Applications are now open for the 4th edition of the “Ecole de Physique des Houches” on Fluorescence Markers for Advanced Microscopies, a WE-Heraeus seminar.
March 15th-20th 2026
Join us to learn everything you wanted to know about Fluorescent Markers for advanced microscopies.

Antibiotic research at Harvard lab threatened by federal funding cuts Microbiologist Michael Baym studies antibiotic resistance at Harvard Medical School. He lost millions in federal funding this week.

"I'm still in shock. I know that there have been political issues around Harvard in recent weeks, but antibiotic resistance isn't one of them." My conversation with Harvard microbiologist @baym.lol, one of many researchers there who just lost millions in fed. grants. www.wbur.org/news/2025/05...

NIH Grants Fueled $95 Billion In FY 2024 Economic Activity, Finds New Report National Institutes of Health grants generated almost $95 billion in economic activity nationwide in FY 2024 according to a new report by United for Medical Research.

$95 b return on a $37 b investment. Federally funded research is a good return - even without, you know, remarkably effective new treatments for cancer, curing genetic disorders, making progress and improving the lives of those with neurodegenerative disease, etc. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Looking between cells Before arriving at Janelia three years ago, Postdoctoral Scientist Antonio Fiore was designing and building optical instruments like microscopes and spectrometers. Fiore, a physicist by training,

🧪Rhobo6, a light microscopy probe developed by the Pedram Lab & collaborators, gives scientists an unprecedented look at the extracellular matrix—the collection of organized molecular structures that fills the spaces between cells in our bodies.

the lab is recruiting scientists! we are particularly excited about engineering fluorescent proteins and biosensors using high-throughput assays and machine learning. questions? please get in touch!

Opinion | Colleges Should Be More Than Just Vocational Schools Elected officials have pushed vocational programs at the expense of the liberal arts. That’s hurting America.

As West Virginia University plans to cut apparently its entire foreign language program, it's whole graduate program in math and a slew of other traditional liberal arts, it seems worth resurfacing my NYTimes piece from last April:

Maui Aloha: The Peopleʻs Response Support our frontline grassroots heroes mobilizing to mālama ʻohana affected by the wildfires on Maui Hawaiʻi People’s Fund stands in solidarity and full support with those individuals and organ...

I asked an Indigenous colleague in Hawai'i where people can donate to and these were his suggestions (1/2):
