@mit.edu has done an incredibly important service to the nation by being willing to be the first school to reject the administration's "compact."

President Kornbluth focuses—and she's right—on the principle that "scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."

Last week, Washington University made the perhaps questionable decision to award me tenure.

Congratulations!!! You deserve this so much! Thankyou for being an amazing mentor

Me and the lil one were out enjoying the beautiful weather

What is your setup like? I tried to start from seed this year and it didn’t go well. Got some starts and planted them but much cheaper to start from seed

Do you plant from seed or get starts?

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

#BIBPSWeek

#BIBPSRollCall Hi I’m J! I study intrinsically disordered proteins using single-molecule and computational techniques with a particular focus on IDRs in transcription factor fusion proteins like PAX3-FOXO1. Excited for Black in Biophysics week and looking forward to meeting new faces!

We are excited to share our EVENTS for #BlackInBiophysicsWeek 2025!!! We will be host #BIBPSWeek from Monday, 5/26 to Friday 5/30.

RT and help us spread the word!

Come and network at #BPS2025 with @blackinbiophys.bsky.social This is immediately preceding the Black in Biophysics Symposium. Great way to network, learn, and form community before we hear some great talks!

Freezing NIH funding and withdrawing from the WHO isn’t just shameful—it’s deadly. Public health relies on research, collaboration, and preparedness. These actions leave us vulnerable, and lives will be lost. Shadows rise when we abandon the light of progress and care. 🌗✨

Biophysicists are invited to mingle and network with the Black In Biophysics community! This social, preceding the Black In Biophysics Presidential symposium, will facilitate networking, establishment of mentor-mentee relationships, exchange of research and professional opportunities, and development of collaborations between members and allies of the Black In Biophysics community. Check out BlackInBiophysics.com or follow @BlackInBiophys on X or @blackinbiophys.bsky.social on Bluesky for more information from the community. Refreshments will be provided. All individuals at all levels of training who seek to establish friendships, community, and collaborations with colleagues at Black In Biophysics are invited to join.

Mark your calendars for the #BlackInBiophysics Meet and Greet and the Black In Biophysics Symposium at #BPS2025! Both events will be on February 18th, 2025 🗓️
