Our goal is to have 1000 SUFS Teach Ins across the US, by 9/30. *GASP* 😮 We know, it's a big goal. If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform *your* community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.

Host a teach in. Share science with your community....protest style! Calling back to the teach ins of 1965, we are taking to parks, pubs, & churches to tell our neighborhoods about how the budget cuts will impact them.

Misinformation is winning not because it's true, but because it’s loud, emotional, and everywhere. It’s time for science to fight back. Aaron Mertz and I dissect the issue and offer solutions 👇 📖 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social @aspeninstitute.bsky.social

GOOD NEWS, DORKS! YOUR voice matters. Research shows people still trust scientists — just the wrong ones. But we can change that. GET OUT THERE! SPEAK UP! Read more below ⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Science’s big problem is a loss of influence, not a loss of trust

Evidence shows that science and scientists remain highly trusted. But genuine scientific voices are not shouting loud enough over the noise to hold sway.

🚨 HUGE news from Canada's tricouncils who are harmonizing their scholarship & fellowship programs, upping the total number (huzzah!), and critically, allowing foreigners to apply for doctoral and postdoc fellowships. Want to work with me? Get in touch! 🇨🇦🧪⚒️ www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NewsDetail-D...

NSERC - Latest News - Launch of the new Harmonized Tri-agency Scholarship and Fellowship programs

As announced in Budget 2024, the scholarship and fellowship programs administered by the three federal research funding agencies – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) – have been streamlined into a new harmonized talent program called the Canada Research Training Awards Suite (CRTAS) that will open for applications in summer 2025.

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Congrats to Salma Merchant for Cell Stem Cell paper: the effects of fatty acid oxidation in hematopoietic stem cells are context dependent. FAO is not necessary in young HSCs, but becomes necessary during aging, and is deleterious when upregulated by a high fat diet. www.cell.com/cell-stem-ce...

Different effects of fatty acid oxidation on hematopoietic stem cells based on age and diet

Morrison and colleagues show long-chain fatty acid oxidation has context-dependent effects on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). It is dispensable for HSC function in young mice. It becomes necessary for normal HSC function and hematopoiesis in older mice. A high-fat diet increases fatty acid oxidation, and this impairs HSC function.
