Postdoc during revision
A man in india never sat down for 12 years to see god. Dulal Giri Ji Maharaj reportedly dropped out of his university studies to remain standing continuously for 12 years in order to receive a divine vision of the Hindu god Mahadev.

Postdocs are a good example. These are paid positions. There is no admission committee with ulterior motives. A principal investigator places an ad for a postdoctoral position in a scientific journal. The PI has one major motivation: research success. The ability to obtain tenure and receive continued grant funding is based almost exclusively on research output. The PI also benefits from cheap grad student labor. •The ​NCSES — Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (GSS) found that temporary visa holders account for 53% of all engineering postdocs and 56% of physical science and math postdocs working in U.S. higher education. In many R1 research institutions, international scholars constitute the vast majority of lab personnel driving day-to-day experimental work. •Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) — The STEM Shortage: An analysis of how the domestic doctoral shortage impacts defense R&D, artificial intelligence development, and semiconductor manufacturing. CSIS details that the U.S. defense industrial base and advanced technology sectors face severe talent constraints because federal labs and defense contractors require U.S. citizenship for security clearances. Because the vast majority of advanced doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in specialized computing and material sciences are foreign nationals, there is a structural disconnect: plenty of cutting-edge research is happening in U.S. universities, but a critically small fraction of that doctoral talent can transition into sensitive domestic security roles. csis.org/analysis/retaining-… •Georgetown University Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) CSET reports that international STEM Ph.D. graduates have exceptionally high "stay rates" in the U.S. (around 80% to 90% for Chinese and Indian doctorates remain in the country for at least five years post-graduation). Their research demonstrates that the U.S. innovation economy is completely dependent on retaining these foreign doctorates and postdocs, as the volume of domestic citizen Ph.D. grads is fundamentally insufficient to sustain current commercial and academic AI research labs. cset.georgetown.edu/publicat… •National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) — The Postdoctoral Experience Revisited The Core Issue: This consensus study evaluates why domestic citizens avoid the doctoral and postdoctoral path. US students are unwilling to sacrifice years of low pay (student stipends and later postdoc pay). With undergraduate degrees they can obtain good salaries without sacrificing ~6-7 years. In contrast, pursuit of an advanced degree and postdoc for a foreign student often is a path to citizenship. They are more willing to make the sacrifice for the prize. nap.nationalacademies.org/ca…

Good Evening @uthsc There are surely postdoc fellows who are citizens who need this opportunity! Stop hiring visa employees!

Meine spanische Postdoc erzählte mir mal, sie sei von ihrer Mutter vor der Klassenfahrt der 3. Grundschulklasse mit Kondomen einschliesslich Instruktionen zur Benutzung versorgt worden. ABER, sie war da eben schon geschlechtsreif. Realismus vor Prüderie ist sicher eine gute Idee

in 2016 I could have captioned this “the grad student, the postdoc, and the junior prof” and got 36000 likes. Now I have to add “at Hitler University” or else The Left hires a guy to punch me in the dick at Uniqlo

Yo solo justificaría esas becas de postdoc si fuesen exclusivas para quienes hicieron el doctorado en Chile y por un período re limitado. Dos años.

I’m so sorry, because of biosafety concerns, Professor Claude can’t meet with you at this moment, but his postdoc Braiden would be happy to answer questions!

Her name is Mona Fariborzi and she is not on twitter/x, but she will be hitting the postdoc job market in spring/summer 2026, with hopefully 2 more preprints under her belt, so keep an eye out of you're hiring

I'm currently a postdoc in bioethics at NIH, and this is the vibe that our department has. It's really something special and worth trying to cultivate elsewhere.

Good question. Back in the 2000s, Phillip Oberdoerffer, a postdoc in our lab, published that DNA breaks cause epigenetic drift in mammals, not just yeast, consistent with the Information Theory of Aging Summary of the 2009 study ICYMI: One of the hallmarks of aging is the gradual loss of genome stability and control of gene activity. In yeast, a protein called Sir2 (the original Sirtuin) helps keep certain genes turned off and protects repetitive regions of DNA. As yeast age, or when their DNA is damaged, Sir2 leaves its normal locations and moves to sites of DNA damage to help with repair. This causes previously silent genes to become active, leading to changes associated with aging We found that the mammalian version of Sir2, called SIRT1, behaves in a similar way. In mouse cells, SIRT1 normally helps silence repetitive DNA and regulates many genes throughout the genome. When DNA damage occurs, SIRT1 moves away from these regions and relocates to DNA breaks to assist in repair. As a result, gene expression patterns change in ways that closely resemble those seen in aging mouse brains Increasing SIRT1 levels improves survival in mice with unstable genomes and reduces many of the gene expression changes that occur with age. These findings suggest that aging may result, at least in part, from the repeated redistribution of SIRT1 and other chromatin-regulating proteins as they respond to DNA damage, gradually disrupting the youthful organization of the genome cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

How much is due to damage and how much to epigenetic drift???
