Some great advice in this article. Thanks @jenheemstra.bsky.social

Thank you for all you did for science the past few years but I completely understand that at some point you had to say enough….

Cottrell Scholar Applicants! Attend Virtual Office Hours

RCSA is offering two online sessions to help potential #CottrellScholar Award applicants prepare their proposals for submission by July 1, 2025. Please share this opportunity with eligible faculty in your department or professional circles. Thank you!

The 2nd meeting of #Scialog: Automating Chemical Laboratories has begun. Special welcome to our new AUT Fellows!

Amazingly short-sighted. May all of those blocking this type of work get C.diff. If the new vaccine passes trials it would be a game changer in combatting a horrible and very common disease.

What great scientific discussions we heard this weekend. Thanks to the fellows and facilitators for all of the hard work. Looking forward to seeing you all at our second meeting next year.

Looking forward to the start of Scialog: Neurobiology and Changing Ecosystems today! I hope everyone has safe travels to Tucson. See you this afternoon.

There is comparable long-standing list maintained by the office of research at UC Berkeley with early career funding opportunities. You might want to cross-check with what they have listed. They have been doing this for >15 yrs.

Very sad. Has one of your programs been directly affected?

Sorry to hear this. Not the first and won’t be the last. Protect the trainees as best you can. They have the fewest resources to weather these storms.

And the trickle down begins. This is just the start.

Sad but not surprised

36 Hours in Tucson, Ariz. Stargaze from desert observatories, try traditional Sonoran spirits and hit the local trails in Arizona’s mountain-ringed second city.

Some great ideas for those coming to Tucson. Desert museum and Sabino Canyon are both terrific. I also recommend Carnitas la Yoca for authentic Sonoran food. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Worth reading if you mentor PhD students…
