UMass Boston Biology is hiring at the Assistant Professor level! Join our collegial department at our ocean front campus! nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Dear #izfc2025 participants, if anyone of you are interested in how transcription control defines mRNA fate and translation in zebrafish development, there are/will be several PhD and postdoctoral positions (funded by the Wellcome Trust) for this research. Please find me if interested.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2025 Boston Area Zebrafish Researchers Meeting! You all made this a fantastic meeting!

For those interested!

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3

"We spent all this money on this research and we’re not even going to be able to give taxpayers the outcomes." DOGE's cuts to NIH grants may save money on paper, but terminating studies without notice ultimately wastes money, our analysis shows. @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

#HHS isn't being transparent about the cuts occurring within the department or its agencies such as #CDC, #NIH, #FDA. If you've received a RIF notice today, @statnews.com wants to know. www.statnews.com/2025/03/27/h...

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs.

SDB President-elect Richard Behringer and SDB President Carole LaBonne published an opinion piece in The Hill on how President Trump's executive order entitled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" ignores science. bit.ly/41OM694

Despite court order, NIH grants remain frozen. Newly awarded grants, grants with fundable scores, & funds for a new budget cycle of a current project are all *FROZEN*🥶 and not being released. US research is being choked to death & is on life support right now www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Check out the upcoming Northeast Regional Society for Developmental Biology Conference at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA. April 25 – 27, 2025.

Hi all, I am in contact with a reporter at Science magazine who would like to talk with a trainee or mentor who successfully applied for an equity/DEI-related NIH training grant or a training supplement but have not received the Notice of Award and probably won't get the grant.
