Good luck on the experiments, and big congrats to Leo!!
Janelia is hosting a course on DL for bioimage analysis www.janelia.org/you-janelia/...
New paper in Science identifying adipogenin as a critical seipin regulator in LD biogenesis. So glad our lab could help a little in this monumental study. Congrats to all authors!

So well deserved! Proud to partner with you in this scientific journey and co-lead our amazing group of scientists. Super excited about what’s in store, and what is to come!
Humbled to announce that we received a New Innovator award. I thank the NIH’s civil servants for their hard work during a stressful funding cycle. I thank the leadership (and chair, Marc Diamond) at UTSW for betting on my lab’s high risk, high reward research. www.utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/art...
We have a preprint for you
EHD2 forms rings on caveolae necks, in contrast to most EHDs forming helices. We determined its structure on membranes and show that N-term acts as a spacer

Building atomic models to cryo-EM maps of huge molecules is intimidating: crowded, uncertain copy numbers, variable resolution ...
Fan Liu and team incl us, show how cross-linking MS can be used to build novel models of unknown complexes, like a giant Melbourne virus

Congratulations! Best of luck!
Check out our recent review discussing the merits of tilt series vs single micrographs for in situ cryo-EM! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Very nicely written, and so timely!
Brilliant!

Full video here, originally shared by DW. What Jeremy says is exactly right—clear, urgent, and deeply important. Cuts to science affect everyone, sooner or later, everywhere. Illness knows no ideology, no borders. This concerns us all. Watch, reflect, share, discuss.

What have we come to. And yet the additional detour is still infuriating. That drop. Maddening!
Important question and timely piece. Scientists or not, we’ll all be affected. More people need to be aware of this vote, the timeline, and what’s really at stake!
So much truth in this. Hear hear.
Yes, yes, yes. This!
Here is a link to 60 Minutes NIH segment...

The National Institutes of Health, the largest funder of biomedical research in the world, has fired 1,300 employees and cancelled more than $2 billion in federal research grants. https://cbsn.ws/4daiCrv
Chef's kiss. About damn time.
Of course we've now moved on to cats 🤦🏻♀️
Bluetorial: Non-Competitive Renewal (Continuation) Awards
Normally, multiyear NIH grants are paid with awards each year, pending administratively reviewed progress reports. “NIH” has been slow in making these awards. This has led to $1.83 B being withheld from institutions through February 2025.
They are going to make it harder for the scientists to stop, or even record, what comes next.
Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."
Dear all, Because of your help shining light on this all 15 were reinstated today. This is a huge win for science - When We Fight We Win!!!
New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.
That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.
Show me a better investment than that.

What follows will include some generalizations based on population averages of what I have experienced over the course of my career. There are, of course, exceptions in every group who are substantially more to one extreme or the other.
