Taking D’Angelo when there’s an 80 year old decrepit orange clown around is really unfair…

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

A persistent intracellular bridge and cell cycle misregulation enable polar body cell divisions and tumor formation in Mos-deficient eggs Mammalian female meiosis is uniquely regulated to produce a developmentally competent egg capable of supporting embryogenesis. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes segregate, with half extruded in...

Current and former members of the NIH community have valuable personal perspectives to share about the devastation that is happening to US biomedical research, our federal agencies, and our democracy. This starter pack is a great way to hear what they have to say and what you can do about it.

All I want is a TT faculty position and the country to come together to resist authoritarianism. Is that so much to ask??

Lol. Sorry to say, Jay, but we’ve been doing this.

We just never saw the need to make it into a stupid slogan that matches the inside of **ump’s penthouse 🙄

Fig. 2. The sex-converted soma performs collective rotation similar to female follicle cells. (A-C) Time-lapse imaging of somatic expression of UAS tubulin::GFP (green) and UAS anillin::RFP (magenta) in a control testis (A), a control ovary (B) and a 5D chinmoRNAi testis (C). White outlines circle groups of cells that are either non-migratory or migratory. Curved arrows indicate directional migration of cells. (A′-C′) Time-lapse imaging of somatic nuclei (gray) in a control testis (A′), a control ovary (B′) and a 5D chinmoRNAi testis (C′). Yellow transparent dots indicate cell migration over time. Asterisks in A-C′ indicate stem cell niches. Each image is composed of one or two z-slices. Images are representative of 10/10 testes (A), 10/10 ovarioles (B) and 7/8 testes with complete somatic epithelium.

Sex-converted testis somatic cells acquire female-specific behaviors and alter XY germline identity

@morielab.bsky.social proudly presents a tool to induce, in S. cerevisiae, DNA double strand breaks in a site-specific AND in a dose-dependent manner, in a very simple way: just transform two plasmids!!! It allows you to assess many aspects of DNA damage signaling & repair!

I hope to take a PhD student in the coming application cycle. Please reach out if you are interested in joining our lab in EEB at Yale, especially if interested in working on the natural history/ phylogenetics/ morphology/ population biology/ development/ genomics of siphonophores. dunnlab.org

You do not have to say “pro vaccine groups.” You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.

Today, my NIH colleagues and I did something scary but really important. We spoke up about egregious harms we are seeing happen to research participants and public health through thoughtless and politicized policies at NIH. 🧵1/3

Love this!! Congrats to your student, and yay to making things light in these dark times ❤️

Innovate Carolina at UNC Chapel Hill is hiring a PhD level Commercialization Fellow. The fellow will help @uncchapelhill.bsky.social researchers conceptualize & commercialize novel technologies. The Innovate Carolina team is fabulous - check out the job posting:

Every scientist should discuss the consequences of the NIH and NSF grant terminations and delays and failure to fund at their home institution at the end of a talk or seminar. Even if a scientist’s own funding is not threatened, I GUARANTEE there is someone at their institution affected.

Perhaps relevant as scientists weather a range of attacks, our team (led by UW research scientist Rachel Moran) published a paper describing how a slew of public records requests impacted our work & what that means for collaborative research in adversarial spaces & times: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

Let’s stand up. I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I gotta try.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Proud of Harvard for pushing back, exercising some creativity, and, maybe, helping folks get some needed education.

Harvard is making many of their online government courses FREE.

I just signed up for "Citizen Politics in America".

They even asked me my Gender.

Is there a germ cell BlueSky starter pack?

End of Keynote speech where Dr. Joshua Hall received a gift

I was PREP cohort #1. Today was the LAST UNC PREP symposium. Watching Dr. Joshua Hall, who was the Director my year and 11 years after, give the closing keynote was 😭🥹

But what was built cannot be undone. Our community is strong and all 137 of us are not going anywhere 💪🏾

Good question. Another important question: in this current environment, is every position in America important?

I don’t know the answer to either question.
