To my friends and colleagues in the #Drosophila world & the #genetics world who attended #TAGC24, Schedule F is what I warned y'all about.
So let's work with @jeremymberg.bsky.social ⬇️ and make public comments against the politicization of scientific review & grant award-making at #NIH & #NSF.

Implementation of Schedule F
This is what a lot of us have been worried about.
This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs.
BUT THERE IS A COMMENT PERIOD...

This is so true - and I often feel this !!! We tried some part of the interview style conversations at #TAGC24 and it went well, but there could be ways to play around with the format to get the scientific story through.

I've been raising the alarm about Project 2025 for nearly a year. At the Allied Genetics Conference held in March 2024 (TAGC24), not one of the "science policy forum" panelists had heard of it, even though Lozada wrote about it in the NYT days earlier. They all thought it couldn't come to pass.

Beyond honoured that my image of a Malpighian (renal) tubule has won the Genetic Society of America’s Drosophila Image Award 2024 at #TAGC24 #Dros24. Especially as the award is based not just on aesthetics but the science it represents doi.org/10.1242/jcs.....

I wrote about a project I am excited about!
Why are not all E. coli resistant to antibiotics?

Thank you @GeneticsGSA for a spectacular conference last week! At #TAGC24 I gave my first talk at an international conference, unexpectedly reunited with old friends, and met so many great scientists who's excitement for science and learning was contagious 🦠

I'm teaching a two week stint in our graduate evolution reading class. I just returned from an invigorating
#TAGC24, and I'm super excited to be back in the lab. I'm feeling a lot of that energy bleeding into the grad course. Looking forward to the next two weeks!

![[Partial text of the syllabus]
Weeks 9 and 10 Overview
For weeks 9 and 10, we will be reading 8 papers total: 6 primary research papers and two perspectives. This works out to 2 per class meeting (i.e., 4 per week).
Each student is expected to read and be prepared to discuss every paper. However, each paper will also be assigned a facilitator. The facilitator will guide discussion and write up one page summaries in the style that Tony Long required for his section. This will constitute graded work for this part of the class. The last class session will be more open, and hopefully we'll be able to conduct it outside at Starbucks, Cafe Espresso, or similar.
For the first three days, during class, there will be three phases:
introductory remarks (~10-20 minutes);
paper discussion (2x~40-45 minutes);
conclusions/synthesis (remaining time).

3 cheers for #TAGC24! What a great meeting, and hats off to the organizers at all levels. Looks like I should have set aside an entire extra week to watch all the talks and look at all the posters I missed though.

my brain is mush, but my heart is full, after several nonstop days talking to friends old and new about the mysteries of life. it was pretty cool to see so many folks from my dev/neuro/evo communities across different species. tx Harmit Malik @barrlab.bsky.social for leading #TAGC24!

Enjoyed a great #tagc24 with a bunch of lab folks, past and present. Everyone appreciated the breadth of genetics represented. Very well organized and supported.
