A Powerful Light on Biology May Go Dark

MDI Bio Lab’s Light #Microscopy Facility (LMF) went from unknown to Top 5 in the US, in just five years. In this article, LMF Director Frederic Bonnet discusses how if #Maine loses @microscopy_in_maine due to federal funding cuts, it loses a key hub for #biomedical research.

I took my 8-year old niece to the office with me on β€œWorkplace Visit Day."

As we walked around the office, she got very upset and started crying, so l asked her what was wrong.

As my coworkers gathered round, she sobbed loudly, "Uncle Greg, where are all the clowns you said you worked with?!"

MDI Bio Lab Responds to Announced Cuts in NIH Research Grants

In case you missed it, the proposed NIH research grant caps would mean a 27% reduction in expected funding for the MDI Bio Lab. These funds are essential for supporting ongoing grants that drive our research, training, and outreach programs. Today we #StandUpForScience2025!

okayπŸ§ͺπŸ”¬ nerds, I'm pissed. Emailed a CZI fellow, asking her if CZI will bend the knee. Her reply:

Uncertainty around federal funding leaves Maine nonprofits in limbo Many nonprofits say the uncertainty surrounding future funding has left them in limbo and has put some programs in jeopardy.

What keeps science running? It’s not just brilliant mindsβ€”it's also things like electricity and lab space! MDI Bio Lab's @sciencewhizliz.bsky.social talks to @mainepublic.org about how at-risk #NIH funding supports the infrastructure behind biomedical breakthroughs. #standwithscience πŸ§ͺ🀝 🍎🧬
