This week was the first official week of the Vazquez Lab, with everyone officially starting! Not only did we have a great first lab meeting today, but we also had great (and comically excessive) ice cream from the Penn State Creamery!

The propagation of misinformation on social media is among the greatest threats to public health right now. Many people want to ignore this, but there are millions of Americans who have been groomed to believe that science is just some kind of scam.

It’s deeply pathetic that Senate Democrats are continuing to advance bipartisan funding bills while Trump unconstitutionally seizes the right to impound funds, and implements a police state. Murphy is absolutely right on this one.

Chris Murphy goes all in on funding bill boycott as Dems seek bipartisanship

The politically ambitious Connecticut Democrat is walking away from bipartisan government funding negotiations as his party clamors for a seat at the table.

Had a ton of fun at #2025IBRC! Got to see flying foxes for the first time (and folks dressed as flying foxes!), lots of cool wildlife, and shared some cool science! Also got to advertise my new lab - which I'm now off to start!

A incredibly powerful article from @cbsnews.com and Ted Koppel. 🧵 “Natalie Phelps has Stage 4 metastatic colorectal cancer. She and her husband, Jeff, live in Washington State.”

"When is cancer political?" Medical researchers, patients decry Trump admin's layoffs, budget cuts

Scientists conducting medical research are facing an existential crisis: Layoffs and budget cuts pushed by President Trump that, they say, jeopardize finding a cure for cancer.

Good morning, this is a very helpful tool for keeping track of the critters and sharing data. 🧪

Do you study wildlife disease? Don't just share your sequences - share your testing data! We've developed a minimum data standard and an R package to help you, and wrote a little how-to-share-data handbook for disease ecology and One Health surveillance projects 🦇🦟🦠🗺️🔢 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Colossal Bio threatens legal action against a critic of their scientific claims. 😬 It's very interesting that the letter doesn't actually *deny* that Colossal, its CEO, and their agents are leading a smear campaign against Lynch, instead focusing on the fact that he can't *prove* that they did. 🤨

@kenwhite.bsky.social The company that falsely claimed to de-extinct the dire wolf is now threatening legal action against a scientific critic for "defamation". Would New York's anti-SLAPP statute protect against this?

Wow, I’ve just found a Bluesky channel that lets you see only posts with links to scientific papers and get a feed that focuses on the science discussions around them. This is transformative!

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

I work in grants. From my POV, the solution is not to compete for crumbs, but to put that effort into banding together across institutions to stand up for research. We need to yell at politicians and make sure Americans know what they’ll lose if university research ends.

Choose Science. Choose Europe. A new Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 call is now open. With a budget of €404.3 million, it will support around 1,650 researchers from Europe and beyond. Apply by 10 September → europa.eu/!fBTMgF

I’m very glad to share our recent publication @pnas.org , led by UnJin Lee from our lab at @rockefelleruniv.bsky.social : pnas.org/doi/10.1073/.... In this work, he 1) developed a method to efficiently compare single-cell RNA-seq data from rapidly evolving tissues across multiple species, and
