Lab’s 1st preprint! Menstruation is understudied due to societal taboos + a biological challenge: mice (a key system for research + drug discovery) don’t menstruate. @cagricevrim.bsky.social made menstruating mice + used them to discover early events in menstruation. He is on the job market!

We won’t know until we try! There are SO many good people here that are willing to stand up for all of the hard work Utah scientists are doing for our state and the rest of our nation

We need some better language for pushing back against what the administration is doing. They’re not “ending DEI.” No. They're firing women and people of color in the military. They’re forbidding whole fields of research. They’re erasing trans people from existence.

Proud to be a part of this group at the Utah State Capitol today #standupforscience
A group of people in winter jackets gathered on the steps of the Utah state capitol in Salt Lake City for the Stand Up for Science event. Many people have hand written signs, including “save science”, “science saves lives”, and “science serves the common good”.
