This is the destruction of federal funding for scientific research & universities as we know it. A total, comprehensive politicization of the process & an end run around Congress.
Hey all! New to bluesky! Very excited to first share a mini review I wrote recently with Emma Lucas. This mini-review explores the recent developments in producing reliable in vitro models of the human endometrium and embryo! Let me know what you think!

Big smiles from Philippines!! 🇵🇭❤️
Let me post a spicy take here: most people don't read or cite other model organisms' work. Because of this, they keep rediscovering things and, most importantly, re-writing the timeline in favor of fewer and fewer models. That, plus an artificial limit of citations per paper equals this 🧪

Abstract. Recent advances in the development of stem-cell-based embryo models and endometrial assembloids have fuelled understanding of their respective bi
BREAKING:
New proposed OMB regulation, applying to all federal grants, requiring grant reviews by senior political appointees and re-emphasizes that "peer review remains advisory and does not replace agency discretion".

Had a pretty cool time this past weekend, personally
Saddened about the loss of Alice Wong

Now out @natbiotech.nature.com ! Do lncRNAs commonly bind 1000s of genomic sites? Maybe they do, but the dozens of studies that report genomic binding maps of lncRNAs are deeply flawed, with probes binding suprious DNA sites rather than RNA-bound ones.
