🙏 We need your help 🙏

The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like.

We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants:

NSF: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni...

If it's a cover band, I'd go with Steepinwolf, otherwise I think it has to be Steeped Terrøir 😁

Spring is not too far away, which means we've started our planning for the 9th NEGCM - New England Glycochemistry Meeting! Save the date - June 14, 2025! We have an excellent line-up of speakers, and opportunities for poster presentations as well!

So what does that make deprotonation - dehydronation? And, was Luke really using hydron torpedos on the Death Star?

breathe deep this despair
bathe it with pulsating life
exhale only hope

Pharma CEOS Speaking Up, Damn It

I wrote last week urging Pharma CEOs to speak up about the Trump administration. Unfortunately, some of them have.

A map-haiku

aahh ballots... 'too soon!’ , & also 'can’t come soon enough!’ 😱

time weathers us all
inures us to joy and grief
this we must resist
5/5

unrestrained orders
courting stays of injustice
bench lined barricades

rubicon moments
littered across history
recycled conflicts

those bearing witness
press on, filing through darkness
dim beacons of truth

with each breath, each step
another dawn comes closer
…and then another
4/n

melting pots take flight
fragile white porcelain bowls
filled with the foulest ____

strips, canals, islands
off-menu new world order
rapacious green deals

civics forsaken
education verboten
scholars must newspeak

he she they oy vey
transformative transitions
engender crises
3/n

digital blitzkrieg
marauding tech-bro brown shirts
hired rich stags fire

eviscerating
elongated overreach
long knives dipped in musk

sadistic Milgrams
pushing levers of power
deep sixing deep state

social truths sowing
xtreme metamorphoses
thread misinformed scrolls
2/n

one score and one days…
enduring, not yet perished
imperfect union

interminable
constitution for chaos
trumps rising furor

alliances taxed
unaided, goodwill hunted
purging a nation

woke and fast asleep
invertebrate resistance
Hindenburg flashbacks

What's Happening Inside the NIH and NSF

A long post about what’s happening to the science funding agencies in the US and why. As mentioned, this one just kept getting longer even as I kept stripping curse words from it.

To everyone who has found me via the mucus/mucin starter pack, I can also recommend our Glyco starter pack, if you are interested more in the sugar part. As always drop me a message if you want to get in. We’ll soon start vol 2. go.bsky.app/QTL6EqT
