Putting a molecular spin on fetal germ cell development. My dog has a stroller, and I don't care what anyone thinks about it. Postdoc in Capel lab @ Duke. K99 recipient. Hoping to covert it to R00 in 2026.

On the market!

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Current and former members of the NIH community have valuable personal perspectives to share about the devastation that is happening to US biomedical research, our federal agencies, and our democracy. This starter pack is a great way to hear what they have to say and what you can do about it.

All I want is a TT faculty position and the country to come together to resist authoritarianism. Is that so much to ask??

Lol. Sorry to say, Jay, but we’ve been doing this.

We just never saw the need to make it into a stupid slogan that matches the inside of **ump’s penthouse 🙄

@morielab.bsky.social proudly presents a tool to induce, in S. cerevisiae, DNA double strand breaks in a site-specific AND in a dose-dependent manner, in a very simple way: just transform two plasmids!!! It allows you to assess many aspects of DNA damage signaling & repair!

You do not have to say “pro vaccine groups.” You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.

Today, my NIH colleagues and I did something scary but really important. We spoke up about egregious harms we are seeing happen to research participants and public health through thoughtless and politicized policies at NIH. 🧵1/3

Every scientist should discuss the consequences of the NIH and NSF grant terminations and delays and failure to fund at their home institution at the end of a talk or seminar. Even if a scientist’s own funding is not threatened, I GUARANTEE there is someone at their institution affected.
It's breaking my brain to hear amazing talks that show treatments that help patients developed out of fundamental research, while temporarily ignoring the backdrop of the American science funding disaster

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Proud of Harvard for pushing back, exercising some creativity, and, maybe, helping folks get some needed education.

Harvard is making many of their online government courses FREE.

I just signed up for "Citizen Politics in America".

They even asked me my Gender.
