My awesome colleague, @yarimura.bsky.social, is recruiting a postdoc to start at the end of 2026 or early 2027! His lab uses cryo-EM to uncover structural basis of key chromatin events using native complexes isolated from human cells or Xenopus egg extracts!

Inspiring talks, signs, and crowd at today's #StandForScience2025 event in Seattle. Thanks to everyone who participated and gave us hope!

For this reason I was very pleased to see Tom Maniatis's article and petition on NIH’s decision to cap indirect cost reimbursement at 15% in @cellpress.bsky.social

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

Any talk you hear from the current administration about making the US more competitive in science and technology is utter bullshit. What they are doing is sabotaging our country for years if not decades to come.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

While Trump “floods the zone,” we must stay focused. 

NO to oligarchy, tax breaks for the rich and cuts to working class programs. NO to authoritarianism and unlimited power for one man.

YES to growing the union movement and raising wages. YES to health care as a human right.

Trump Tracker: Firings, lawsuits and U.S. science in chaos Follow President Donald Trump’s impact on U.S. research and science globally

Thanks to everyone who shared this request. We updated our new Trump Tracker blog today with the voices of some federal scientists who reached out. More to come.

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email (klangin@aaas.org) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.

I do think we will see a lot of people leaving America over this.

Our country is going back to factory settings.

So very sad 😢
