OK so are there any other grants incoming (hopefully) clinical psych PhD students should try to apply for?

Also just saw this - very disappointed as I was hoping to apply but it’s also unfortunately not surprising.

🧪 And House appropriators say: no cuts to NIH budget!

House subcommittee version just came out (link below). Holds NIH flat at $48 billion.

To be clear: this is far from over. But a good sign that science still matters across both sides of aisle.

YOUR VOICE MATTERS!!

Extracellular vesicle heterogeneity through the lens of multiomics

Silva and colleagues refine an EV isolation method to optimize recovery of cancer-derived large oncosomes (LOs). This approach enables high-yield profiling by mass spectrometry and bulk/single-LO RNA-seq. A consistent set of credentialed proteins is enriched in LOs from various cancer sources, including patient plasma.

Shot from the Sacramento #StandUpForScience2025 crowd. So many turned out to express their appreciation for public health, environmental, and genomic research and to express solidarity in the face of the flailing attacks launched against them of late. #SaveScience

It felt really good to be out with so many others at the #Standupforscience2025 rally in DC today. So much energy in the crowd. Nothing like getting thousands of nerds together!

I'm standing by the reflecting pool. The Lincoln memorial is in the background and I'm holding a small sign that says "GTFO ELON." There's a large crowd visible a little ways behind me.

My kiddo came with me, too. When he heard that they were cutting money for science research, he decided to skip his class movie party at school today and come with me. He wouldn't let me paint the lab coat because he might need it someday if he wants to be a scientist. 💜 #Standupforscience2025
