Making intrabodies from antibodies just got easier! Learn how we made 𝟭𝟵 intrabodies to bind and light up peptides and histone modifications in live cells. And thanks to Academia, all sequences are freely available. (video credit: Yuko Sato @YukoSatoT2) (1/15)

DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds?

RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them

D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?

Just got mine.

Totally expected, but it still sucks.

Probably the most for all the work that so many of us put in on behalf of US taxpayers that is now wasted and will never come to fruition.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has undertaken a review of its award portfolio. Each award was carefully and individually reviewed, and the agency has determined that termination of certain awards is necessary because they are not in alignment with current NSF priorites.

Effective immediately, the following are terminated:

NSF Award Id

NSF is issuing this termination to protect the interests of the government pursuant to NSF Grant General Conditions (GC-1) term and condition entitled 'Termination and Enforcement,' on the basis that they no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities. This is the final agency decision and not subject to appeal.

Glad to see Colorado State University has joined more than 550 universities in signing an April 22 statement from the AAC&U, “speaking in one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education.” www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...

ATTENTION: NSF GRANT RECIPIENTS

We received a heads up from a trusted source that you should proactively download/print/screen shot any documentation on research.gov pertaining to your NSF awards, both those that are current and any that have closed in the last 5-6 years.

Enjoyed spring in Tokyo last month for a much needed respite from the chaos here in the US. Glad to get a second dose of spring now that I'm back here in Colorado. Refueled to get out there and protest some more!

Does indeed feel like we're on the dark side of the moon at the moment. But I'm focused more on the image itself, which shows us that illuminating light is built up from a beautiful rainbow of colors... that's the message here.

If you’ve been to the doctor and received treatment, that treatment was very likely built on NIH-supported research.
