Happy #FluorescenceFriday! 🔬🌟 Here’s a 4x expansion microscopy image with hoechst(🧬) and a NUP marker. The denaturation step made NUP marker non-specific, but also gave me a really cool image! #Mitosis #Microscopy

This story seems almost unbelievable. Yale Law School suspended Helyeh Doutaghi, an international law scholar, because an AI-powered news site claimed she had ties to terrorists, which she denies. How is an AI-powered site able to dictate the employment status of someone at a leading university?
Yale Scholar Banned After A.I. News Site Accuses Her of Terrorist Link
The deputy director of a liberal project at Yale Law School was put on leave over allegations that she is linked to Samidoun, a group the U.S. government has said funds terrorists.

Solidarity with Helyeh Doutaghi who was fired by Yale Law School for speaking unequivocally for Palestinian liberation. Shame on her Yale colleagues for their silent cowardice and complicity. May you fall with the fascist institution.

I don’t share New York Times pieces lightly but this is too wild not to share. This woman, Helyeh Doutaghi, an Iranian lawyer, was maligned by a Zionist AI run news site, and began to receive hate messages, and was suspended at a cowardly Yale that caved to the pressure. Unbelievable. Link below.

A new study that looks at uncredited contributions of #WomeninSTEM to genetics research was inspired by the film "Hidden Figures". How scientists are portrayed in society matters; the stories we tell matter.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

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

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a JUDICIAL warrant. If they attempt to enter your home or your workplace, ask for a warrant. Sometimes they will try to use other, non qualifying paperwork. They need a warrant.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

As a scientist, I know progress thrives on diversity & inclusivity. Now is the time to advocate for those whose voices are silenced, especially in the lab. Black, Brown, queer, trans, immigrant, undocumented, disabled, & Indigenous communities matter. We deserve to be here.
