Please check out our new preprint! Using single cell analysis paired with HCR to visualize transcript localization we have identified cell and tissue-specific expression of various genes encoding tubulins, kifs, and dyneins during neural crest development!

Some gut bacteria talk to the heart – through the brain.

Researchers at the #mdcBerlin identified a gut–brain–heart pathway in zebrafish. A microbial metabolite (IAA) influenced specific neurons and heart function.

idk that seems to be the understatement of the week. this is actually happening, postdocs and RAs are being let go, and projects falter. 'could face funding gaps'? this is actually happening at a large scale. 'Worry' doesnt reflect the existential crisis that many of my colleagues are in.

I will never understand how this is allowed to happen. There has to be a way to address this in a real way from NIH's end?

I know this may be played out by now, but I wanted to start a post (and hopefully get some real ideas) about what non-PI options there are out there for trainees considering careers after their PhDs. Especially now in 2026, after the hurricane we called 2025. They are anguished. Thanks, Everyone!
