Article out by @statnews.com profiling the terminated MOSAIC K99 program even though the goals fulfilled what the NIH says are their priorities: www.statnews.com/2025/12/08/t... If you’re at #CellBio2025 coming to the MOSAIC scholar session today at 5:30pm in room 116!
Screenshot of CellBio app. It reads:

Spotlight: What’s next: Cell Biology from ASCB MOSAIC Program Alumni

Location: 116
Date: Monday Dec 8 5:30PM
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes

In this session, six alumni of the ASCB MOSAIC Program (AMP) will present their latest research on a range of cell biology topics. The goal of the NIH-funded MOSAIC program, now concluded, was to diversify the tenure track faculty at research-intensive universities nationwide. AMP alumni are leaders in both their subfields of cell biology and in advancing equity and inclusion in the academic biosciences. Learning objectives include gaining new knowledge of cutting-edge cell biology research and networking with rising-star speakers.
