Microbial people! Especially postdocs and maybe some assistant professors who are feeling antsy ... the University of Montana is doing a search for a microbiologist! This is a great department, in a great place. (I worked there for 10 years, loved it, ping me with Qs)

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this:

Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪
NEW: In a further sign of turmoil at the NIH, Mike Lauer, who oversees the agency's $39 billion extramural budget that goes to research outside the NIH, has resigned effective tomorrow.

This comes after top NIH official Larry Tabak abruptly retired yesterday.
