The University of Pittsburgh pauses its Ph.D. admissions process amid research funding uncertainty A spokesperson for the University told WESA Friday that the school has "temporarily paused additional Ph.D. offers of admission," while Pitt works to understand how proposed federal funding cuts could...

This will directly affect the future, & the present, of Pennsylvania & the country. Jonas Salk invented the Polio vaccine at Pitt. Pitt helped unlock DNA & pioneered organ transplants. Musk is offering a future where Americans are poorer, sicker, & less free. One word: NO

A truly depressing article in #Nature listing of all the damage done to #science in the US by the Trump administration in just one month

💔 for so many friends and colleagues there

Awesome, would you please add me too?

Thanks for this. I would love to be added.

Bluesky already feels like the perfect new home! With over 39,000 scientists here, the starter packs made connecting so easy. The community map showing how fields naturally cluster and overlap is incredible—it’s amazing to see science so interconnected.

Moving a lab is tough—especially as the only PhD student relocating with your PI while moving house & family too. We made it work thanks to my lab & amazing family.If you’re in the same situation don’t hesitate to reach out. I remember scouring forums when I got the news. 💙 #AcademicLife #PhDJourney

Amazing, thank you 😊

Would please add me to this list as well? Thank you!

This is amazing, thank you!!!

Please don't ever sell this platform.

This is great, thank you! We now need a Chromosomal Instability (CIN) starter pack. 🔥

I am really enjoying the surge of people to bluesky but still kind of missing the VERY early career group of people! (Aging in academia is a funny thing) - I went ahead and made this starter pack go.bsky.app/Jq8YaQM - if you would like to be removed/added please let me know

Yes please!

Please add me as well; this is a great pack!!

We need a starter pack like this for Chromosomal Instability. Let’s bring on the CIN!🔥

Thank you for this!!!

Phew, left X! I’m a Ph.D. candidate at UW-Madison (@McArdleLab) and a visiting grad student in the Burkard Lab at the University of Iowa, studying how chromosomal instability (CIN) and aneuploidy shape tumor evolution .

Would love to connect and chat about CIN, aneuploidy, or cancer research!😍
