I had a great day on the hill yesterday with ASBMB advocating for funding for research and training in molecular life sciences

Can't agree with this more strongly – from creating jobs to training our brightest young scientists to laying the foundations for tomorrow's cures & research tools, NIH support for basic research has been the bedrock of U.S. biomedical science. It's too important to jeopardize –

Met with congressional staff yesterday with Ed Eisenstein to talk about the importance of stable predictable funding for fundamental research and to thank our representatives and senators for their support. #ASBMBAdvocates #ScienceServesUsAll

Great news. Fingers crossed.

Just received a NOA today for the renewal of the R35 MIRA grant that supports my lab. Parent grant ended 3/31 and this new one start Aug1--4 month delay and years off my life. Very relieved and grateful for NIH staff that made this happen!

I heard there was a walk out

Hard to argue with the data. HOW is this being done ie HOW exactly are POs being prevented from sending out NOAs? Including mine?

What was your impact score?

Has anyone heard from their PO about funding for a NIGMS R35 competitive renewal? Mine is listed as “pending administrative review “ but PO telling me NOTHING. Someone else heard unofficially from PO that their R35will be funded but 40% cut. WTF? I submitted 1 year ago. Just want to know SOMETHING

32 impact score. Fundable in the past. My PO is not giving me any guidance official or otherwise

To your knowledge, have any NOAs gone out?

Congratulations to this amazing group of scientists and people!!

Congratulations to you and the other ASBMB fellows So great to see your many contributions honored!

Great talk! Congratulations Vinnie!

So much great science and such a great community! Thank you #ASBMB!

You are inspiring at so many levels! Thanks for your amazing talk at ASBMB meeting!

Great to catch up on pseudokinases!!!

Thank you for being a trusted source of information during this chaotic time!

The Coming Out of a Transgender Scientist "I know that I am making the right decision because whenever I think about changing my gender role, I am flooded with feelings of relief."

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

Looking forward to these exciting talks!

It sounds like more grant cancellations will be coming for any grant that mentions climate change. Please respond if you know anything more about this situation. Has this already happened? Advice for grants in limbo that say ‘climate change’? Resubmit?

Bispecific antibodies targeting the N-terminal and receptor binding domains potently neutralize SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern Bispecific antibodies incorporating a cross-reactive NTD-specific antibody are resilient to SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.

Wow, major breakthrough in the development of broadly neutralizing bispecific antibody therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2, led by @stanford-chemh.bsky.social institute scholar @cobarnes27.bsky.social 😃

Congratulations to all especially my colleague @cobarnes27.bsky.social
Amazing work!

Thank you for doing this critical work!

Congratulations on these beautiful papers!

Looking forward to meeting up with lots of women in biochemistry and molecular biology at ASBMB meeting in Chicago in April. Just had a great conversation with the WiBMB committee. Come join their events and get engaged with a super supportive community of brilliant women scientists!

Looking forward to this great meeting!
