Shutting the office door and let scream/cry commence.

After shutdown guidance:
As of today, we can confirm that we will be rescheduling all October and November grant application submission deadlines (specific dates to be announced in a future Notice).

Beginning of shutdown guidance:

For the duration of the funding lapse, applicants should continue to submit applications in accordance with the due dates outlined in the Notices of Funding Opportunities. Applications will be accepted and reviewed once operations resume.

So wait, the previous notice said to submit all grants by deadline, and now they are changing that and re-opening?

I redid mine at 3:00!

Wait do I need to redo my letter to serif font?

Screenshots of official watermarked transcript?

Oh no! I hope someone has an answer! What a nightmare.

Whoa! This so such a mess

I’m so sad to read this. Talking with Zara at posters was always an ASCB highlight. She was a beacon.

My panels seems about 1/2 done.

Whoa!

Great! thanks y'all. I wasn't sure if SROs needed to push a button to switch it the next phase, so we could see each others comments. It would be helpful to see other comments while grants are fresh in my head.

and 2) Does the IAR system allow us to see other submmitted reviews after reviews are done/due date has passed? Thanks for your knowledge!

Two questions for other NIH "reviewers" out there. If we are ad hoc on a study section that doesn't happen during a government shut down, 1) Do we still get a two week extension to turn our grants in late (since we are actually being told to continue reviewing)?

Donate to Paul Maddox for Congress in NC 11 Paul is running for Congress because there’s a sickness in Washington, and no one is working to cure it.

Dear all, A scientist from UNC Chapel Hill, Paul Maddox, is running for congress in NC for a seat currently held by a republican. If you care about science (and democracy) please consider donating to his campaign #Standupforscience secure.actblue.com/donate/paul-...

Mine is on the registry at least so there is a chance?

oh crap! I wasn't expecting that!

I actually got an email today from CSR about this. Definitely said the computer system is still working please enter your scores.

Coro1A and TRIM67 collaborate in netrin-dependent neuronal morphogenesis Ho et al. identified a novel role of coronin 1A in neuronal development. They find coronin 1A mediates growth cone and filopodial dynamics, and its interac

@chrisho.bsky.social discovered exciting roles for Coro1A in netrin-dependent neuronal morphogenesis. A fun foray into a new-to-us actin regulator.

The KASH protein UNC-83 differentially regulates kinesin-1 activity to control developmental stage-specific nuclear migration Nuclear migration plays a fundamental role in development, requiring precise spatiotemporal control of bidirectional movement through dynein and kines…

🚨Our fabulous graduate student Selin's paper on how the KASH protein UNC-83 regulates the activity of kinesin-1 to control developmental stage-specific nuclear migration is out! Another great collaboration between the Starr-Luxton and MOM labs.

Screenshot of Essay from Martin Schwartz on 'Why would anyone want to be a scientist'. An anniversary article from The Company of Biologists published in Journal of Cell Science. The first few lines are: It is difficult to fathom why anyone intelligent enough to be a scientist would actually choose to be one. Doing good science requires the utmost exertion of body, mind and spirit, yet is consistently filled with failure and rejection. But, strange even to myself, I not only don't question the unfavorable risk-to-reward ratio but consider myself astonishingly lucky to be a scientist. There are three fundamental pleasures that have sustained me through 50 years of this madness.

Why would anyone want to be a scientist?

Sharing our newest study led by the incredibly talented @federicamosti.bsky.social investigating new molecular mechanisms of human brain development. We discover a human-specific enhancer HAR1984 that influences chromatin looping to promote cortical size and folding! www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Requests that were previously submitted via the prior approval module will not be reviewed, and recipients will need to initiate the first no cost extension within the Status module by using the Extension action

I am honored to be selected as an ASCB fellow! SO much thanks to those who nominated me and provided letters of support!

And congratulations to the other Fellows selected! 🎉🥳🎊

The NIH was healthiest when pay lines were in the 20th percentile range.

We are headed into an environment where pay lines are in the 5% range.

In my entire career, I’ve only had 3 grants that scored better than 5%. And my lab is considered a successful one.

This is going to destroy science.

*tore. I guess it was a tour of a run through the mountains.
