Proposed cut to NSF Biology budget is 70%.

70%. Seventy.

Call your senators & reps nonstop. Give them numbers on NSF impact for state/district. tableau.external.nsf.gov/views/NSFbyN... explain this will decimate the economy if their districts, especially if it has a major research univ. 🧪

How bad will it be? Catastrophic.

Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.

But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget.

Speak up now before it is too late.

I just signed up. Thank you so much.

NIH moved up the expiration date for some funding opportunities, effectively *canceling* the next application date without removing it from the standard table. I can't even imagine how many people are still prepping these grants.

🔍 Why does this matter?
Most psychiatric GWAS are still Euro-centric, limiting the relevance of genetic findings across populations and ancestries. Latin America’s rich genetic, environmental, and cultural diversity presents a unique opportunity to refine genetic discovery & improve global research

In this review, we:
🌎 Examine the current state of psychiatric genetic studies in the region
💰 Highlight key challenges in data generation, analysis, & funding
🧬 Showcase emerging opportunities for more representative genomic research
🤝 Call for greater collaboration & investment

📃 I am excited to share our @naturegenet.bsky.social review paper on the state of psychiatric genetics in Latin America, put forth by the Latin American Genomics Consortium (LAGC)! 🎉

👏 Huge thanks to all our amazing LAGC collaborators! Special shoutout to Estela Bruxel and Diego Rovaris for leading this crucial work, and of course @janitzamontalvo.bsky.social and @giustilab.bsky.social for co-founding the LAGC and co-leading alongside myself. 💪

What do National Institutes of Health funding cuts mean for universities? We ask Holden Thorp, editor-in-chief of the journal Science and former University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill chancellor.

My editorial on the indirect cuts. This is an opportunity for campuses to come together to make the case for higher education. Leaders need to step up and ask for support and lead. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Today is the international day of the Woman and Girl in Science. To all badass women, scientists keep doing what you do: discovery, mentorship, and hard work. YOU belong in SCIENE.
To others, uplift the Women scientists you know, cite them, promote them, sponsor them, invite them - be an upstander.
