New research from IU microbiologist Cristina Landeta and undergrad Rebecca Collins shows that giant viruses carry previously unrecognized tools that may reshape how infected cells regulate redox balance and membrane composition. The study was published in PNAS. go.iu.edu/rBBx14 @cris-s.bsky.social

Happy to share our latest work! Giant viruses are interesting organisms with a repertoire of genes that will take us some time to fully understand. Thank you to everyone who made possible this work, specially our colleagues at Marseille, Fr.

For non-scientists: the funding rate is somewhere between 7% to ~25% (rare) for NIH or NSF grants, depending on where you are applying. Grants are reviewed by a panel of peers who read the grants, score them, then debate the ratings for 1-2 days to rank them. It is INCREDIBLY competitive already.

HAPPY 75th, NSF! We’re celebrating this milestone by highlighting some of NSF’s most transformative accomplishments—innovations that have shaped our world and continue to drive progress in health, technology, the environment, and beyond. Read on 🧵(1/11):

As markets plummet again today from Trump's chaotic economic policies, ask yourself: Why would billionaires back policies that tank their own stock values? It’s the taxes. I wrote a step-by-step explainer of how billionaires avoid paying taxes. People are often surprised when I explain it.🧵

Thanks @standupforscience.bsky.social for organizing! @nytimes.com please report on this, the public deserves to understand how decreasing DEIA and funding in Science will impact them. Thanks @nature.com for live reporting! @goodtroublein.bsky.social @indivisible.org @iubiology.bsky.social

People gathered in front of the state house in Indianapolis on March 7th 2025 to protest the funding cuts and destruction of DEIA measures. Signs say for examples: « You know it’s bad when that many introverts rally » « Science not silence » « what makes America great? Science »

People gathered in front of the state house in Indianapolis on March 7th 2025 to protest the funding cuts and destruction of DEIA measures. A woman is wearing a shirt that says « humanity needs science ». Approximately 200 people of a range of ages stood up for science and listened to speakers highlighting how we should not remain silent and we should instead listen to our inner voice that does not agree with the measures taken in these past 46 days.

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

Love national parks? I'm lucky enough to live in one of the best parks in the world, and on Saturday we held a demonstration to protest the mass & indiscriminate firing of our friends and coworkers. #nationalparks #rangers #publicland #Yosemite #Firefall #fedworkers #massfiring #NPS #ProtectourParks

A colorful sign is held up that reads "We said Firefall, Not Fire them All"

A sign is held up that reads "Staff Cuts = Chaos" with a picture of a trash can on fire

A person holds a sign that says "Immigrants didn't take our jobs, but Trump did"

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

Our preprint is live now! We identified substrates of oxidative protein folding in mycobacteria… myco is interesting, so many essential proteins.
