The National Science Foundation is terminating and suspending grants again, and at Grant Witness we need you to help to track them! 🧪
We can only identify research being suppressed by under-the-radar suspensions directly from researchers. Please report! grant-witness.us/posts/2026-0... #NSF
[new paper!] All-female, polyploid salamanders are weird: they have 3-4 sets of giant chromosomes, a mitochondria that doesn't match their nuclear genomes, and are made of fewer, bigger cells. We've thought about the consequences of this in lots of ways, stumbling on a neat one during my PhD..(1/n)
Shelly is an amazing scientist! Great opportunities at the interface of genomics and AI in this future lab!
This new work is now a pre-print: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Not only do the unisexuals have lower locomotor endurance, but they vary depending on which nuclear genomes they possess. Good example of undergraduate-led research, and a valuable connection to current lab projects. (4/4)
Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!
