Any plant biologist with a funded NIH R35 MIRA ESI willing to share their proposal with me? THANKS. #PlantSciences

Preprint on tandem split-GFP influenza viruses is now up! We strung 7 copies of GFP11 together to make a bright virus with minimal fitness defects. Fluorescence requires GFP1-10 from cells, so we made a few that are relevant for flu. See this fluorescent love story: www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

A P/W lab student who had his F31-DIV terminated just got a very fundable score on the (same) F31 he submitted again as a new application in April.

Its almost as if his science and aptitude had nothing to do with "DEI" 🤔

Hope this inspires others with unfairly terminated awards to try again!

Scientist boy band?

Yay!!! But also explain this to me—GA wasn’t part of the lawsuit, right? Everyone keeps saying it’s restricted to states that sued, but NIH actions are maybe inconsistent with that (I hope?)

Plans within plans: post-transcriptional regulation governs macrophage responses Macrophages are sentinels and first responders of the innate immune system. By sensing danger signals, they initiate and amplify inflammatory and rege…

Want to learn more about all the ways macrophages regulate their functions downstream of transcription? Check out our new review, the brainchild of two talented trainees: Mackenzie Smith @u2afwho.bsky.social in the Patrick lab and Ed Courvan in the Parker lab.

The Post Malone ones are also quite good.

IAI: Zero open access fees and a reasonable review process.
5 stars, will be back!

But if they’re blocking all pending terminations… 🤔

Does anyone know if terminated grants from states not in the lawsuit have a chance of being reinstated? Two F31-DIVs terminated in red states over here…

Congrats Helene! Cool story!

Are you looking for a faculty job? We are hiring in my department at Roswell Park NOW. Contact me for details as I await the formal ad. (Please RT.)

Beautiful science in a beautiful place with beautiful people. Having a great time at #RNA2025

Got it. Thanks!

Amazing news! Quick question (since we need to crowd source our understanding of the NIH these days), was yours a new MIRA or a non competing renewal of an already awarded one? I’m trying to figure out what happening with MIRAs that were already awarded but have a PEDP...

“Look, it’s a macrophage.”

The Reyes Ruiz Lab is opening in 2026 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in the Department of Pathobiological Sciences. My lab will focus on host antibacterial effectors and adaptation of bacteria to host-imposed stress during S. aureus infections.

Best news of the day! Congratulations!

Our lab love language is sharing food, so we had to have breakfast AND lunch in honor of Robbie on his birthday!

Celebrating a successful RNA in Immunity session with all our favorite scientists, sponsored by the @cytokinesociety.bsky.social at #immunology2025. @carpenterlab.bsky.social @ramlabuw.bsky.social @naehasubramanian.bsky.social @heleneliu.bsky.social

It was a huge pleasure to represent @cytokinesociety.bsky.social at AAI to discuss RNA and immunity. Thanks to my co-chair @ramlabuw.bsky.social and all our fabulous speakers @thepwlab.bsky.social @naehasubramanian.bsky.social and @heleneliu.bsky.social. Mahalo!

CELF2 suppresses immunostimulatory endogenous RNAs that activate the RIG-I-MAVS pathway in macrophages, preventing type I IFN-signature. Congrats to Julian Smith, Olivia Kern, and all the co-authors for their hard work! #innateimmunity #dsRNA #IFN

Fantastic session on tissue immunity this afternoon by these four amazing women scientists! #aai2025 #immunology2025

Excited to be reminded of all the reasons it’s an amazing privilege to be a scientist. Ready for #immunology2025.

Yesssssss! Well deserved! I hope it gives you a break from grant writing for a minute :)

Can we get a show of hands of labs studying these exact f*cking things?

Reviewing PhD Applications: A stream of consciousness — Gonzales Lab A list of notes takes in real-time when reviewing PhD applications and interviews

When reviewing PhD applications this cycle, I made small notes of things that stood out to me. Both good and bad.

I think it could be helpful to those considering applying this Fall.
