Hey, I’ve got a childhood epilepsy R01 I’m writing - it’s mechanistic, focusing on calcium and cytoskeleton.
Waaaaay out of my wheelhouse, and I’d love to get expert’s input for my specific aims - any takers to have a quick look at my page and just absolutely wreck it?
Researchers in the US might be having feelings about writing grants atm-I know I am!
We still need to write them. In this Evolution Exchange, I again chat with Sam Scheiner, who summarizes how to write a competitive proposal.
His advice is gold, and helpful regardless of funder. Pls RT!
When did my son's feet get bigger than mine. He's eleven.
Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.
The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

Rowles and Patti decode cancer with #metabolomics across scales. They discuss opportunities and challenges of metabolimics approaches to explore how cancer cells' nutrient demands are met through metabolic interactions in the TME or systemic crosstalk.

Cool time to start a science career. As a grad student in the early 2010’s I thought I was lucky because I didn’t have to worry about funding at the time and things would be better when I was trying to start my lab

We often get questions about the ins-and-outs of Presubmission Enquiries when engaging with scientists. Are they important? Will they help my paper get sent for review? Can they benefit me? If you're curious as well, please check out our editorial in the Feb issue!
All my years of life I never once thought that the eagles would have been seduced by the ring and that's why they didn't ride them into Mordor.

I can't take any credit, but I love this paper, which I believe coins the term xeno-learning.
Super cool paper on ephys in organoids out yesterday in nBME from the Rogers lab.
Yes, they taught him well too. He is mad about racism.

My son is learning about the civil rights movement. He learned about Emmett Till. He doesn't understand how something like that could happen. He thinks things are better now. It's hard to be a parent these days.
This feels a lot like academia in the U.S. right now

Stochasticity in cancer immunotherapy stems from rare but functionally critical Spark T cells
This study shows cancer immunotherapy can behave randomly. The authors find this isn’t from tumours but "noise" from the immune system itself.

This is a really impactful blog from Gregory Moore on his adult son with a very rare genetic condition, the impact of the diagnostic odyssey and the diagnosis itself, and the power of #genomics and Dr Seuss.

to be fair, we don't walk as depicted in hieroglyphs of humans walking either :D
Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.
Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.
This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.
