Members of Congress oppose NIH's payment cut plan, urge appeals court to maintain block A group of lawmakers opposes NIH's indirect cost reimbursement cap in appeals court, supporting states and universities against the Trump administration's 15% rate limit plan.

157 House of Representatives members signed an amicus brief calling on the First Circuit to uphold a block on the NIH's planned cap on indirect cost reimbursements. Did your representative sign? In MN, only Angie Craig, Betty McCollum, and Kelly Morrison signed.

Go right now, don't wait, and read Harvard's response to the government's demands. Everyone needs to fight. Remember Columbia caving got them absolutely nothing back. You can see the gov demands from a link inside Harvard's response.

Amazing! Congrats @synbiogaolab.bsky.social!

‘One of the darkest days’: NIH purges agency leadership amid mass layoffs In shock move, four institute directors at the US biomedical agency are removed from their posts.

A hundred years ago, the average life expectancy was <50. Today, it is ~80.

What made the difference? Public Health. Public health, however, is not some magic entity happening in a vacuum - it requires people.

Without those people, there can be no Public Health. That serves no one.

Wake up.

Public Statement on Supporting Science for the Benefit of All Citizens TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE We all rely on science. Science gave us the smartphones in our pockets, the navigation systems in our cars, and life-saving medical care. We count on engineers when we drive acr...

Immigrant Nobel Prize Winners Continue To Impress Immigrants now have been awarded 40% of the Nobel Prizes won by Americans in chemistry, medicine and physics since 2000.

Maybe it's a good time to remind everyone that 40% of US Nobel Prize winners are immigrants.

America benefits when we welcome global talent. When we block international scientists, we diminish our own future

Science Under Threat in the United States: How scientists and institutions should respond Individual researchers and university leaders need to make the case for science to their elected representatives and to the public at large.

Trying to make sense of the current situation, I put together some thoughts in an op-ed for @elife.bsky.social on what we, as scientists, can do – and what institutions MUST do – to protect science right now

Yes, we are doing C. elegans as well with this pricing!

University of Minnesota Genomics Center Model Organism Sequencing Service Flyer. $25 for a 30x Drosophila genome.

Hey fellow Drosophila researchers - if you haven't heard, the UMGC is offering ultra low-cost genome sequencing! See here to learn more: z.umn.edu/UMGC-MOSS #Dros25

Great turnout at #Stand_Up_For_Science in St. Paul, MN!

Philly is out in full force to Stand Up for Science!!

Today's the day! Minnesota, let's show up and make our voices heard to support science!

Stand Up for Science rally poster. March 7, 2025 at the Minnesota State Capitol, St. Paul, MN. Find an event near you at: https://standupforscience2025.org/

I'm attending the Stand Up for Science rally at the Minnesota State Capitol this Friday, March 7th. Please join me in advocating for science funding and protesting the arbitrary and highly disruptive cuts to our nations' scientific agencies and research universities. standupforscience2025.org

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Ok scientists & those who love science 🧪: here is another exhortation. Call Congress TODAY about the freeze on NIH Council Meetings and Study Sections. Emphasize that this means NO new grants are being funded & labs will soon start to shut down and fire employees. Phone numbers are at:

Opinion | American Science is Under Attack The Trump administration hobbles research and endangers the public health.

US science is under attack
‘Americans who value the spirit of discovery — and eagerly await new ways to confront disease, strengthen our economy and improve the quality of human life — need to issue a strong outcry.’ www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/o...

Check out our paper on genetically barcoded flies! The barcodes enable multiplexed behavioral assays that are read out by sequencing or can be expressed tissue-specifically to tag cells upstream of single cell transcriptomics. Artwork below by @mdonox.bsky.social - includes a scannable barcode!
