Biological Chemistry's position is still taking applications. UM is a great place to be a PI, I'd love to see a new membrane biology or lipids expert join our community.
This is open for new and established investigators.

The q.e.d feedback that you get when you run your paper via @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social is not posted there, it's private and for your eyes only. In the future we want to create a report that you'll be able to attach to your preprint like a cover letter (it's all opt in of course)
IT'S HAPPENING! 💥 I'm psyched to launch the collaboration between @qedscience.bsky.social & @openrxiv.bsky.social @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! Preprint + q.e.d = your science is out there, and anyone can appreciate it. Let's care about making discoveries, and not on “getting published” (1/3) 👇

This is my son’s soccer teammate. This is heartbreaking to watch, no kid should go through this. I know his parents, they are good people. No family should endure this. The cruelty and evil actions of the trump administration and ICE are tearing families and communities apart.
Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

The existence of tactical Italian sandwiches implies the existence of intercontinental ballistic Italian sandwiches.

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

Protip for NIH reviewers.
It does log you out on a schedule, even without crashes. If you notice it's done so (thankfully it doesn't seem to auto-refresh to a blank page), you can still copy the text from the boxes into a notepad or doc.

There would have been breathless hysteria if Biden said something like this. W.T.F.
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is
O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.
TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Zara will be missed. Such terrible news.
Zara Weinberg passed away earlier this week. She joined my lab earlier this year when her postdoc lab formally closed.
She was a brilliant scientist, supportive mentor, dear friend, avid music fan, rabid believer in public transit, open science champion, and above all just an amazing human.

Really enjoyed the Shaomeng Wang and Ju-Yun Li Lecture in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Michigan from Lotte Bjerre Knudsen, Lasker award winner and pioneer of GLP-1 agonists. Great insight into fearlessness and persistence in drug discovery.

Obvious to say this, but the actual function of the smear job isn't to make us ask about his aunt, it's to show us the words "hijab" and "9/11" in a headline with his photo.

In 1992, my midwestern family (naively) hunkered down here as one of the strongest hurricanes on record to make landfall hit S. Florida. I cannot fathom what is about to happen to the people of Jamaica. God be with them.
