Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

Cervical cancer deaths for vaccinated young women fall to zero in England: study

The HPV vaccine for cervical cancer has reduced the risk of dying from the disease before the age of 30 in England to almost zero, the first study of its kind showed Thursday.

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)

Sweeping draft regulations released by OMB pose one of the most significant threats to federally funded research in decades. The proposal would affect nearly every aspect of the scientific process. Read more: https://www.ascb.org/science-policy/federal-research-regulations-threat-american-science/

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

It's the End of American Science As We Know It

We have 45 days to express our opposition to catastrophic changes.

BREAKING: New proposed OMB regulation, applying to all federal grants, requiring grant reviews by senior political appointees and re-emphasizes that "peer review remains advisory and does not replace agency discretion". #standupforscience public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10817.pdf

This is a substantial power grab by OMB. Comment period starts tomorrow. Here are two relevant excerpts. 1/3

FINALLY HR has the posting up for a postdoc opening in my lab ! Particularly interested in folks with electrophysiology, photometry, or behavioral experience. www.gwu.jobs/postings/125...

Kash lab at UNC is hiring a new technician (our current two are off to grad school!!) posting will go live soon, email me CV and names of references if interested.

me, after coming up with a revolutionary idea and then immediately forgetting it for ever

I am looking for a new reserach technician. This is an entry level position ideal for a graudating senior. Please re-post and send candidates my way! zoemce@email.unc.edu

Can someone explain this to me like I'm 4? I saw NOT-funded 5% applications, while "NIH" staff may recommend competitive-non-discussed applications.."for funding to their Institute.. when considering programmatic priority, portfolio balance.." What is this? 🍒 picking? grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

Can people raise hands / speak up here, if they had a non-discussed-competitive proposal funded?

boehninglab@boehninglab.com · 3mo ago

I'm curious if any of these proposals have been funded.

Discussing Fewer Applications DOES NOT Strengthen Efficiency. Without 50% apps discussion, we are doomed to keep re-submitting and re-reviewing the same proposals over and over Not efficient to grantees or reviewers. @drugmonkey.bsky.social @altnih4science.bsky.social grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

This is wholly unacceptable @nih! Congress gave you the funds to support research, so let’s get those NOAs out the door so science can improve America’s health!

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

"You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock. Somehow you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the benefits of vaccines. Really? -- Rep. Linda Sanchez to RFK Jr

NOT-OD-26-069 from yesterday: only 30-35% of applications will continue to be discussed (vs. 50%) for October council. URGE the CSR to restore 50%, without scores and guidance, we are doomed for endless re-reviews. This undermines, not streamlines, the review process. 100% harms the grantees. Pls RT

Joanna Dabrowska@dabrowska-lab.bsky.social · 4mo ago

As a grantee and study section member I urge CSR to restore discussion of 50% of applications. At 33% - one unfavorable score can push a strong grant out. For resubmission - panel feedback is essential! @altnih4science.bsky.social @jeremymberg.bsky.social #CSR #NIH @drugmonkey.bsky.social RTpls!

Hear, hear!

Needhi Bhalla 💅🏽@needhibhalla.bsky.social · 4mo ago

As a recipient of federal grants from #NIH (for now! 😭) that funds research in my lab, I'd like to sincerely thank American taxpayers on #TaxDay for investing in scientific research that lays the foundation for medical and technological innovation in this country and keeps us ALL safe and healthy

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

If you think the Pope is a radical leftist, wait till you meet his boss.

As a reminder: I am hiring a postdoc and at least one research assistant for a project on VTA circuits and cognitive function that starts this summer. Get in touch if interested!

Email your senators to urge them not to confirm Jim O’Neill as Director of the National Science Foundation. He's not a scientist, has no relevant expertise, promoted vaccine misinformation, helped gut the CDC, and his Silicon Valley ties raise questions about protecting the public interest. (1/2🧵)
