![“Hello, my name is [Dr. Jim Smith], and I live on [Main Street in Anytown, Connecticut]. I am a [biomedical researcher at the State University], where I study [briefly describe your research]. This research is funded by the [NIH] and is crucial because [in one sentence explain why your research is important to the public].
The decision by the NIH to immediately reduce the amount of funds it provides universities to support biomedical research will have a devastating impact on American science.
Universities are vital partners in the research we do. Without the administrative support and the research facilities they provide, I could not do my research.
I am deeply concerned about the implications of this decision on America’s standing as the world’s leader in life science research.
I urge [Senator Jones] to take action to stop these reductions in university research support. Thank you for your time, and I would be happy to discuss this further at any time.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r3avzdjyhu6jm7vxia265ncu/bafkreic44hnsrs4r5z7wf2vbebjkcgmq27uecx5qekvsc3jnk4endtunbi@jpeg)

Have you always wondered how microvilli form? Where DOES that actin come from to form the core bundle? Come to the #BuildingTheCell (Part 1) subgroup tomorrow morning at 8:45 to find out! Room 29C. #CellBio2025

It's #FluorescenceFriday fresh off the press is this depth coded image of #Microtubules. @tyskalabactual.bsky.social

Admittedly, this is a reversed movie of #microvilli collapsing, but how cool would it be if growth were synchronized like this? #FluorescenceFriday

I'm excited to rebuild this #science community over here on Bluesky! In honor of this clean slate, here's a repost of my favorite #epithelial cell building its brush border. @tyskalabactual.bsky.social
