you make it sound so intentional lol

Chickenshit podcaster.

The extreme competency of NASA will be rewarded by…

massive funding cuts.

Ten years of CRISPR screens

We should do a bracket of screens, winner is declared THE CRISPIEST

Republicans in Congress support this.

It’s that simple

Breaking News:
It’s being reported JD Vance and Mike Johnson are so infuriated by trumps vulgar tweet on Easter Sunday they are going to do absolutely nothing.

Multiple Myeloma. 4-generations of pharma-driven drug discovery.

Melanoma. Metastatic melanoma was basically a death sentence as recently as 2008. Immunotherapy (which was my job!!) has completely transformed outcomes for metastatic melanoma).

Here are a couple of examples. Lung cancer survival rates for EGFR+ mutated Lung cancer.

Imagine being so crippled by your fear of ideas that you need to shut down NEH.

There are a lot of countries that allow birthright citizenship, but there is only one stupid enough to make you president.

94th Harden Conference by @lapassmore.bsky.social, Dana Branzei, me with @biochemsoc.bsky.social.

The Semantics and Mechanisms of Enhancers and Promoters: “What Is True for E. coli Is True for the Elephant, Only More So” Three fundamental classes of gene regulatory elements were identified in Escherichia coli in the 1960s: operators bound by repressor proteins, promoters bound by the basic transcription machinery, and...

Within the field of transcription, the distinctive style of Mark Ptashne and Kevin Struhl stands out.

At his best, Kevin Struhl provides a valuable clarification of the relationship between promoters and enhancers in the regulation of transcription.

11 grants funded by NIGMS since March 15th. 11.

Don’t let anybody tell you small towns don’t matter. 🤠🔥 Weatherford, Texas — population under 8,000 — came out today to say no kings, no exceptions. Deep in red state America, democracy is alive and fighting. #NoKings2026

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

850 Tomahawk missiles could be $3,060,000,000... That is 3 billion sixty million US dollars.

That is 1224 5 year biomedical research grants. Literally, over 6 millennia of biomedical research.

I was just helping my kid with their high school Gov homework, and was astonished to learn the United States has a Congress.

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

It’s breathtaking how scientific institutions have just completely failed to meet the moment.

make your paper into a YA fantasy novel:

"A song of enzymes and ATP"

"A cycle of Krebs and citrate"

@umpamdk.bsky.social first locked down replies to this thread about an NAS symposium, ostensibly about research integrity, featuring Podcast-J and other people working to gut American leadership in science and tech, then deleted it.

Muchly research, so integrity.

It’s Akira Kurosawa’s birthday.
This is what it’s all about.

"The other way to put this is that NIH funded 33.1% fewer Hispanic trainees and only 6.3% fewer Non-Hispanic trainees in FY2025...we probably don’t have to think about this too deeply. The anti 'DEI' agenda of the new regime...is probably sufficient"

$2.45 billion NIH grant cuts and ~2300 terminated active research grants were DOGE'd in early 2025
Who were most affected?
