Science is good. We should fund it.

Nobody is calling the Netflix merger what it is. Which is a monopoly, which is going to be TERRIBLE for the movie/TV industry.

All I want is to submit my LRP grant yet ASSIST has been down for a day's if not a week

2025 Report: U.S. Science & Federal Funding Cuts How 300+ researchers are navigating federal funding cuts in science. This report reveals strategies, challenges, and what institutions are doing to stay afloat.

Completed a submission for the BioRender 2025 Grant Support Initiative. This initiative is to provide funds to labs affected by the funding cuts in the US. I submitted a graphic/figure I made using Biorender for my Burroughs Wellcome Grant I was awarded in 2023. Here's a link to learn more:

Why We Still Need Animal Research in a World of AI and Organoids The portrayal of uncaring scientists without any thought for the animals being used in their research is far from the truth.

While I’m a big fan of new technologies that help us study human biology…there’s still no replacement for animal research! See my article in Gen News. www.genengnews.com/topics/trans...

Are you looking to start your #lab in a fantastic scientific 🧪environment, with great colleagues, and in a spectacular place to live?

Then check out our open #junior #faculty position at the Department of Oncology, University of Lausanne, Switzerland:

⏰ Deadline 27 June

Look who found me at #2025ICDB! I first met @sadewill.bsky.social at a southeast regional @socdevbio.bsky.social meeting waaaay back when - now we're both in new positions AND she's on the cusp of starting her own lab 🤩. Meet people at conferences, folks!! Science-friends are the best!

THIS JUST IN!!! #OAC rises in #impactfactor from 7.2 to 9!

OAC is now ranked 2nd in the category of Orthopaedic Journals and 5th in the category of Rheumatology Journals! Thank you everyone for your contributions to this achievement. 🤩 @profdavidhunter.bsky.social @jointsintheworld.bsky.social

Attending #ICDB2025? I will present my work titled, "Saa2/Neat1 and Grem1 positive mesenchymal stem cells respond to intervertebral disc damage by upregulating tissue-specific differentiation
markers post injury" on Saturday (6/21) at 10:50-11:05am in the San Juan Ballroom 1-3. Stop by!

One of my favorite Dev Bio Professors @rogerslabucd.bsky.social is presenting her work on Neural Crest EMT at this mornings session at #ICDB2025

So excited to see Dr. Extavour present her work!

I LOVE when past me preemptively
does the work that future me would potentially need🙌🏾

Thank you!

Does anyone on here teach a biotechnology course and would be willing to share a syllabus with me?

This faculty job search in this climate has made me weary tbh. I am tired.

This is fascinating!

It was so good to see my friend, THE @carolynchlebek.bsky.social , present her amazing postdoc work that investigates the role of diet and obesity on metabolic changes for bone health. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the WashU Ortho department. Thanks for taking the time to have lunch with us!

As a diversity grant dies, young scientists fear it will haunt their careers The Trump administration defunded the National Institute of Health's MOSAIC grant program, which launched the careers of scientists from diverse backgrounds.

"The grant was created by the first Trump administration to foster a new generation of diverse scientists in biomedical research, then defunded in the second Trump administration's ongoing purge of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs."

It's so important to have community in academia, especially now more than ever. Shout out to the WashU Black Postdoctoral Association or being my community and village at WashU and in St. Louis. Love y'all ❤️

First Principle of Academic Freedom:
Scientists must have the right to choose the paths of their studies, follow data where it leads, and freely write about it.

Second Principle of Academic Freedom:
Other scientists have the right to say we are wrong.

The end. Let’s stand up for those. 🧪

I am so so sorry

Shout out to one of my science idols @drstarbird.bsky.social for gracing WashU with her presence and presenting her cool work on TAM receptors. Thank you for sage advice and guidance!
