Lately I've been actively trying to spend more time enjoying the quiet Today I've got Savage stuck in my head; and when Beyonce says, "If you don't jump to put jeans on, baby you don't feel my pain," it cuts to NG. Quiet is good 🙂 Savage - youtu.be/FatzlG2DNdY?... NG - youtu.be/SCNlEuz9-eg?...

I've got a mashup of Holding Out for a Hero and Hotel California stuck in my head, and I don't think I need to tell you that it FUCKING ROCKS SO HARD

I love that! Related recommendation for anyone interested: short autobiographical essays--it never takes long to find one that's absolutely riveting... (oh man, long URL from hell here; it's just a search in Annual Reviews for 'autobiography' + 'biology', heh) www.annualreviews.org/search?value...

Please find 5 minutes today to draft your response to this drastic change in NIH Peer review. The deadline is October 13. I pasted my own response below as an example--please share widely 🧪

I am an NIH-funded scientist who has run a lab for 34 years. I have served on literally dozens of NIH peer-review study sections, most recently this past June. I also have served in Council for both NIGMS and for CSR. I thus am very familiar with the current review process from both the prospective of an applicant and a reviewer. I strongly oppose the proposed changes. While NIH peer review is not perfect, it is the best system thus far devised, and is the envy of colleagues in other countries. Three experts in the field spend hours reviewing each proposal, using their knowledge of important issues to rank proposals by signficance, feasibility and impact. Then they present their opinions to a panel of 20 or more expert sin the broader field, and a spirited discussion ensues. Thus each proposal is put through very stringent process, and the resulting ranking has substantial value in times when funding is limited. Having review many times, I know that the proposed binning would provide equal "scores" to proposals that were greet with substanailly different degrees of enthusiasm. Further, grants binned just bowl and just above the 25% cutoff would be subsequently viewed as if the enthusiasm for them quite divergent, certainly not an accurate summary. The current fine-grained system avoids these issues. Removing it will make the task of NIH Program officers more difficult. Binning also allows non-scientific issues to take on disproportionate weight in funding, an issue that will be accentuated if political appointees are making the ultimate decisions. Please retain the current system.

Make sure you read this in addition to the Nobel Prize announcement. I honestly can't believe it is this difficult to figure out an recognize the pioneers that did the work.

I don't know if people don't realize just how bad it is for disabled scientists, or they simply don't care....but as I write this, I do hope it's the former. I want people to know that diversity supplements were a LIFELINE for disabled folks like me. 14/

4/n: Our ex vivo culture preserves the natural development as well as the natural interactions of EM cells with the surrounding ectodermal cells. EM cells often migrate in a 2.5D-3D environment and develop normally, making it suitable to study cell-cell interactions.

the finches keep me company throughout but especially in the first few minutes. the doves when they come in are sensitive to me suddenly changing my rowing pace so they keep me consistent. the other birds drop in occasionally to keep things interesting

Here is the full clip of an embryonic myeloid cell transiting from inside to outside of an explant. It's one of my most favorite clips. Note how the nucleus 🔵 is squeezed right at the tissue boundary, and the myosin signal 🔴 goes from rearward to randomly distributed. How cool? #FluorescenceFriday

'Purge tower' sounds like an intriguing, if macabre, bit of history. 'Wipe tower' sounds like a potty training aid. I don't know what to tell you

Bluesky is great because no matter how bad you think things are you are always one retweet away from a leading expert in the field who can explain why they're actually so much worse.
