Excited that Lena's undergraduate research efforts have been recognized by funding in the form of a Magellan Scholar Grant. We look forward to learning more about how RTK-mediated signaling allows fat tissue to communicate to ovarian tissue in #drosophila. 🪰🔬

I’m so excited to share that I’ve accepted an assistant professor position at the University of Colorado Anschutz, BMG department and Barbara Davis Diabetes center! I’m so grateful to many who have helped me get here, especially mentors at Joslin, @hmsbpa.bsky.social @leadingedgeprogram.bsky.social

Listed are some of the many NIH research training programs that were terminated! Together, these programs supported thousands of trainees, whose careers are now in limbo. Such a great loss for discovery and innovation. We must protect our next generation of scientists!

August 22, 2025 Dear Director Bhattacharya: I write to you regarding your plans after the Supreme Court ruling yesterday. As you know, the Supreme Court did allow a stay on the required grant reinstatements based on a controversial jurisdictional issue but also found that the grant termination processes used were likely illegal. I know you are deeply concerned about public trust in NIH. I hope that you understand that proceeding to fail to reinstate or to re-terminate grants that had been found to have been illegally terminated will not increase the public trust in NIH. This would also be substantially damaging to science.

I just sent this email to Director Bhattacharya and am sending him a hard copy by registered mail.

A joint statement with @savehealthresearch.bsky.social on the supreme courts decision today that will pave the way for hundreds of millions of dollars in NIH grant terminations. We are heartbroken and stand with the extramural community during this devastating time.

Tell the Supreme Court: No Stay. Hands off NIH The Supreme Court is poised to allow Trump to illegally terminate NIH grants. Let's speak out. There is not much time.

The Supreme Court is reviewing a vitally important NIH case on its shadow docket.

It is likely that the Court will back Trump, and say his (illegal) grant terminations are ok.

We must speak up now.

🚨 Action alert: Two days left!!

Help protect NSF/NIH from political interference.

👎 A new rule (Sched. F) would allow for replacing career program officers with political appointees.

➡️ Action: Object here by THIS FRIDAY. Comments can be brief and/or anonymous. Helps future litigation.

I really hope this is not true about MIRA! People keep suggesting apply for regular R01, and I was like I have ideas but no preliminary data yet. The Katz would have been great. I don’t know if people are oblivious of facts or want to say positive things

So true. I just saw Katz Early Stage investigator R01 is ending 😭

If I was hunting for a postdoc, I would definitely apply for this one! Dr. Gibbs truly cares about mentoring and pursuing really cool science. Apply! Apply!
