Over 100,000 people here at the #NoKings rally in St. Paul Minnesota. This amazing crowd continues to grow. Our country belongs to all of us, not one person. Trump is forgetting this. He acts like he owns America. He does not. On this day from Alaska to Maine we remind him!

"The other way to put this is that NIH funded 33.1% fewer Hispanic trainees and only 6.3% fewer Non-Hispanic trainees in FY2025...we probably don’t have to think about this too deeply. The anti 'DEI' agenda of the new regime...is probably sufficient"

OMB has posted the full-year apportionments for NIH. openomb.org/file/11511545 I believe this means that NIH now has the spending authority to fund grants! There may be nuances and I will be tracking these as best I can.

Our newest paper in J. Biol. Chem 10.1016/j.jbc.2026.111190 GPCR biased signaling is orchestrated by caveolae plasma membrane microdomains. Beyond its structural role, Caveolin-1 is regulated by Y-phosphorylation and protein-protein interactions allowing it to actively direct GPCR biased signaling.

No science or nature today. ICE just murdered another person in my home state, an ICU nurse working with vets & now they're trying to frame him for the action . All because ICE is angry & afraid of the 50000 Minnesotans who marched yesterday. If you're not calling Congress you're letting them down
he main phone number for the U.S. Congressional Switchboard, a central point to reach Senators and Representatives, is (202) 224-3121, allowing you to connect with your elected officials to discuss issues, find their offices, or get general Capitol Hill information. You can also find direct contact information and legislative details on official sites like House.gov and Congress.gov to communicate with your specific Representative or Senator about bills and concerns

If you are submitting an NIH grant in February, you will be required to use SciENcv to prepare you biosketch. IT IS MUCH WORSE THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE. Set aside *at least* 4 hours just to transfer an existing an biosketch into SciENcv.
