Taking D’Angelo when there’s an 80 year old decrepit orange clown around is really unfair…

Putting a molecular spin on fetal germ cell development. My dog has a stroller, and I don't care what anyone thinks about it. Postdoc in Capel lab @ Duke. K99 recipient. Hoping to covert it to R00 in 2026. On the market!
This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.
Check out our new manuscript on biorxiv on the role of MOS in mammalian oocyte meiosis: www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... With @schindlerlab.bsky.social @giselacairobaza.bsky.social @muhammad-haseeb.bsky.social
A persistent intracellular bridge and cell cycle misregulation enable polar body cell divisions and tumor formation in Mos-deficient eggs
Mammalian female meiosis is uniquely regulated to produce a developmentally competent egg capable of supporting embryogenesis. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes segregate, with half extruded in...

Current and former members of the NIH community have valuable personal perspectives to share about the devastation that is happening to US biomedical research, our federal agencies, and our democracy. This starter pack is a great way to hear what they have to say and what you can do about it. 🧪🧬🧠🥼🇺🇸
All I want is a TT faculty position and the country to come together to resist authoritarianism. Is that so much to ask?? 🫠
Lol. Sorry to say, Jay, but we’ve been doing this. We just never saw the need to make it into a stupid slogan that matches the inside of **ump’s penthouse 🙄 (I can’t even spell his name.)

@morielab.bsky.social proudly presents a tool to induce, in S. cerevisiae, DNA double strand breaks in a site-specific AND in a dose-dependent manner, in a very simple way: just transform two plasmids!!! It allows you to assess many aspects of DNA damage signaling & repair! doi.org/10.1111/febs...

Using CRISPR-Cas9, we engineered a genetic system allowing the dose-dependent induction of a controllable number of DNA double-strand breaks in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The tool was used to study th....

Today, my NIH colleagues and I did something scary but really important. We spoke up about egregious harms we are seeing happen to research participants and public health through thoughtless and politicized policies at NIH. 🧵1/3 apnews.com/article/nih-...

Innovate Carolina at UNC Chapel Hill is hiring a PhD level Commercialization Fellow. The fellow will help @uncchapelhill.bsky.social researchers conceptualize & commercialize novel technologies. The Innovate Carolina team is fabulous - check out the job posting: unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/301...
Every scientist should discuss the consequences of the NIH and NSF grant terminations and delays and failure to fund at their home institution at the end of a talk or seminar. Even if a scientist’s own funding is not threatened, I GUARANTEE there is someone at their institution affected.
Coleen Murphy@ctmurphy1.bsky.social · last yr.It's breaking my brain to hear amazing talks that show treatments that help patients developed out of fundamental research, while temporarily ignoring the backdrop of the American science funding disaster
Perhaps relevant as scientists weather a range of attacks, our team (led by UW research scientist Rachel Moran) published a paper describing how a slew of public records requests impacted our work & what that means for collaborative research in adversarial spaces & times: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

Science is an economic driver in Hamilton, Mont., thanks to Rocky Mountain Laboratories, a federal research lab. Now, layoffs and funding cuts are having an impact in this town far from Washington.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
Proud of Harvard for pushing back, exercising some creativity, and, maybe, helping folks get some needed education. Harvard is making many of their online government courses FREE. I just signed up for "Citizen Politics in America". They even asked me my Gender. pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...

I was PREP cohort #1. Today was the LAST UNC PREP symposium. Watching Dr. Joshua Hall, who was the Director my year and 11 years after, give the closing keynote was 😭🥹 But what was built cannot be undone. Our community is strong and all 137 of us are not going anywhere 💪🏾
Another important question is: if there are, are they actually desirable positions in the current environment?
@peiferlabunc.bsky.social - thoughts?
Talia Hatkevich@taliahatkevichphd.bsky.social · last yr.Are there going to be positions in the fall for tenure-track Assistant Professors? (Cell biology, reproductive biology, molecular biology, genetics...) Asking for a friend. Well, myself and a lot of my fellow postdoc friends.
