It was great seeing you Zoe, even if only briefly.

Excited to share our new preprint led by Basant Hens. Great thanks to co-authors @fireinlab.bsky.social and Whitney Smith-Kinnaman.

I got another ND on my NIH grant. While it’s hard to be too frustrated with the current state of things, this one was super frustrating as scored last time and thought the idea was much stronger and addressed the critiques well from the last round.

Nice. I have some homemade pastrami in my freezer I brought in for you. Gave one to Travis today.

Looks EXCELLENT. But why not two of them (twins)

3 of 4 R01s in limbo as pulled from study section and the one that was actually reviewed was not discussed. Sigh.

That’s better than grant writing :).

Such a pretty dog. I love Bernese Mountain dogs. Yeah stay home and work on grants, right :).

This happened to 3 of my 5 grants: assigned, de-assigned, study section canceled, study section rescheduled, grants de-assigned. One should get reviewed and I bet other will be de-assigned again. No chaos here.
baucumlab.bsky.social
Ridiculous. Just causing chaos for chaos sake. Sorry Jason.

Pastrami turned out pretty good. Still wondering, keep doing science or open a bbq joint. Call it “Broken Beaker BBQ”

DOGE is cutting funding for a badly-needed new VA medical center in Indianapolis.

Denying healthcare to our veterans isn’t efficiency. It’s cruel.

I’ve demanded that DOGE immediately reverse this dangerous decision.
baucumlab.bsky.social
Ok. Yeah they will probably put a new date up once they poll members. It takes a bit.
baucumlab.bsky.social
Like cancelled or working on a new date? I have one at a member conflict SEP through NIDDK that is in a similar boat. Date was taken down. And no info up on it anymore.

I have 4 R01s getting reviewed this cycle. The two that have been moved already to April. One other that was supposed to be reviewed yesterday and today also just got moved to April. And the 4th had its date removed so am sure that one is being updated.
baucumlab.bsky.social
One study section that I have a grant at has rescheduled for April and I just saw that study section posted in the register (MCNP).
baucumlab.bsky.social
Well the study section that was supposed to meet yesterday and today for one of my grants got an updated date of 04/22 on commons. I still don’t see it or any new ones in the federal register but not sure how long those take to post.
baucumlab.bsky.social
The 2nd of 5 study sections that I have grants being reviewed at got dreaded * - “Denotes this meeting did not take place as scheduled” by it. Federal register is supposedly opened up, but still the last study section posted was on 1/21, so will be 15-35 days at least for rescheduling, I bet.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully my grants will actually get reviewed for this cycle. Thanks Jeremy for keeping us so informed.

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.
