The Future of Multiomic Research in Neuroscience: Exclusive Insights with Dr. Matt Tegtmeyer In a conversation with Dr. Matt Tegtmeyer, we discussed his lab's work in cellular phenotyping and why they’re excited about their studies with the AVITI24.

🧠 How do cell morphology, gene expression, and disease biology intersect? Dr. Matt Tegtmeyer’s lab is using #AVITI24 to explore that question. Learn how 5D multiomic data is enabling deeper insights into neurodegeneration. bit.ly/44XqTLr

ADD YOUR NAME: Sign the Open Letter in Support of NIH Staff Join the courageous and committed National Institutes of Health (NIH) public servants by adding your name now.

*URGENT* please support NIH research and the NIH employees who are standing up for science at the risk of losing their jobs! Sign *TODAY* in support of the Bethesda Declaration. The senate appropriations committee is reviewing the NIH budget Tuesday at 10 am. SHARE widely! 🧪

Cutting the NIH—The $8 Trillion Health Care Catastrophe This JAMA Forum discusses the recent budget cuts to National Institutes of Health (NIH), the effects of these cuts on scientific research and health of individuals in the US, and the prospects for cha...

"Our calculations suggest that the proposed budgetary cuts to the NIH will create a social cost that is 16 times greater than the savings that the administration is attempting to achieve."

Nobody besides antivaxx weirdos thinks “mRNA is a bad platform.” There is no data that would lead anyone to think that and no evidence to justify saying “mRNA is a bad platform.” This guy is not a scientist.

FWIW there is already an mRNA vaccine that can cure pancreatic cancer; he thinks that’s bad

NGS directly inside cells. This data is so cool, try to attend if you can!

🚨 All staff for NSF’s Division of Equity for Excellence in STEM (EES) have just been fired.

In email to grantees: “the entire Division of Equity for Excellence in STEM has just been dissolved and the entire staff fired.”

High time for scientists, public, Congress, YOU to take action to #SaveNSF

High-Throughput Multiomics Profiling of Model Systems Using the AVITI24 Platform We present a multiomics platform comprising Teton, a detection assay system, and AVITI24, a dual-flowcell instrument that performs both cellular imaging and sequencing readout. Teton integrates a comp...

Stop by booth 4035 at #AACR if you want to see how you can directly sequencing guides in your cells (+morphology & proteins) much sooner than expected :) Also, say hi if you see me!

We invest in education and scientific research to build a stronger country and thriving democracy. President Trump’s threats against universities are lawless, and denying funding for the next medical breakthrough will make us all poorer and worse off.

Why academics must speak out against Trump and disinformation Donald Trump's second term threatens the Canadian economy and sovereignty while exacerbating misinformation. Researchers have a critical role to play in informing the public during this crisis.

Hear, hear.

SCIMaP - Impacts of Federal Cuts to Science and Medical Research Developed by an interdisciplinary research team, this website shows how funding cuts reduce economic activity and employment nationwide

The White House is proposing to cut health research leading to the loss of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Here's how your community will be impacted: scienceimpacts.org
🙏 @joshuasweitz.bsky.social

Just landed and excited to see everyone at the workshop tonight!

Congrats Nick and team!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Science impacts communities nationwide. Ongoing efforts by the WH to dismantle American leadership in science will ripple outwards: risking lives, well-being, and the economy.

‘Silence is complicity’ — universities must fight the anti-DEI crackdown Higher-education establishments must not be bullied into abandoning their mission of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion IS the heart of science and the scientific community www.nature.com/articles/d41...

📣 Don't miss out— join us in Las Vegas for our 2025 User Group Meeting to kick off #ABRF! Our CEO Molly He and CTO, SVP of R&D Michael Previte will share exclusive insights into our innovation roadmap and dive into how #AVITI24 can support your success. Register today: bit.ly/4klf2hl

Now, more than ever, the #global #science community needs to stand together - #united against those who attack science 🧪, who seek to diminish #scientists, who destroy critical programs that advance #equality, #diversity and #inclusion

Please consider to join us in signing the #MilanDeclaration ⏬

Hope to see many of my colleagues on Friday.

Science is for everyone.

For everyone to do, and for everyone to benefit from.

Weather forecast has also improved for Friday, but waterproof your posters just in case.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Abstract deadline for talks & posters: March 7

Amazing work! Also sad we are so close to really curing these diseases while we dismantle science in the US.
