Thanks to The Scientist for highlighting our "From Labs to Lives" initiative. "From Labs to Lives" features our researchers describing the impact of their work, and the consequences if federal support for this cutting-edge research were reduced or eliminated.
Scientists Find Their Voices to Rally Support for Research
A new initiative at the University of California, Davis highlights the contributions of federally-funded research and what’s at risk if it disappears.

Better late than never, congratulations to Dr Anna Wood (@awood2.bsky.social) for successful defending her thesis in my lab just 2 weeks ago with an incredible seminar and B exam! I could not be prouder of all that she has achieved during her time with us. Best of luck at Yale, Anna - you will soar!
