BIOCHEMISTS! We are looking for a new post-doctoral colleague at BU who will be devoted to a combination of teaching Biochemistry and engaging in Research. Ask me anything! The deadline is short, but the job is awesome. #ChemJobs You can apply here: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/BU/CH/PA...

Extra kudos and thanks to all the staff at NIH and NSF and other federal funding agencies for working extra hard in very small windows of opportunity to get grants reviewed and funds released before the attention-addled federal policies change again (on an hourly basis).

My second NCR was awarded, one day early.

NIH staff must be working around the clock to push funding out.

Let's thank our POs and SROs and all NIH staff for working selflessly to keep science progressing in this sh*tshow.

Lovely to catch up with my postdoc mentor @drennanlab.bsky.social at ICBIC! & great to meet Balyn Muffley, former Drennan Lab undergrad now doing some amazing graduate work in @joanbroderick.bsky.social Lab!

Hell yeah, keep the pressure on.

If you live in one of these states, call your Senators, thank them, and remind them that there are related issues where their states and the nation needs their support and willingness to stand up.

From molecular structures to research culture: Celebrating Rosalind Franklin’s legacy | Royal Society Rosalind Franklin never lived to see the full impact of her discoveries. She didn’t witness how her work on DNA would revolutionise biology, nor did she witness the impact she would have in…

Born #OnThisDay in 1920 was Rosalind Franklin. Her work on X-ray diffraction images of DNA helped lead to the discovery of its structure, but her efforts were only recognised posthumously. Liz Sockett FRS and Isabelle Moss reflect on her enduring legacy:

As the community gets ready for #ACA2025, we're proud to present this interview with @gabbygrowsxtals.bsky.social Vivian Stojanoff and @xtalmaker.bsky.social on how to prepare for successful protein crystallisation experiments! 🥳🥳 youtu.be/m34RI500OFU?...

Inside a rusted pole, a large black tarantula with yellow hair sits in a defensive position. A hive of wasps swarms on its back, protecting its young.

The Hive Tarantula (Theraphosa vesparium) enters a symbiotic bond with a swarm of wasps, allowing them to build a colony on its abdomen. The spider protects the queen and larvae, and the wasps help feed it.
This mutualistic unit of tarantula and wasp is extremely territorial.

Congrats!!🎉

Thanks for the opportunity to do this interview @glycojones.bsky.social @guptapenn.bsky.social @markvanraaij.bsky.social @actacrystf.iucr.org!

From ATP to MRI: Mildred Cohn's Pioneering Work in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ATP is the stuff of life.  Without it, cell communication shuts down, muscles freeze, and anything requiring ready energy (which is to say, darn near everything) stops.  For biologists, it's a critica...

Mildred Cohn was born 112 years ago today. In the middle of the 20th century she pioneered the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to probe the chemical processes governing the storage and release of energy in ATP. Here is her story!

Please watch the workshop video and COMMENT by 5:00 Monday 7/14

This is the source of the "no more model organism only grants in NIH-funded research" decree.

Excited to share that my first publication as a postdoc is now published in Nature Communications!
This marks a major milestone in my research journey, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this work.

Good. Good.

Now about the NIH…

FDA-NIH Workshop: Reducing Animal Testing The FDA is hosting a workshop on reducing animal testing. The workshop is open to current FDA and NIH employees.

Does everyone know there is a comment period re: changes in animal research at NIH? I didn't. Closes July 14. The scientific community need to respond en masse. I asked university leadership to distribute to reach our colleagues not on social media, you can too
