Some exciting news! NCBI has finished the annotation pipeline for our new #zebrafish reference sequence GRCz12tu:

This is a big step up in data depth and quality and should be super helpful going forward.

Maybe not a zebrafish meeting per se, but we'll have some fishy friends there alongside colleagues studying Epigenetics in all sorts of other awesome plant, animal, fungal, and protist models!

Robin Allshire and I are chairing. This has always been my favorite meeting due to the collegiality, excellent science, and wide representation from different model systems. Priority acceptance for those who submit abstracts. We plan to start selecting short talks from abstracts around mid-April.

I hope that everyone in the private sector who depends on federal grants to train their researchers and staff, pay for their services and products, or benefits in any other way from federal funding will come out to #standupforscience!

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

"...Moreover, federal reimbursement of indirect costs was seen as a way to get universities to accept federal funding at all, since at the time many universities “had no interest” in federal funding “owing to fears about government intrusion in curricula, research topics, and governance.”

Really appreciate Jonathan Lambert pointing out that NSF grants are congressionally mandated to weigh how grants broaden participation in science, putting the administration's executive order against DEIA in conflict with, and potentially undermining, congressional legislation

Congratulations to the winners of the Nobel prize! I hope their stories, particularly KK's, force us to confront the misogyny, bias and assumptions about "impact" and "excellence" that very likely limit the recognition of similar innovations that could improve our world.

For those who haven't followed the news the Fiscal Year 2024 NIH funding bill approved by the House Appropriations Committee has unprecedented cuts: An overall 6.2% cut, a 2.6% cut in NIGMS, a 2.9% cut for the NCI & the NIAID budget slashed by 22.9%. Look at projected paylines under this vision 🧪

In some distant reality academics will talk about the life-changing EDI/DEI initiatives they’ve devised and delivered, or the weekend open days they’ve attended, or the pastoral support they’ve provided their students and the strong relationships that sustain beyond that, or…etc, etc.

not an original thought but bears repeating: half of writing is just being allowed time to sit on your ass uninterrupted and think about things really hard until you puzzle them out, which doesn't look or feel like work at all. but it is!
