My 5th grader's world is imploding with long division of decimals homework. My world is imploding as my defense is in 3 months. Its funny to see how life's challenges evolve over time. We will conquer long division and this defense 🤣

Welcome to the HHMI family 💙💙💙

Meet Kyndall Nicholas, an HHMI Gilliam Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania (@upenn.edu). She studies how our everyday diet can build resilience against traumatic brain injury, asking what we can eat daily to help protect our brains.

A Potent Inhibitor of Caspase-8 Based on the IL-18 Tetrapeptide Sequence Reveals Shared Specificities between Inflammatory and Apoptotic Initiator Caspases Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that act as molecular scissors to cleave substrates and regulate biological processes, such as programmed cell death and inflammation. Extensive efforts hav...

Juneteenth is a story of freedom hard-won & resilience hard-kept—honoring Black history & the ongoing fight for justice. At Penn Medicine, Research Trainee Affairs advances discovery rooted in respect, access & opportunity—values that shape our comprehensive education, training & outreach mission.

Truly grateful and honored to have had the opportunity to share my work at the Bioorganic GRC and represent the Burslem lab 💙

Excited to see this out in @science.org today!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A graphic for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), showing a historical portrait of Marie Skłodowska-Curie overlaid with an image of four young researchers walking down a hallway. The European Commission logo is in the top left. Text reads: "Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – €404.3 million to support postdoctoral researchers”

Choose Science. Choose Europe.

A new Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 call is now open.

With a budget of €404.3 million, it will support around 1,650 researchers from Europe and beyond.

Apply by 10 September → europa.eu/!fBTMgF

I am sending so much love to my colleagues at NIH today. They are incredible people and scientists and don’t serve any of this. 💔

@vangeliqueallen.bsky.social and I are @hhmi.org Gilliam Fellows who started @science-scope.bsky.social !

This Saturday in Carrboro, NC, we will be launching a new SciComm Series called “From Lab to Lager”, where labs partner with local breweries to share their research on beer labels!

Acetylation: a new target for protein degradation in cancer Acetylation is an increasing area of focus for cancer research as it is closely related to a variety of cellular processes through modulation of histo…

New paper online today! Check out @cewc9.bsky.socials review on how acetylation mediated protein degradation impacts cancer! Thanks for the invite to contribute to the 10th anniversary special issue of Trends in Cancer! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures.

I'm sorry but how, just how, is one suppose to focus on why there are no colonies on their agar plate like a normal PhD student when the US scientific community is getting smacked around left, right, and center. Now, more than ever, take care of your mental health and well being 🩵
