The paper “shows that women, particularly those early in their careers, were disproportionately affected by terminations, even though they receive less funding from the NIH in general.”
It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex
Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich
Again, when people say trust in higher ed is down, I genuinely want to know whose trust hasn't been harmed. Why would anyone assume I feel great about my sector when it did things like this?
Of all the grotesque hauntings of the heyday of colonialism that have come to curse our present, this might be the most horrific I have thus far seen. A study that exposes African babies to a lethal virus just to “prove” vaccines don’t work is not science. It’s colonial violence.
Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations. Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.” “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.
Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

Could a vertebrate family member (NmU) complement the action of PTH? It seems by HuGE score Nmu is somewhat associated with circulating calcium…

For the mineral metabolism-heads, check out this paper: Drosophila (bone-less, PTH-less, the horror!) control extracellular Ca2+ by releasing a neuropeptide in low Ca2+, which acts on receptors in Malpighian tubules to induce Ca mobilization from mineralized granules. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Scientific breakthroughs are rarely unique; someone else would’ve made them soon enough. But when prominent scientists cause harm, that harm isn’t inevitable; the world might simply have been better had the harm not been inflicted.

🦴 Bone health is having a moment! #AmyPoehler dropped some osteoporosis awareness earlier this year.
In honor of #WorldOsteoporosisDay this month, we want to spotlight celebs who speak on bone health. 💬 Who’s your fave?

Thank you to ASBMR for the support for Gerald, a fantastic postdoc in the lab! He is giving a talk on his intriguing findings on osteocytic citrate production in CKD at 4:30 today (1054), come check it out! #ASBMR2025
Group of 5 researchers hiking Mt Rainier
4 people hiking near some cliffs
Some of the lab arrived early for #ASBMR2025 to do some hiking at Mt. Rainier! Our white sneakers may be a bit dirty, but we are excited to share them and our science!
I am heartbroken and enraged that our hospital systems are abandoning trans people. Truly, disgusted that they are bowing down to our fascist government. I know some places are fighting, and I'm grateful for those doctors.
For me, this echoes what happened with abortion around the country.

To those attending #ASBMR2025 consider making a pre- or post- conf. excursion to Mt. Rainier!
We are visiting where I grew up near the national park entrance, and the wildflowers at the mountain are in full bloom!
Let me know if you want tips in or out of the national park!

Harvard existed before the Bill of Rights so I shouldn’t be surprised that it doesn’t feel especially attached to it
UPDATED: Ono spent much of the meeting dodging direct answers. When pressed on Covid mandates — with the questioner pointing out that as an immunologist, he must have an opinion — he answered: “I’m a mouse doctor. I’m a test tube kind of guy.” www.chronicle.com/article/stat...
Thinking of this @propublica.org reporting today about stillbirths of unvaccinated parents during the Delta wave, before CDC had explicitly recommended COVID vaccines for pregnant people and the damage the virus did to the placentas.

When Kseniia Petrova moved from Russia to join a lab at Harvard Medical School, it felt like a dream. Now she’s been held for three months in an ICE facility in Louisiana.
This is US police stuff. Black folks kept telling you that but people would rather believe we are all criminals who deserve extrajudicial violence. And yes i will "WHY DIDN'T YOU LISTEN?!" every time you guys are shocked by a thing that's neither new nor foreign.
“While in the interrogation room, Makled said, a man in plain clothes entered and began speaking to him. He said he recalls the man telling him: ‘We know you're a lawyer. We know you take on big cases.’”
This is never justified, but to do this to someone who wrote an op-ed…
THE WASHINGTON STATE BILL TO DENY GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE IS DEAD.

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the nation’s largest private funder of biomedical research, yesterday killed a $60 million program aimed at making universities’ STEM education more inclusive. scim.ag/3EtS0US
It is so disappointing to see @hhmi.bsky.social capitulate to fascists. One of the wealthiest philanthropies in the country cutting off their grant funding to promote retention of diverse undergrads in science in order to please this administration is pathetic. www.statnews.com/2025/02/06/h...
And the funding announcement for diversity supplements now has been updated to expire today. Supplements are so important to the careers of junior scientists. This is crushing for post docs and early career faculty
