My NIH diversity supplement was reinstated! 🥳

This is not the time to keep quiet or feel defeated by this administration. This is the time to raise hell 🔥 and be heard ✊🏽

Quantitative Phage-Bacteria Dynamics Across Scales Group Photo, College Park, MD, June 24, 2025

Midway through a full week, early career focused event at University of Maryland. Ever more excited for what could be in the study of phage dynamics across scales.

Many thanks to all the lecturers, student/postdoc participants, lab instructors, and support.

Anyone aware of somebody doing compassionate release type phage therapy in Canada? A friend of mine is having a lot of trouble with ever increasing AMR Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

“Importantly, under long-standing law and practice, NIH does not have the authority to arbitrarily terminate grants. Its funding decisions must be guided by congressional mandates, regulatory requirements, and scientific expertise, not vague and undefined criteria.”

We're in an epic, generational crisis.

Mystique, a broad host range Acinetobacter phage, reveals the impact of culturing conditions on phage isolation and infectivity Author summary Bacterial infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii are a major global health concern due to high antibiotic resistance, earning it a critical priority pathogen ranking by the WHO. P...

Mystique is here! When I started my position at @cmdi.bsky.social there were no readily available phage against my A. baumannii focal strain. The solution? Finding my own phage ofc. Mystique is a broad host range Acinetobacter phage, and I'm thrilled to see this work out today #PhageSky 🧪🦠

If a student you know received an honorable mention for the NSF GRFP, encourage them to contact their Congressional representatives! 🧪

Trump’s Science Policies Pose Long-Term Risk, Economists Warn (Gift Article) Since World War II, U.S. research funding has led to discoveries that fueled economic gains. Now cutbacks are seen as putting that legacy in jeopardy.

Tariffs get all the attention, but ask economists what they're really worried about and many will point to the Trump administration's cuts to federal support for the sciences, including canceling grants and revoking student visas.

BREAKING: DHS Detains Palestinian Student from Columbia Encampment, Says Advocates Agents told him his student visa was revoked. But he had a green card. Agents then said that was revoked too.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Long-term measles-induced immunomodulation increases overall childhood infectious disease mortality Preventing measles prevents immune memory damage and nonspecifically safeguards against many childhood infections.

per @michaelmina.bsky.social
'we discovered an exceptionally strong relationship between measles epidemics and all cause childhood mortality - following outbreaks of measles, child mortality was increased for 2-3 years'

🚨Academic scientist friends who are members-ideally leaders- of scientific professional societies, I need your help. 🚨

There is a sign-letter being prepared that will speak out against recent politicization of scientific funding and demonization of scientific researchers.

It’s shocking how few people know about the #Tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas. Why? Because the CDC can’t issue notifications to alert healthcare workers about it. #PublicHealth

The FDA has scrubbed from its website guidance on conducting medical trials with representative numbers of men/women and racial/ethnic minorities. these aren't symbolic issues. Drugs affect men/men, people with different genetic backgrounds differently. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/medic...

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel.
