Excited to share the first 2(!) preprints from the Kebschull Lab. The amazing @hyopilkim.bsky.social developed MAPseq2 & POINTseq and used them to map the dopaminergic cells of VTA and SNc. tl;dr MAPseq2=10x cheaper, 4x better; POINTseq=easy cell type specific barcoding; DA neurons=very cool.

3D printing has a wide variety of applications, from birthday present gimmicks to usage in state-of-the-art science projects, but did you know the technology has its roots in government-funded reseacrh? Read more: publicusaresearchbenefits.com/examples/202...

Did you know that naloxone, a treatment to reverse opioid overdoses, was originally developed thanks to publicly funded basic research? The National Institute for Drug Abuse figured out how to administer the drug via a nasal spray.

Before there was Minecraft or Fortnite, there was Tennis for Two, a simple tennis simulation played on an oscilloscope. It was originally designed by William Higinbotham at the publicly funded Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1958.

US researchers must stand up to protect freedoms, not just funding Curtailment of freedoms and disregard for the rule of law in the United States is destroying the ability of science to serve the nation’s, and the world’s, interests. Researchers can take action.

New op-ed in @nature.com: The Trump administration's assault on freedoms and the rule of law is an existential threat to US science. We urge scientists to speak out in defense of freedoms, not just funding. With Andrea Liu @upenn.edu and Sidney Nagel of UChicago! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

TOMORROW 12pm PT/3pm ET, academic workers across the country are organizing to call Senators and Representatives, particularly from historically “red” districts, to sign onto to letters supporting federal research funding. Register here to join the phonebank: form.laborbase.org/251246245216...

Calling all science advocates!! Carlos Brody+ are creating a searchable database of tangible science benefits, and they need you.

They are asking for suggestions - from brief to lengthy. The database is state-searchable, so all 50 states.

Please spread the word!

A beeswarm chart of canceled NIH grants showing the years into each project when the funding was pulled. Each dot represents a terminated grant and is colored by the number of publications associated with the project: none, one to four or five or more. The grants are separated into thee rows based on the award type (R01, U01, U54). RO1 research projects had the most terminations, which occurred at all stages of research, from the project onset to 7+ years in. Most grants were canceled short of the 4-5 year lifespan of a typical grant, and 40% of R01s had no publications at the time of termination. Projects that had been active for longer had more publications, suggesting that more findings are disseminated in the later stages of these grants.

In terminating hundreds of NIH grants, the Trump administration dumped years of investment down the drain. In my latest @opinion.bloomberg.com column, we analyzed the cancelled projects & talked to scientists to understand just how much the public loses out. It's a lot: tinyurl.com/bdey86su

WE JUST GOT DOGE’D

no funding for this year. We have to cancel the program and email 450 applicants there will be no REU program in physics at MSU.

First time in 20+ years.

I’m fucking livid, y’all.

Science under siege: Trump cuts threaten to undermine decades of research Sweeping layoffs, funding freezes and executive orders have provoked outcry among federal researchers and their university partners, who fear that science itself is under siege.

Reaching out to all Americans through the media to explain how decreasing funding of the NIH will have irreversible harm for developing therapies for all diseases. Please spread the word to your families and friends and contact your congressional representatives.

We have to stand up for science! Anyone who can join these rallies and believes that US science must be protected should come! @standupforscience.bsky.social

Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78)

I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine
