@defendpublichealth.bsky.social is asking people to show up at town halls between now and when Congress reconvenes at the end of the month. We need to push back against NIH cuts and political interference. 1/

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

This is a must-read piece by @math-rachel.bsky.social about AI evaluation, and how the system of reward and apportioning credit in AI research is broken rachel.fast.ai/posts/2025-0.... TL;DR -- we need deep fact checkers!

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

This work is not only an amazing resource for the community, it is also a total masterclass in code reusability, data FAIRness and reproducibility. Hopefully, this is the future!

82% of human protein-coding genes now have robust, consistent functional annotations, thanks to the combined efforts of biocurators across the GO consortium, Model Organism Databases, SwissProt/UniProtKB, all based on explicit evolutionary modeling via PANTHER families!

@pombase.bsky.social is proud to have contributed annotation to this extensive effort. Along with @flybase.bsky.social we also played a crucial role in improving annotation across species. Over 7 years, PomBase submitted ~600 PAINT update requests. @cambiochem.bsky.social

The Gulf of America is now the name for the northern portion of the Gulf of Mexico which sits on the Mexico Basin. Now is the time to be as pedantic as you can and journalists are dropping the ball. Sheinbaum already explained this in her morning press conference.

From the 52 Biodata resources listed on the GCBR website globalbiodata.org/what-we-do/g... 24 exist in the US, and of those, 12 are NOT mirrored, officially. Of these 52 resources, 29 are supported by the NIH. If Trump/Musk continue, we are FUBARed! #Bioinformatics #Genomics #SciPo 🧬 🖥️ 🧪

Since April, we have been busy curating pathways using GO-CAM pathway modelling. So far, 466 proteins (33 pathways) have been modelled. We have modelled signalling pathways, metabolic pathways, and other processes. The full list is here: www.pombase.org/documentatio..., and will increase weekly!
