Gregory Matveev, our star master student, has been selected for a podium talk in the upcoming telomere/telomerase meeting at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory @CSHL- a rare golden opportunity for trainees. Here is Greg presenting his work to @CeiFccc @FoxChaseCancer. He is excited to face the toughest audience possible and receive valuable feedback for his discovery on telomerase. #cshltelo

BAD BAD

[NIH @NIH]

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

Congratulations to @EMGSUS member Erik Larson for his new study in @NatureComms about the role of DNA breaks at G-quadruplexes in polycystic kidney disease https://t.co/j8yBrFYRny

[Dr Pamela L Gay @starstryder]

Never have I more wanted a news report to be wrong.

Per WaPo, all federal grants were just defunded. For me, that is 33% of my income. I'll live. I'm still 20% funded and have my art and writing.

Most scientists don't have side hustles.
