Have we really become so woke that we’re no longer comfortable with ICE shooting unarmed women and yelling “fuck you bitch” as they die?

Five different federal grants supported parts of this work to discover bacteriophages that specifically kill antibiotic resistant bacteria. They were all politically terminated three weeks ago.

The latest work from my lab, Phage Disco, a method @EllieRand3 developed for targeted discovery of bacteriophages based on the bacterial receptor, defense system, or other component they interact with, is now live in mSystems

The NIH 15% cap on indirect costs will kneecap biomedical research in the US.
Without essential infrastructure, there will be:
Staff cuts
Lab closures
Fewer research projects
Less scientific progress
Loss of talent
The US will no longer lead scientific & medical innovation.

NIH indirect costs fund the backbone of research: maintaining labs, ensuring safety, and supporting admin work. These are essential for groundbreaking discoveries. Drastic cuts to NIH indirect rates are detrimental to academic biomedical research.

Beautiful work and it is online and open, would be great for teaching @CellBioEd students what cells "really" look like.

It’s incredible how densely packed the cell is with organelles and other structures! Just seeing a talk from JLS which brought up this paper using fib-sem pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3461…

I give take-home exams so that students can think about experimental design and provide thoughtful answers without the anxiety of a timed test. This means I try to make them resistant to Googling/AI. My students challenged me to write one about Barbie. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! 1/n

So I got all excited that a student replicated Blue Soup with purple media in @CellBioEd tissue culture class last week but alas, on LB it was teal and black and grapey.

I mean that might get them to be blue! But on LB/TSA if its pseudomonas you should see the green/black and smell grapes.
