I don’t have enough hats to tip for the bold move that @carpentries.carpentries.org just made.
I spoke with Kari Jordan and Erin Becker of The Carpentries about why they declined a $1.5M NSF grant intended to expand data science training. Their decision highlights the growing intersection of #science, #DEI, and federal policy.

Nonprofit Refuses $1.5M Science Grant Due To New Federal DEI Rules
A coding nonprofit turned down a $1.5M NSF grant after new DEI restrictions, highlighting the clash between federal policy and scientific community values.

How coooooool!!!!!!! Cannot wait to download and look into this data as a side project.
"For decades, neuroscientists have wrestled with—and regularly fought over—a seemingly basic question about the human brain: does it make new neurons in adulthood?"
Now, in a new study in #Science, Dumitru et al identify proliferating neural progenitors in the adult human hippocampus.. 🧠🔬🧪

Genetic evidence that our brains make new neurons in adulthood may close a century-old debate
Cells from human brain tissue have genetic hallmarks of neural progenitors, AI-aided study finds

I had a fantastic time at #BNA2025! I was grateful for the opportunity to present one of my DPhil projects and truly honoured to be selected for a flash talk to showcase my poster.
Now back to submitting my cluster jobs and being in the lab doing the molecular bits.

Organoids (and certainly not AI) are nowhere near as rigorous or reproducible as animal models. This won’t lower drug prices bc the main cost is the human clinical trial. If anything it will R&D costs by encouraging companies to pursue Phase 1 trials on shoddily validated preclinical assets
FDA plans to phase out animal testing requirement for drug testing and replace it with “AI-based computational models of toxicity” and organoid toxicity testing www.fda.gov/news-events/...

One lesson I have learned over the last 6 months doing mostly bioinformatics is to never call a folder “Final data” ever again 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

@jfcryan.bsky.social What a wonderful talk at #BrainConf2025 yesterday!
Thank you for the amazing conversation about scepticism on the gut-brain axis and the many ways to target brain health via the gut.

Head to poster B451 #CellBio24 to see some bioinformatics I have been doing over the last two months (presented by BlueSky-less Dr. Jacek Szymanski - postdoc from the lab I am doing my PhD in).
