More than half of the 1500 research grants that NSF has terminated in the past month under orders from President Donald Trump’s administration aimed to bring groups historically underrepresented in science into the mainstream. scim.ag/4jYhB8e
scim.ag
NSF’s grant cuts fall heaviest on scientists from underrepresented groups
Projects to broaden participation were cut disproportionately—and were often led by Black scientists, women, and those with disabilities

Ik wil ergens heen rennen en zeggen: sorry dat ik zo laat ben. Sorry dat ik zo laat in actie kom
Op 5 mei, Bevrijdingsdag in Nederland, moest ik aan een vijfjarige uitleggen wat oorlog is. De gemiddelde leeftijd van de doden in Gaza is vijfenhalf. Zou je aan de kinderen in Gaza het omgekeerde moeten doen? Uitleggen wat vrede is?

For the first time, researchers have used expiration dates—printed on plastic waste incorporated into coot nests—to figure out when these structures were built. scim.ag/41K59lW

Plastic waste in bird nests can act like a tiny time capsule
Expiration dates help biologists trace the building of some avian homes back in history—in one case to 1991

Termination of an existing contract, which passed through extensive peer and administrative review, without a justifiable cause? Illegal. Sue them. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants
Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

To honour Lone Gram’s significant contributions to microbial secondary metabolite research, DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomyces lonegramiae (DSM 41529) after her. Fun Fact: Gram's great-grandfather developed the Gram stain 😉 #herstory #HonoringWomenInSTEM #WomenInScience #microbiology

A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic. www.jstor.org/stable/24923...
A graph titled "Cost of Transport" showing the relationship between body weight (in kilograms) and energy consumption for distance traveled (calories per gram per kilometer) for various animals and machines. It highlights that a person on a bicycle ranks first in efficiency.

Excited to join the @bsky.app Science community! I'm Doris, previous PhD in the lab of @gillesvanwezel.bsky.social and now a postdoc in the Raes Lab @KU Leuven. I love bacteria and the cool metabolites they produce 😍 I'm also a mom and I love to camp and play board games. Looking forward to connect!
