ink and watercolor painting of two dogs in a gentle, tender embrace. one dog is white, the other is red. within the white dog is an exposed heart. the heart and the red dog have the same color palette. it is to represent vulnerability in tender intimacy, and bravely opening oneself to another and desire to feel unity with another individual.

a black wolf staring at the viewer behind a tangle of venous red vines. three swords hang behind the wolf in the upper left portion of the composition

"the thing" fan artwork. the dog from the film hangs suspended with fleshy tendrils reaching toward the lower half of the artwork

banded snake shedding its skin, revealing the trans flag colors partially obscured by roses. text below reads "remake yourself"

it's my birthday. i made it to 40. abt 30 years of it has been mostly art-making in some way, tradition and digital. i don't plan on giving that up any time soon.

share my art, please - i am still available for work.

OMG!!! This is fantastic news! Big congrats 🎂 🎉🎈 and you both look beautiful and amazing.

You look beautiful! Sorry about the ex FIL.

Excited to announce that I’ll be presenting at the upcoming PTSD Research Conference on May 5-6, 2025, in Boston!

🚨 With federal funding dwindling, we’ve created a starter pack of funding bodies offering #grants for #research🔬

📣 Repost & 💙 to connect #researchers with #funding 💵 💶 💷

I am doing a career panel today in person which means I have to wear a collared shirt. Horrible. Terrible. I hate the concept of professionalism. A curse upon shirts that are not t-shirts.

“We dont take an oath to a king.” 👏👏👏👏

To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay2025 @drniamhryan.bsky.social and @jmkyang.bsky.social have been contacting some of the incredible #WomeninSTEM working in the PGC! Stay tuned as we hear about their research, goals and some of the women who have supported their journeys. #WomenSupportingWomen

Who is Dr. Jay Bhattacharya? Trump’s pick to lead the NIH faces Senate confirmation hearing As director, Bhattacharya would oversee the nation's top medical research agency, which is set to undergo drastic changes.

NBC News story about NIH Director nominee...Not a great fit for NIH and, perhaps, a destructive agenda.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Just received notice that our grant was terminated. 5R24AG066599-03

What are we becoming?

NIH partially lifts freeze on funding process for medical research Thousands of grant applications had been stalled when the Trump administration blocked the National Institutes of Health from posting notices to the Federal Register.

Here's hoping this works out

Indirect rates are not determined by NIH. Instead, they are the product of elaborate negotiations between each institution and the “cognizant federal agency” according to an Office of Management and Budget document, Circular A-21.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

"Many of my good friends have their funding withdrawn or frozen based on the DEIA wording such as 'diverse microbes'" a scientist reliant on federal research grants told me, adding NSF proposals with terms including 'disabilities' and 'female' have been put on hold

I'm a reporter at NBC News and I'm interested in speaking with people who are familiar with the specific technical details of onboarding DOGE staff at the federal agency level — USAID or CFPB or wherever. You can reach me on Signal at: davidingram.77. I can honor requests for anonymity.

The indirect cost rate for NIH has averaged between 27% and 28% - it is now capped at 15% … this may not sound like much but the impact will be huge… if institutions dont speak out now, then when? #AcademicSky 🧪

This is beautiful 👇

I made a "gene info" custom GPT. Paste in a list of human gene symbols. It'll run some python code against a custom knowledge base to provide information about those genes (from RefSeq) https://chatgpt.com/g/g-677277d002608191887af1a9c0a9e832-gene-info 🧵 1/4 🧬🖥️🧪

I used to be insecure before publishing my scientific work. Until I realised. If:
1️⃣it got past co-authors, reviewers & editors it can't be that bad
2️⃣there's one minor mistake in 50pg manuscript, it's not bad odds
3️⃣there are chronic haters in palaeo you can't please
4️⃣they can write a response paper
