Senate appropriators approve Labor-HHS bill with NIH bump The vote and lawmaker comments show that most senators aren't going along with the White House's proposed 40% budget cut to NIH.

BIG NEWS:

“Senate appropriators on Thursday approved an FY26 Labor-HHS bill that included a slight bump in funding for the NIH, with a strong 26–3 bipartisan vote.”

Thank you to members of the Senate Appropriations Committee on both sides of the aisle!

It was great to co-teach today’s Academic Skills workshop with the amazing @debiaselm.bsky.social 🧪✨

Quantitative Super‐Resolution Imaging of Molecular Tension Quantitative tension PAINT (qtPAINT) is a new method to quantify molecular tension at super-resolution by exploiting force-dependent DNA oligonucleotide dissociation kinetics. Combining hairpin tensi....

Check out our recent progress using 🧬 PAINT kinetics to decode molecular tension in super-resolution force imaging! 🔬 Great team effort from Seongho, Adam, Irving, and Kevin! 👏

I submitted an NIH grant in October. The proposal was based on a discovery 4 years in the making that could explain why some people with a certain genetic mutation develop autism.

The review was supposed to be yesterday, but it was abruptly cancelled.

This is why I am marching for science today.

F31-div did resurface on Sunday online (not at grants.gov as you showed me), maybe it’s related (I’m hoping it’s related since several other diversity mechanisms also resurfaced on Sunday)

NIH is purging Trump-targeted programs—but is sparing existing grants, so far Chaos extends to CDC, which is shuttering websites in “data apocalypse”

Transcription factor networks in cellular quiescence - Nature Cell Biology Recent developments in single-cell technologies have increased our understanding of how the coordinated activities of transcription factors in different quiescent cells and differentiated cells mainta...

UCLA scientists led by Dr. Hilary Coller have found that quiescent cells express transcription factors that act as "master switches" to regulate genes that suppress cell cycle progression, prevent the adoption of irreversible fates and reorganize their metabolism. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to see this paper out!! 🧪

Spatial transcriptomics of brain aging and 'spatial aging clocks' identify cells that have pro-aging or pro-rejuvenating effects on their neighbors!

Huge CONGRATS to Eric Sun and all authors! Fantastic collaboration with @jameszou.bsky.social!

The response changes induced by adaptation have been characterized in detail...

New results! Visual adaptation changes the geometry of V1 population activity: frequent stimuli elicit smaller responses but become more discriminable. Similar results are seen in ANNs trained with metabolic constraints, suggesting these changes emerge from efficient coding. bit.ly/3VJHXRn
