Science has already saved countless lives and will save many more if we let it. Hearing firsthand from patients whose lives have been saved by medical research (tinyurl.com/m65339fh) shows how vital this funding is, even for those lucky enough not to have needed it yet.

@faseborg.bsky.social works hard to ensure a sustained commitment to investment in research. The FY26 budget is up for a full Senate vote, then next to the House. I know we're all tired, but contacting your reps still matters. Nothing happens without funding.
Thank the Senate for rejecting the drastic cuts to NSF and NIH! Recommended NSF receive $9 billion and NIH $48.7 billion to continue investment in research. Though these levels fall short of FASEB’s recommendations, their commitment to research is critical. Send a letter ➡️

"...science loses meaning if it comes at the cost of human potential, and mentorship is, at its core, about nurturing that potential."

Wise words from Brandon Gaut, whose essay is worth a read for mentors and mentees alike. We're so glad he is the recipient of our inaugural GSA Mentorship Award.
Wonderful (and humble) essay on mentorship by Brandon Gaut, on occasion of Brandon receiving the inaugural Mentorship Award of @genetics-gsa.bsky.social. I hope this will be widely read!

PA folks - This is Senator McCormick's first term. High stakes: University of Pittsburgh (at ~$685.3M ranked 6th in NIH funding) and Penn (at ~$691.2M ranked 5th in NIH funding) FY24. Plus Carnegie Mellon, Penn State, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, others.
From @aaas.org check-in with Sudip Parikh: a letter by 14 Republican senators urge the Office of Management and Budget to release NIH funding. If this includes your state (AL, ME, WV, SC, KY, KS, AR, PA, NC, IN, AK), Sudip recommends contacting & thanking them for being American science leaders.

🧪Have a terminated NSF grant? Or been impacted by such a termination? Call your Senators, esp if they're Repub!!

An amendment to restore killed NSF grants will later be debated on the *full Senate* floor, after it narrowly failed in committee today.
