NSF just cancelled ALL grants to Harvard researchers. That’s right - physics, astronomy, bio, CAREER - ALL. Professors won’t get paid. Postdocs won’t get paid. PhD students won’t get paid. This is insane!
If they can do this to Harvard, they can do this to your school.

Wow. "NIH" canceled my co-mentored (with Dave Sulzer) PhD student's F31 funding. His work is on understanding the genetics and neuroscience of language learning disorders. F31 provides no indirect $ to Columbia, just pays his salary. Not that it should matter, but he's an American citizen. W.T.F.

GASTON, our method to learn “topographic maps” of gene expression, is out now @naturemethods.bsky.social!
IMO the coolest part is a new model of *spatial gradients in sparse data*.
As is typical for bio papers, it’s buried in Methods, but see below for a quick outline on the math 👇

Gene expression topography analysis by GASTON portrays domain organization and spatial gradients of gene expression and cell type composition using spatially resolved transcriptomics data.

A must-read article by @sashagusevposts.bsky.social (hopefully by those whose voice will have an impact). Personally, I'd advocate for a fruit-based distribution system of funds.

Distinguishing real from invented problems with the NIH
How does the NIH work and where does it work well?
