Highly recommend this two part series on the cosmic distance ladder. It's very motivating when dealing with both individual research struggles and the ongoing attacks on US science to learn about extremely simple questions (e.g. "how far is the sun?") that were tackled over hundreds of years.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

So pumped for this to be out in its final form!
After years of struggling with unstable and inactive membrane proteins, this story started from the quintessential pissed-off postdoc question: “Why the hell do I even bother purifying these damned proteins”?
