Anyone have a recommendation for a financial management software for a scientific research lab? Bonus if it has a user-friendly interface designed for non-accountants.

Hey @nature.com What's up with your share buttons? Can we please also get 🦋 and 🦣 options to not exclusively promote the network of the guy who has done more than most to harm US science?

Amazing author! Would also suggest her book, The Nightengale

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

Here’s Your Cheat Sheet for Vaccine Recommendations Backed by Science These graphics will guide you through science-based vaccine guidelines for children and adults

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Compelling for sure

A graphic for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), showing a historical portrait of Marie Skłodowska-Curie overlaid with an image of four young researchers walking down a hallway. The European Commission logo is in the top left. Text reads: "Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – €404.3 million to support postdoctoral researchers”

Choose Science. Choose Europe.

A new Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 call is now open.

With a budget of €404.3 million, it will support around 1,650 researchers from Europe and beyond.

Have the day you deserve.

Harvard rejects Trump administration's demands for deep changes The university refused to make changes it said would "dictate what private universities can teach" and "whom they can admit and hire," among other things.

We're based in the Ashworth Laboratories, King's Buildings, University of Edinburgh. Photo shows the main staircase in the entrance to the Ashworth, stone steps from the 1920s, decorated with a series of bright, colurful banners depicting the science that's tackled in the building.

I'm very pleased to have two lab positions open this week, to join our team looking at immune regulation in infection and co-infection. We're especially interested in tissue-based immunity, cytokine regulation and immune metabolism. Join us! Postdoc (3y) and research technician (12mo) posts open.

Absolutely 💯 🇺🇦 💙

Maddow played a long clip of his speech yesterday and it was fantastic

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

Trying for an R21 but it is truly soul crushing to watch the system disintegrate under our feet as I stare down the deadline.

Letter from colleague fired from USAID, sharing devastating impact and chaos that this has wrought on her life and family.

From USAID colleague, with permission to share. It's not just chaos it is devastation and tearing apart of families and communities. Not to talk of systems that kept us safe. This is just one story, multiple this by 10,000.
Is this really making America great?

No study section...no grant reviews

Are Childhood Vaccines ‘Overloading’ the Immune System? No.

Vaccines today are more efficient and contain far fewer stimulants to the immune system than some used decades ago.

December 11, 2024 Yesterday, President Joe Biden spoke at the Brookings Institution, where he gave a major speech on the American economy.

#POTUS noted that Trump is inheriting a strong economy. 🇺🇸
Biden shifted the U.S. economy from 40 years of supply-side economics that had transferred about $50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 1% and hollowed out the #middleclass.

Add me please 👋

Super helpful, thank you! How does one get added to these lovely lists?

Let me be clear. This claim from RFK Jr. is flat-out false. Scotland just reported finding no cervical cancer cases in vaccinated women -- zero, zilch, zip. This man's advice has been hurting people for years, but this lie will especially harm women. publichealthscotland.scot/news/2024/ja...
