It’s out! There are so many fun back stories with this project’s origin story & how it reshaped my career trajectory. For now, plz welcome my lab’s culture collection of #Symbiodiniaceae associated bacteria! & the many siderophores they produce! 🧪 doi.org/10.1093/fems...

I am normally a pretty positive person, but this feels like a death sentence for life science funding in the US.

My students are learning bioinformatic analysis and making sweet, sweet plots. It is so fun to see filters you collected for several years finally come to life. So impressed!
Plot of date on the x-axis and relative abundance of amplicon sequences on the y-axis. Stacked bar plot with lots of tiny bar slices and colors. Very much a rough draft figure, but still fun!Plot of date on the x-axis and relative abundance of amplicon sequences on the y-axis. Stacked bar plot with lots of tiny bar slices and colors.

New PI record unlocked: two #NSF proposal rejections within an hour of one another. Had been pending since Aug 2025. Did anyone in oceanography get funded? I will feel better knowing the whole program didn’t just get axed…

I echo how dire the situation is regarding science funding. The worst for those early career trying to get started. It also isn’t for lack of trying. I have two submitted grants still pending from August 2025. Clicking on the OG post, the numbers getting funded are just dismal.

Anyone know what happens to grants that DO have some of those "list words" in them? I submitted a grant in July 2024, which does for sure have some of those words in the mandated-at-the-time broader impact section. It currently sits still pending.

One of our senators came to a science symposium I attended today. Her advice? "Keep calling and pushing" for unfreezing sci funding. WHO? I called your office repeatedly and you just voted to approve some of Trump's cabinet -- so who exactly am I supposed to advocate to?
