#TADA2026 is now up on lea.ac! Full schedule, filterable by people you follow, a custom feed, and more! (This is not part of the official TADA organization, just an experiment. Try it out and let us know what you think! Also a nice way to follow along virtually if you can't attend in person!)

A screenshot from Lea showing the conference page for TADA. The program tab is selected, and presentations are filtered by "People I follow." Each resulting presentation includes the title, presenters, location, time, a topic tag, and the person (or people) presenting whom I follow.

We self-published a history of biochemistry book. The Molecule Hunters is 133 profiles of the people who decoded life, from a physician weighing a willow tree in the 1640s to structural biologists predicting protein folds with AI. 190 scientists, eleven parts, four centuries.

I'm incredibly honored to be one of the inaugural winners of the Ctrl-Z award. The sequence of events preceding and following this retraction were harrowing (and are honestly still stressful), but I hope this will be an opportunity for more open dialogue about mistakes + self-retraction in science.

The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted. What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards. Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success.
