With the huge challenges facing scientists, I call on peer reviewers to reflect on their role as gatekeepers to trainee career development and scientific progress. You can maintain high standards for rigor while being kind and not demanding an extra year of studies for every paper revision.

Thank you @nicolecrust.bsky.social with yesterday’s events this takes on new meaning and importance. Today I have been calculating the dollar return on dollars invested in science - it’s usually doubled and often much more. Let’s spread the word. Biomedical science isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.

DEIAtruth@opm.gov is the email trumps admin wants you to use to turn in people for continuing DEI initiatives. (Don’t)
Maybe we should all email in reports about Trump & his administration instead.
Sign them something fun like “fueled by spite” “wrathfully” “you’re the worst” etc

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

🧪 new paper from our lab showing that BMP release during mouse palatal development requires calcium, and that we can induce BMP release via depolarization www.nature.com/articles/s41... - I’m very excited to be a co-first author on this work. Please reach out with questions!!
Depolarization induces calcium-dependent BMP4 release from mouse embryonic palate mesenchymal cells - Nature Communications
BMP signaling is important for multiple process, including craniofacial development, but relatively little is known about how BMP ligands are secreted. Here they show that embryonic palate mesenchyme ...
