Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

The Gutting of America’s Medical Research: Here Is Every Canceled or Delayed N.I.H. Grant Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated.

“I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.”

Excited to be in Milan for #eshg2025! If you’re interested in leading analysis of large, diverse cohorts with WGS and cellular genomic data in Australia, I’d be keen to chat - we’re looking to fill a variety of senior comp bio roles: populationgenomics.org.au/careers/ #eshg25

Likewise, Marija! Definitely keeping in touch!

Thanks Giannina for organizing this at @canacn.bsky.social. It was so much fun!

It was great seeing you and @arrudacarvalho.bsky.social again and meeting so many new friends!

Congrats!

Huge congratulations!

To all those descending onto Toronto for the @canacn.bsky.social annual meeting, as program chair I hope you have an exciting meeting and enjoy our featured speakers @franklandlab.bsky.social

Join us at CAN for genomic fun!

OPT is the program that allows foreign students graduating with STEM degrees stay and work for up to three years. Because of the oversubscribed H-1B lottery, OPT is one of the main ways that foreign students manage to transition to jobs in the US.

Ending it would destroy a major STEM pipeline.

If you are at @canacn.bsky.social , don't miss our symposium on Thurs 1:30 pm:

A genomics approach towards understanding sex differences in cognition, mental health, and neurodevelopment.

See you there!

Screenshot of NIMH BRAINS funding opportunity. The expiration date is now before the next application due date.

NIH moved up the expiration date for some funding opportunities, effectively *canceling* the next application date without removing it from the standard table. I can't even imagine how many people are still prepping these grants.
