This is exactly how I feel about science. Scrolling through Pubmed is inspiring, but can be so demoralizing. www.instagram.com/p/DGSHyOhMmno/

There's so many errors being propagated in the literature that this is a must.... read the original!
This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it.
Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can.

While my brain knows the deadline, it surprises me every year !!
It's nearly impossible for reviewers to know what is actual science and AI generated. Is there something embedded in the images that gives the game away? [note: I'm an old school scientist]
π§ͺThis is a must watch. Please watch tonight's episode @60minutes.bsky.social.
Joan Brugge is an eminent scientist that was one of the first pioneers of 3D culture in breast cancer. She had two of her grants canceled last spring.
We used her protocols to develop our own for our research.
I love yours! We all get inspiration in different ways and from different situations.
Love this explanation! We definitely all need some inspiration in our offices to keep ourselves uplifted. I have a pic of Nelson Mandela with his quote "It always seems impossible until it is done".
It has to be seen to be believed.
Man, I just read a quote from Carrie Fisher that's going to be burned into my brain forever.
"Things are getting worse faster than we can lower our standards."
These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers.
My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers.
We found 437 of them.

Would you like to know more about how to stand up for vision research / NIH funding? This is a fantastic resource to help you broaden your knowledge and get involved. www.seewhatmatters.org
Happy to share our collaborative work showing a switch in integrin signaling in young versus old primary human trabecular meshwork cells. a5 integrin expression is lost in old cells, while avb5 becomes activated. iovs.arvojournals.org/article.aspx...
Congratulations! They are lucky to have you!
Congrats - very well deserved!

This is a great idea. There are going to be many brilliant brains let go.
Table showing the massive cuts in federal science funding for EPA- 54.5%, NASA -24%. NOAA - 24%, NSF -56%, USGS- 38% etc.
This is just a partial glimpse of the destruction of American science by Trump and the GOP.

I came home today and sat out in the yard listening to the birds sing, while the woodpecker was hammering away. A great destressor!
ACTION ITEM-----ACTION ITEM
Implementation of Schedule F
This is what a lot of us have been worried about.
This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs.
BUT THERE IS A COMMENT PERIOD...

These are my thoughts entirely
The vultures are circling (I feel very fortunate that this is the view from my office window).
