If you are a postdoc hoping to present at the SICB 2027 annual meeting in Pittsburgh, USA, & you are in need of financial support to travel, make sure you apply for a @biologists.bsky.social/@sicb.bsky.social Postdoc Travel Award 🔁 Deadline: 10 September '27 tinyurl.com/bdfmbph7

Summer Institute Spotlights Continue! Kyler Jeong is part of a team at UC Irvine investigating how avian foot morphology influences balance stability, using robotic feet inspired by terrestrial birds to examine perturbation tolerance and recovery dynamics.

Apparently, it bears repeating every single year: don’t sleep with your students. (apropos of that ASU/UW Madison story)

Summer Institute Spotlights Continue! Autumn Routt is a PhD candidate in bioengineering at Georgia Tech. Autumn is part of a team at Emory University investigating how added mass affects muscle control and balance strategies to understand stability, instability, and fall risk in pregnancy.

The next deadline for JEB Travelling Fellowship applications is 23 October, so start planning NOW! 🔁 www.biologists.com/grants/trave...

Summer Institute Spotlights Continue! Avanthi Obadage is a mechanical engineering student at UIUC. This summer, Avanthi is part of a team at USC exploring how physical capacity influences resilience to balance disturbances during walking and how individuals adapt their gait to maintain stability.

Continuing our IMSI Summer Institute Trainee & Near-Peer Mentor Spotlight! Roger Chen is an undergraduate student at UC Irvine. This summer, Roger is working with a team at FSU exploring why humans run instead of hop using a computer model capable of simulating legged locomotion.

Continuing our IMSI Summer Institute Trainee & Near-Peer Mentor Spotlight! Next up: Edgar Rodriguez, an engineering student at Harvey Mudd College. This summer, Edgar is working with a team at USC studying how desert kangaroo rats move while airborne to set landing conditions.

2027 HHMI Gilliam Fellowship: New Deadline, Eligibility, and Award Changes — Ya'el Courtney

HHMI's 2027 Gilliam Fellowship guide is out. What changed: an earlier October 27 deadline, expanded eligibility, a higher stipend, and a new postdoc pathway.

New: The National Science Foundation is preparing to claw back some $500 million in funds from some of its core science programs in physics, math, computer science, and engineering in order to fund a project from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

NSF plans cuts to core science programmes to fund White House initiative

A proposed clawback of already distributed research funds comes as the US agency’s budget is already squeezed and it struggling to clear a backlog of grant applications.

The Cost of Free Labor: Will Nature Ever Pay for Peer Review?

The coast is never clear. How a simple geography question changed math.

Inspired by Project Hail Mary, this video explores the biomechanics of living beyond Earth, from muscle and bone loss to the challenges of movement in microgravity. The science fiction is compelling. The science behind it is even more fascinating. 🚀 Watch here: youtu.be/h5ZN3B17FH4
