So excited our case study of undergrad & master’s students who conduct research culminating in micropublications is out in peer-reviewed form! Coauthoring micropubs helps students develop their scientific identities! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/19… @BallState @BallStateCSH @BiologyBSU
So excited to share our work! In this case study, we interviewed undergraduate & master’s students who conducted research culminating in peer-reviewed micropublications. Coauthoring micropubs helped students develop their scientific identities! 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
During National Diabetes Awareness Month, we put Dr. Scott Soleimanpour (@SoleimanpourLab), Associate Professor of Internal Medicine, Division of Metabolism, Endocrinology & Diabetes (MEND), on call with our team!
🌠 Announcing our latest awardees! 🤩 These talented scientists are uncovering how viruses infect cells, decoding cell behavior, and exploring the hidden biology in the ocean: bit.ly/HFAwardees. Meet the awardees & hear about their bold projects from our #HFScouts 👇 /1
Think the mitotic spindle just pulls chromosomes apart? Think again. It also wrangles membranes & organelles during cell division. Francesco Scavone (@Stanford) explores how it all works—and why it matters. 🔍 molbiolcell.org/doi/full/10.10… #ASCB #CellBiology
Huge thanks to Guillaume Thibault and Julie Hollien for organizing a warm, welcoming FASEB ER meeting filled with incredible science! Excited that I will carry the torch as a co-organizer for the 2027 meeting….can’t wait! @FASEBorg
Kar3 isn't just for mitosis—it helps take out the cellular trash. 🧹 New from Eric Rubenstein (@BallState): Kar3 & Vik1 are essential for ER-associated degradation, linking microtubules to protein quality control. 📖 molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb… #ASCB #CellBio #ERAD #Microtubules
News of the first NIH grant cuts at Columbia medical center have come in. Center grants (including of the diabetes center where I am), training grants for PhD students. PhD students are certainly not the reason for federal budget woes, they are among the most altruistically…
Measles spreads even if someone has a perfect diet The only way to stop it spreading is by vaccination.
“So maybe that’s what I would say to JD Vance is: ‘What you did in Springfield—I’m terrified that you’re going to do that to one of my nurses . . . who’s just a simple, good man. You know, you destroyed these people’s lives for no good reason.” thebulwark.com/p/the-miraculo…
As if professor positions were the only available or desired outcomes for PhD students... And very few PhD students work close to the hours he describes.
There are too many bio PhD positions. Few of these graduates are able to obtain a PI position. Universities only train so many because they are cheap labor who will work 80 plus hours a week for 60 grand.
Proud of this team and work, which would not have been possible without the NIH. The kinesin Kar3 is required for endoplasmic reticulum–associated degradation | Molecular Biology of the Cell molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb…
NEW -- In the span of one month we may just witnessed a generational blow to science in America. The DOGE-induced brain drain has very much begun thebulwark.com/p/the-doge-bra…
My time in industry convinced me of the importance of basic, government funded science research. It was crazy how much of the stuff we did was based directly on academic research that in-and-of-itself would have been too risky and/or too low-return for the company to do
Would this even make the top five list of big banana’s crimes?
Wow check out the increase in global banana 🍌consumption over the years . Closely mirrors increase in autism rates WHATS GOING ON ??!! RFK Jr better look into this!! Is there a cover up by BIG BANANA????
IMPORTANT: University of Utah could lose $43.5M for research expenses under Trump admin cut. That money support projects like the development of new cancer-fighting drugs. sltrib.com/news/education…
Trump’s administration just canceled the R15 grants for medical and graduate schools. The applications were due in 2 weeks. The call was just renewed in December. The R15s have nothing to do with DEI.
If you are able, please support my very good friend and colleague, whose house burnt to the ground this weekend. Thankfully, all people and animals are safe. Jessi's faith and positivity in the midst of tragedy are inspiring. Please share. gofundme.com/f/help-the-hae…
Director-writer David Lynch, who radicalized American film with with a dark, surrealistic artistic vision in films like “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive” and network television with “Twin Peaks,” has died. He was 78. bit.ly/40is3yQ
Legend!
Thrilled to be amongst this cohort of exceptional scientists receiving the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)!!!! @NSF #NSFCAREER #PECASE whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…
