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.

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.

There are “talented” scientists everywhere. It’s the resource hoarding at large institutions that is the real problem.

“You will see content from the people you follow” being a big thing to announce really shows how these morons came and destroyed everything good about the internet.

Shw mae?

Seems as good a revival post as any - happy mid-November from Oxford!

Thank you for adding me and for the initiative! Clearly a big reason why the community is taking off here so quickly. 🚀

Wonderful to see the #immunology community growing here.

The first starter pack is full (they cap at 150), so I created a second one. Let me know if you'd like to be added

Hi #ImmunoSky! So excited to rebuild my network 👋🏼 I'm an industry scientist working on large molecule/antibody therapies for inflammatory diseases. Missing the twitter of my postdoc days and looking forward to new discussions here.

Welcome - hope Oxford treats you well!

Today the UK government announced they've never spoken to any scientists, ever.

The STEM Village Immunology Seminar Series A showcase of immunology research from the global LGBTQ+ community

🚨🚨🚨The full lineup for The STEM Village Immunology Seminar Series has now been posted on our event page. Please remember to register for each talk you’re interested in! First up we have Franze Progatzky on barrier tissue immunity and microglia #QueerInSTEM #Immunosky

“Biomedical Ph.D. graduates bound for an industry job reported an expected starting salary of $110,000 in 2022, more than twice the $54,000 salary for postdoc-bound grads, according to the latest NSF survey.”

Exciting work from @nandangokhale.bsky.social Nandan plans to continue studying how RNAs scaffold immune signaling platforms as an independent investigator, and is on the job market. Hire him!

Hooray, hooray!!

He then adopts a graduate student from a troubled assistant professor who ran out of funding and had to shut their lab?

OK scisky (🧪🧬🖥️🔬🧫⚕️) what are we using for an ImmunoSky feed?

Rebuilding my network from an unplanned 9-month hiatus from the now extinct bird app (which may become indefinite). Can we find a new scientific discussion hub after all? Hello yall 👋
