This would be a great time for everyone to be cool when reviewing manuscripts and *not* request $25,000 worth of new experiments that don’t substantially advance or validate the study...

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.
Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

I was having a hard time describing how a plate of cultured cells didn’t look healthy to a new undergrad in the lab. He looked at them and said, “oh yeah, the vibes are off.” Thank god for Gen Z.

There was a red-tailed hawk hunting a squirrel in a tree on campus today. It was quite the chase and still going when I left, but I managed to get close enough for this pic while it was taking a rest.

I’m at the @asbmb.bsky.social conference in Chicago and there’s a cosplay convention in the other building from our meeting. It’s absolutely hilarious. Two different nerd conventions. I could sit and watch the elevator all day.

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

All four of these are poison ivy (genus Toxicodendron). There are only a handful of distinguishing features that can identify poison ivy, because everything about the plant is subject to change and variation, even in the same small area.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off.

My detained client was scheduled for a bond hearing this AM in a MA immigration court. He wasn't brought in, and he and his case have disappeared.
I then received this notice of activity on a nonexistent docket in which his name was changed to "N/A"
It's all happening a lot faster than I expected

With the data from NIH Reporter from yesterday, I can now look at the loss of funding up to April 1st budget start dates.
It totals $1.62 B for non-competitive renewals.
This is less than last month as some more awards have been made (late).
