Invited to give a talk by graduate students-who DRIVE research nationwide-is easily one of the greatest honors for a PI. It’s even better when one of your former mentees is the host! Thank you Tanner and @harvard.edu Micro for being a bright light in these dark times. 🙏 Science will prevail 💪

4 different NoAs have come in the past 3 weeks! All non-competitive renewals, but each was in doubt! Don’t know what it means bc funds still frozen here, but hats off to the hard working folks at the NIH!
Bravo 👏

went through a long practice session with 2 trainees for future conference talks (ie, best part of my job) and I forgot to follow our session with the most important info I had for them, so I thought I’d share what I sent to them in a message bc I think it’s the way all PIs feel…

This happens! Lake otters at my parents place in Canada often come up to our kayaks and want to play. Jump over the front, bang the side of the kayak, embarrass you in a ‘race’ they provoke. Fun and curious lil characters ❤️

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this announcement also came with guidelines surrounding the use of AI in grant. If someone uses AI to write grants, or help, I think they’re nuts (and the proposal is prolly 💩) but you could probably submit a lot of them…

So important! Please contact your Republican senators, especially Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL), and Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA). 🙏 amplify!

As Robert Kuttner writes, the NIH will need support from Republican Senators to avoid draconian cuts to its FY2026 budget.

Will the Senate Save NIH?

Rescuing biomedical research is every bit as important as saving Medicaid.

By deep characterisation of 186 N-glycan standards, we @thencfg.bsky.social have made the most comprehensive targeted LC-MS glycomic assay to date.
Non-reduced native glycan analysis is key.
We hope this enables anyone with QqQ and interest in #glycotime to measure specific N-glycan structures.
