Scientists and journalists need to figure out right quick how to explain to the average person how a massive change in research indirects will impact the medical care they and their children get (eg at the local children’s hospital), the education their children will get, the price of tuition, etc.

Straight into court, and you can expect universities to be seeking injunctive relief immediately. This is the way Trump has always conducted himself, lawless and without honor or compunction.

This a funding myth. There are no untapped wells of charity money that can support the kind of research biomedical scientists need to perform today. Most foundation grants are in 25 to 75K/year range, many are on the order of 1-3 years, and in spite of this, are highly competitive.

Happy #microscopymonday! Here is a collaborative project I started in ~2018, looking at different cells stained for actin and DNA and all set to the same scale. More info (and poster printouts!) here: katrinavelle.wixsite.com/science/prin...
A collage of different cells stained green for actin polymer and pink for DNA (a single circle in most of the cell types). A large mouse skin cell on the top right hovers over the smaller amoebae and yeast cells below. A column of corn epithelial cells runs along the left, with one cell in the center dividing. A small listeria bacterium (pink) rockets in from the top using an actin comet tail. A branchy amoeba sits at the lower right corner. About 7 other cell types are smattered around.

Have you ever thought to yourself… how can I make my #rstats plot UGLIER? Well, look no further, cuz it’s good plot-bad plot time! My students made plots that will make you want to laugh, cry, and throw your computer out the window. Which one do you think is the worst? 🧵🧪
