Maybe it’s the relentless downpour of tragic news but this one hit me very, very hard.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Haha it always says all are welcome on their website.

But I have heard of concern attending this year due to ICE.

No one tells you that the last year of the PhD is when you accumulate the strangest side quests.

Brewing our Loopapalooza Pale Ale at Steel String Brewery! @dphansti.bsky.social

Loopapalooza will have a science research-inspired label. It showcases the work we do in genome organization!

Soon, @sciforgood.bsky.social will be launching this initiative at 11 pilots across the country

🍻 cheers!

@kevinmawright.bsky.social new lab funding mechanism???

Business idea: Reductress (or The Onion) styled satire calendar but for snarky remarks on academia

Best friends since our post-bacc days in 2019. Now 5th years in our program and we’re joking about defending around the same time and working at the same company post-PhD πŸ˜‚

My biggest takeaway from #BIO2025 regarding job applications is that it’s truly who you know, not what you know.

The silverlining, I guess, is that I don't think I've gotten this much clarity in my career than these past few months. Perhaps I can marry my two academic training backgrounds more than I thought.

4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel

🚨 Cool new project alert 🚨

WE- you, me, everyone- need to work together to get important science messages out to people.

4 artists & 3 scientists collab'd on these posters. We hope YOU will put them out in your community. Each poster comes w/info about each topic.

Exclusive: NSF stops awarding new grants and funding existing ones US science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with β€˜agency priorities’.

BREAKING: NSF has frozen all grant funding, as of yesterday. It's unclear when they will resume funding awards, or why the pause has been put in place. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Finally got some good, reassuring news this morning. A glimmer of support and hope and one less thing to worry about.
