for leadership roles in both academia and industry, helping to ensure that the scientific workforce r…

The 2025 season of MATEbolism Journal Club is now on! Over the last year, with @virginiasavy.bsky.social, we’ve explored how metabolism controls cell fate and epigenetics—while we metabolize cakes and snacks. Science fueled by sugar is back!! #Metabolism #Epigenetics #DevBio
