‘Seek Funding’ Step Added To Scientific Method

A corgi perched daintily on a pillow on a couch, so that no part of her is touching the couch directly.

Like the princess and the pea, if the princess shed a LOT, and the pea was actually a perfectly comfortable couch.

When life gives you fruit that’s starting to get a little old and soft, turn it into dessert. (Do this with new fruit too. Just make more dessert period.)

Who or what is ‘Klarna’ and why are they willing to lend you money to buy this?

Pediatric hospitals don’t have a subset of specialists/services just for Medicaid patients

Cuts to Medicaid funding affect ACCESS & AVAILABILITY of programs and services for ALL CHILDREN

Cuts in NIH funding affect ALL RESEARCH, regardless of your child’s condition, ability to pay, insurance

If I’m reading this, does that make me Jack? Cause I’m not sure how I feel about that.

few outcomes, except for 99% of FDA-approved drugs, 174 recipients of 104 Nobel Prizes, training ~30K MDs and ~10K PhDs per year to enter the workforce, and a 34% reduction in age-adjusted cancer deaths since 1990 -- the largest decrease in history

Missed the word ‘knife’ at first and was deeply perplexed how you secure airways with a pen and a ribeye.

Next time somebody says "OMG calm down, they're not cutting cancer research!" Show them this graph.

Very proud of our partner papers in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social and @cp-cellrepmethods.bsky.social from collaborative work in my lab and Benjamin Stanton's lab focused on fusion-positive #rhabdomyosarcoma. #TeamFishAndChIPs

‘We would like to acknowledge our funding sources: a roadkill taxidermist and some chef influencer who only makes historically accurate pies.’

Clearly, that is the rival group that other members in your department can form after you form yours. Fans will love the drama!

Through Autotune, all things are possible, so you just need to think about your new boy band’s branding. May I suggest N’Science?

📢 Early-career researchers: you make up a majority of the scientific workforce! How can you leverage that to advocate for change?

I find this entire scenario completely unsurprising tbh.

Nanoscale 3D DNA tracing in non-denatured cells resolves the Cohesin-dependent loop architecture of the genome in situ - Nature Communications A nanoscale 3D DNA tracing workflow visualizes Cohesin-dependent loops in single, structurally well-preserved cells. Computer simulations based on the tracing data give further insight into how Cohesi...

Our new non-denaturing nanoscale 3D DNA tracing technology provides single-cell (and sister-chromatid specific!) readout of chromatin structure with 10kb genomic resolution - Check it out!

Congratulations to Kai and Oyvind!!

Wouldn’t be my top choice, from the ‘developmentally appropriate’ POV.

What season, spam email??

Graffiti at the end of an underpass in Heidelberg saying 'LAB!'.

Some PIs will stop at nothing to motivate their lab members. 🧪

It’s sort of looking like baby botox treatments, which is certainly…a choice.

A bar graph showing the fraction of non-competitive renewal grants funded by month for Northwestern. Almost no grants were funded with budget start dates in From June 1 onwards.

The situation is still dire for institutions such as Northwestern (shown here) where non-competitive renewals are still not being issued at an appreciable rate.

I don’t know what the future will bring for my research program or my institution. But it isn’t good. None of this is good. We are being absolutely crushed, and I know we are not the only ones. www.wbur.org/news/2025/07...
