Congratulations, Ada!
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”
This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to three scientists for discovering a class of immune cells that help to prevent the body from attacking its own tissues

#CallForPapers 📣 We're accepting submissions on the topic of @sgpweb.bsky.social's 2025 Meeting "Tracing the Path of Chloride: from Ion Channels and Transporters to Physiology & Therapeutics” (www.sgp2025.com) – with Guest Editors Anne Carlson and Zhaozhu Qiu! 👉 rupress.org/JGP/pages/ca...
Large-pore channels: the Transformers of membrane proteins, versatile, dramatic, and never just selective or passive conduits.
Not just simple (typical) ion channels, they’re molecular multitaskers we’re beginning to comprehend.
Don’t miss the first-ever special issue dedicated to this!
📣 #CallForPapers 📣 on the topic of the inaugural in-person Electrophysiology & Ion Channel (EpIC) meeting, “Emerging Research on Ion Channels in Health & Disease” – w/ Guest Editors Jelena Baranovic, Osama Harraz, Conor McClenaghan, & Lejla Zubcevic 👉 rupress.org/JGP/pages/ca...
Exciting news! The EPIC/SGP Symposium at UC Davis will be accompanied by a special issue in the Journal of General Physiology. Stay tuned for more details about this incredible event celebrating cutting-edge research on ion channels!
Many warned me about the risks of speaking up publicly for science. I’m here to say I’ve faced no retaliation. On the contrary, I’ve received support, appreciation, and even some positive outcomes. Do what you can to save 🧪
Join us for the 11th Intnl #GDTcells conf in Toronto (May 20-23) as we celebrate emerging research and inspire future directions. I will be wearing two hats: conf organizer and repping #GDTcellclub w/ @eberlmat.bsky.social. Pls come say hi! @forum-gd.bsky.social

Gave a talk at my parents’ retirement community to describe how science is done, and what is at stake. There was a ton of interest, and anyone can do this. Get the word out about how science affects everyone. I’m happy to share slides with anyone who asks- just get in touch! youtu.be/BY_SFgi-Cig

SCAM ALERT. This is a fake conference that ripped off my and other people’s names to trick people into registering. There is no such conference that I or the others shown were invited or agreed to. We are working to try to get this fraud taken down from the web.

#CallForPapers! Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, chloride channel and transporter structures and biophysical properties, regulatory mechanisms, pharmacology, physiological functions, disease relevance, and drug discovery. 👉 rupress.org/JGP/pages/ca...
Here's our newest study: we reveal the molecular principles of neuronal excitation by glutamate, and how physiological temperatures influence this process.

Congratulations Ying-Han Chen and Kim Zaldana for showing how B cells are altered when lab mice 🐭 are released outdoors! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Here’s some context for the paper followed by how gov’t 💰 + other sources combine to make these types of studies possible 1/n
Now in #Science #Immunology: @ejohnwherry.bsky.social & al use Tox-inducible KO mice to show that continuous #TOX expression in established exhausted #CD8 #Tcells (Tex cells) acts as enduring epigenetic control to reinforce Tex cell fate. Findings suggest TOX might be useful therapeutic target!
Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025!

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.

It’s wild that US NIH study sections—literally the backbone of biomedical research funding and future medicines—didn’t miss a single session during the pandemic. Not one. And yet, here we are…
The NIH diversity supplement pages have all been pulled down. What is a diversity supplement and why should the public care? A diversity supplement is funding to help diversify the research workforce. You may be wondering, “so what?”. Let me explain. www.nigms.nih.gov/Pages/PageNo...
