please re-post so we get more great stories in there!
Breakthroughs happen when diverse expertise is woven together. Collaboration can be messy—different vocabularies, different tools—but it’s worth it. We made a video with @MinuteEarth about it. 🎥 @fviromics.bsky.social @payeldas.bsky.social & Drew Kramer #EEID
Slashing $23B from NIH & NSF isn't fiscal responsibility—it's a $32B economic loss. Science investments return 140–210%, compounding over time. No single administration can claim the credit, but any can cause the damage. Cuts like this aren’t just shortsighted—they’re bad business. bit.ly/dogefail

Time Sensitive: Public comment on Schedule F (removing civil service protections for many federal employees INCLUDING THOSE WITH AUTHORITY OVER GRANTS) ends tomorrow. Notice is here: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/... . Comment here (green button) www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... .
🚨 Our team just released a reproducible Docker pipeline for RNAseq assembly and annotation designed for nonmodel organisms!
We're using it to explore how bats manage viral infections, but it's built for broad utility in wildlife transcriptomics. @viralemergence.org

A crowd-sourced site. Health and Well-being. National Security. Prosperity.
Motivation: Many transcriptome creation workflows are not standardized, are difficult to install or share, prone to breaking as dependencies update or cease to be maintained and are resource intensive...
