Interacting with the physiology course changed my scientific career in such a positive way, I would highly recommend to apply!

What's the reason? The government is shut down and the president is over seas?

UC alumni graduate degree outcomes Graduate degree outcomes of UC graduates and the different post-UC earnings trajectories associated with the graduate degree completed.

Now this is how you use data effectively. The UC graduate programs have always been ahead of the curve with data-informed decisions, and interactive transparency like this is how California continues to be a trailblazer in 2025.

I saw a resident give chocolate bars to National Guards patrolling DC's gorgeous Dupont Circle neighborhood. Never heard of a reverse hearts and minds program.

Wish I could have presented today on my single nucleus multiome analysis of the Substantia Nigra, one of the many effects of a government shutdown on dementia research #ASHG25 #governmentshutdown

I can't present my planned work , on single nuclei multiome analysis of neurodegeneration in the Substantia Nigra due to the federal government shutdown, but hit me up to chat about single cell pipelines at #ASHG2025!

Position type: Postdoctoral Fellowship at the intramural NIH
Position Title: Quantitative Systems Immunology Fellow
Position description: A postdoctoral fellowship is available at the National Institute on Aging, NIH, for investigating systems and dynamic basis of immune cell fate decision. We developed novel reporter mouse strains, quantitative live cell imaging methods, and chromatin assays to examine how individual immune cells respond to various stimuli with lineage and ligand specificity. The successful applicant will work in the laboratory of Myong-Hee (Mia) Sung located in the Baltimore campus (https://irp.nih.gov/pi/myong-hee-sung). We are seeking highly motivated recent Ph.D. scientists interested in applying systems cell biology approaches to fundamental problems in immunology, neuroinflammation, and aging. Relevant publications from the lab include Sung MH et al. PLos One 2009 (PMID: 19787057); Sung MH et al. Sci Signal 2014 (PMID: 24425788); Oh KS et al. Immunity 2017 (PMID: 28801231); Rahman SMT et al. Cell Rep 2022 (PMID: 36417863); Aqdas M and Sung MH. Trends Immunol 2023 (PMID: 36473794);
Rahman SMT et al. Cell Rep 2024 (PMID: 38483906). An ideal candidate will have a strong interest in utilizing quantitative approaches, some experience with microscopy, and an understanding of (or a strong motivation to learn) basic immunology. To apply, please send a cover letter, CV, and contact information for 3 references to: sungm@mail.nih.gov.
Employer Name: NIH / National Institute on Aging / Transcription Systems Dynamics and Biology Unit.
Position Location: Baltimore, Maryland, USA (in-person)
Application Deadline: Open until filled

Even if you forget the life-saving research that you or a loved one might need someday, the NIH is one of the nations great economic powerhouses, the bedrock of the US's biomedical industry. The conversation should be about increasing funding.

This is figure 1, which shows pasteurisation effectively inactivates influenza viruses in milk.

This is figure 1, which shows pasteurisation effectively inactivates influenza viruses in milk.

In response to the emergence of H5N1 influenza A viruses as a novel pathogen of cattle, a study in Nature Communications shows that pasteurisation of cows’ milk should effectively inactivate the virus, but that it remains infectious in unpasteurised milk. https://go.nature.com/3WRQ8fb πŸ§ͺ
