Really excited to be @ascbiology.bsky.social #CellBio24! Very excited to have time to talk with you all tomorrow, and grateful to @abrf.bsky.social for helping make the connections!

What are your goals for 2025 (either individually, or for your Core facility)? How do you expect changes at NIH to affect your work?

ABRF is pleased to launch its new channel on BlueSky Social to provide an additional outlet for Core facilities professionals to engage and share questions and information. We look to hearing from everyone.

Let us know if this is an effective way to support the Core community.
