Beautiful, layered argument for the use of model organisms, especially small ones, in research. A must read!

Honored that our piece was published in #TheScientist today. We wanted to use this opportunity to reflect on the devastating impact of frozen federal research grants, not just on science, but on the people behind the science and whose futures are at stake.
A poignant plea from @allard-lab-ucla.bsky.social: The attacks on science and research are multi-pronged and incessant. Yet it is difficult to understand why something as essential as health research has stopped receiving bipartisan support. bit.ly/3HPVWS1 🧪
Frozen Grants, Canceled Futures: The Human Toll of UCLA’s Research Suspension
A frozen grant is more than halted experiments and lost data; it is a career derailed for many of the trainees dependent on this research support.

🚨 New paper alert from our lab! Using model system and in vitro approaches, we demonstrate that PFAS, likely due to their physicochemical properties as surfactant, disrupt liquid-like condensates critical for reproduction. Link: academic.oup.com/toxsci/advan...

1/3 It's official, our grants from the NIH/NIEHS have all been suspended. We were aiming to understand how arsenic, a chemical that millions of Americans are exposed to at high levels, is disrupting the epigenetic machinery.

Can you believe that it is my first SSR conference despite having worked in reproductive biology since the late 90's??!! If you are attending the meeting, come and find me! And thank you to Martha Susiarjo and Blanche Capel for the invitation to speak!

We will be there too. Consider attending this Epigenetics workshop in Erice, Sicily! (see link below).
Amazing workshop on Epigenetics: from Molecules to Behavior in Erice Sicily, October 6-10. Very comprehensive overview of topics and a beautiful location, as part of the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Center for Scientific Culture. Hope to see you there! centromajorana.it/epigenetics2...

Check out Adam Filipowicz's poster (621A) on Sunday on the assessment of newer generation pesticides for neurodegeneration and Ivan Olaya's poster (250B) on Monday on the transgenerational meiotic impact of ethanol.
Conferences have felt different this year but looking forward to catching up with friends and colleagues and presenting some of our work at #Worm25.
