So happy to see the growth of my former PhD Student @sandhya Malla
Pereira Lab@cellreprolab.bsky.social · last yr.1/3 Glad to share that the work of our Postdoctoral Fellow Sandhya Malla @mal71056 secured funding from the Hanseatic Life Science Research Infrastructure Consortium (HALRIC) to study the mechanisms of dendritic cell reprogramming!
I am extremely happy for this nice RNA Society Member Spotlight written by Dr. Maxime Wery and edited by Dr. Jennifer Porat, thanks to @Paula Groza @umeauniversitet.bsky.social www.rnasociety.org/dr--francesc...

In 2009, I went to Mount Sinai on a J1 visa. Those fruitful years in the USA allowed me to become a PI.
Miriam Merad @miriammerad.bsky.social · last yr.25 years ago, I came to Stanford on a J1 visa and worked so hard to be worthy of that privilege. Today, I lead Immunology at Mount Sinai and I am the one who feel privileged when brilliant international trainees chose to join us.
Fantastic meeting of the RNA Society of Sweden, with a lot of amazing science and fun interactions @sarshadlab.bsky.social @bellodi Thanks everyone for joining us, and see you again in Uppsala in 2027.
It was great to meet and share our research at the RNA Society of Sweden. Great meeting, great science with Fatima Gebauer, @andershlund.bsky.social , Ru-Juan Liu among others. Great organisation. Thank you so much for the invitation @xis-aguilo.bsky.social Cristian Bellodi @sarshadlab.bsky.social

And so it begins — NIH is planning to terminate active grants that no longer meet the agency's "priorities". Grants that were already approved for funding through peer review. The pursuit of knowledge should be apolitical, inclusive, and forward-thinking. 🧪 #PeerReview #DefendResearch
Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants
Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics. At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
