An estimated 6,000 veterans across federal agencies have been fired by Elon Musk and DOGE, according to a report by House Appropriations Commitee Democrats.

With the huge challenges facing scientists, I call on peer reviewers to reflect on their role as gatekeepers to trainee career development and scientific progress. You can maintain high standards for rigor while being kind and not demanding an extra year of studies for every paper revision.

BREAKING: Republican Congressman Andy Biggs has introduced a bill to abolish OSHA.

The entire text of the bill reads "The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 is repealed. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is abolished."

Musk is a literal supervillain for fuck's sake.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

If you are ready to advocate to your representatives (or friends and families) about the economic value of NIH funded research, you can check your state at www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Thank you @nicolecrust.bsky.social with yesterday’s events this takes on new meaning and importance. Today I have been calculating the dollar return on dollars invested in science - it’s usually doubled and often much more. Let’s spread the word. Biomedical science isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.

DEIAtruth@opm.gov is the email trumps admin wants you to use to turn in people for continuing DEI initiatives. (Don’t)
Maybe we should all email in reports about Trump & his administration instead.
Sign them something fun like “fueled by spite” “wrathfully” “you’re the worst” etc

Everyone who works at nasa must have come there with hearts full of exploration and wonder and love of humanity and I don’t know how you can read that email and not feel like you work at a place that is small and cruel

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Do I work hard? No. But do I work smart to compensate. Absolutely not.

sorry i didn’t text back life lost all meaning

Another day, another failed qPCR 🧪

That weird limbo between Christmas and New Year: time doesn’t exist, your diet is 90% cheese and chocolate, you’ve worn the same pajamas for days, and every conversation starts with “Wait, what day is it?”

microwave broke so i'm back to using the sun and a magnifying glass

I love the week before holiday break where I attempt to find out how many experiments it is humanly possible to do in 5 days

Hello Bluesky. This is the official account of the Section of Developmental Biology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Follow us to learn about all the exciting research and training happening in our great community!

I accidentally no call no showed my therapist this morning. Do you think she’s mad at me?

Depolarization induces calcium-dependent BMP4 release from mouse embryonic palate mesenchymal cells - Nature Communications BMP signaling is important for multiple process, including craniofacial development, but relatively little is known about how BMP ligands are secreted. Here they show that embryonic palate mesenchyme ...

🧪 new paper from our lab showing that BMP release during mouse palatal development requires calcium, and that we can induce BMP release via depolarization www.nature.com/articles/s41... - I’m very excited to be a co-first author on this work. Please reach out with questions!!

I got a new tattoo and a perm so basically now I’m a new person

Hi! Excited to be added, I’m a PhD candidate at the university of Colorado in dev/cell bio scholar.google.com/citations?us...

Cell bio PhD student here 🧪currently feeling like I have quite a bit going on, multiple projects to manage, lots of moving parts, and not enough time management- what apps do you all use to manage your time or productivity?

Was locked out of my account after getting a new phone but we are so back babyyyyy

My toxic trait is seeing 1 (O N E) professional soccer game and thinking “I should join a team again”, even though I’ve fully destroyed both ankles and my right knee playing
