Judge Blocks Controversial International Student Restrictions related to F-1 and J-1 duration of status. Glad this rule has not been implemented yet but not a fan of the continued uncertainty surrounding grad student admissions for international students. www.insidehighered.com/news/global/...

Judge Blocks Controversial International Student Restrictions
A Massachusetts judge issued the injunction hours before the regulation was set to take effect. Institutions worried it would harm international students.

It's not a good sign when major foundations and organizations that support critical disease research in the US have to issue a press release in protest of government actions that put patient health at risk. Read the press release here: www.cff.org/press-releas...

Now the NIH postbac research program is paused??? What a huge loss for the scientific community. This has been a great program that has provided critical training for so many young scientists.

I'm leading a panel today at the Cilia, Mucus & Mucociliary Interactions GRS on "Life After a Terminal Degree: Careers in Academia, Industry, and Beyond." What a time for this discussion. What advice would you give trainees about why it's worth it to continue to pursue a career in science?

Now seems a good time to mention that I haven't yet filled a postdoc position in phylogenetic methods. If you just lost your job, need something temporary, and know something about bioinformatics/statistics/evolution, talk to me.

The @asm.org Future Leaders program has been instrumental at preparing future scientists who represent our community's diverse membership. It's critical that this program and others can continue. Members should speak out in support of keeping these important initiatives. asm.org/fellowships/...

As a former Wisconsin grad myself (Class of ‘07, BS in Medical Microbiology & Immunology), I just had a very surreal experience of writing a letter of rec for one of my students to join the Microbiology PhD program there. Wow. On Wisconsin! (Not that I’m biased in anything 😉)
