Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.

Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

Cell-type-targeted mitochondrial transplantation rescues cell degeneration - Nature MitoCatch is a cell-type-specific mitochondrion-targeting system that links mitochondria and the cell surface by protein binders and delivers mitochondria into the target cell.

Congratulations to Tim @timayupov.bsky.social, Kika @vmorenojuan.bsky.social and everyone on the team for their wonderful paper on the targeted delivery of mitochondria published in Nature today 🥳 Couldn’t be prouder of you! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Wow, so awesome!!!!

Loving the book recommendations, please keep them coming!

Our paper is now out in Science! Super excited to share our discovery that #mitochondria #pearling is the elusive mechanism driving the regular distribution and inheritance of #mtDNA nucleoids 🧬 [1/6]

I also don't think PIs understand how chasing this high-impact factor clout is detrimental to very young scientists. From our point of view it seems impossible to stay in science if this is the bar we have to reach every time. And if we can't it's game over.

Why did you have to point this out? Now I can never unsee it 😭😭

Super cool, Ines!!!!

Self-renewal of neuronal mitochondria through asymmetric division - preLights Neurons contain “hotspots” for mitochondrial biogenesis at distal branch points

The moment to celebrate a paper is when it’s shared with the world, not when it passes the arbitrary hurdle of “acceptance”

Schwarz lab @bostonchildrens.bsky.social identify a mechanism coupling mitochondrial movement to energy demand. When energy levels are low, the energy-sensing kinase AMPK phosphorylates the motor/adaptor protein TRAK1, arresting #mitochondria via the #actin #cytoskeleton. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

It’s not so much that Trump & co don’t think slavery was important, they want to remove this history precisely *because* of how important it was. They don’t want people to learn about slavery because then people would understand how it continues to shape the landscape of inequality in America today.
