Serious question: Why can the NIH not change its requirement to publish grant review session announcements in the Federal Register? Trump changes the rules in order to further his fascist agenda; why can the public service organizations he’s gutting not change the rules as well?

[nature @Nature]

About a month after Donald Trump took office as the 47th US president, almost all grant-review meetings remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget.

This isn’t about accountability—it’s a power grab. Weakening independent agencies like the SEC & FTC means less oversight, more corporate abuse, and fewer protections for the public. #ChecksAndBalances https://t.co/UUQVYY8osE

How is the grip of fanaticism so strong in this country? I can't stand this. 2021 was supposed to be better.

@knutdrescher Excited to take this for a spin!

I've been pretty absent from Twitter the last few months, but popping in to share this postdoc opportunity in the amazing Harwood lab (our neighbors)!

[Carrie Harwood @csh5_harwood]

Post-doctoral position open in Seattle to study the stringent response and bacterial longevity using an alpha-proteobacterium that stays fully viable for MONTHS (!) when in growth-arrest as a model. Contact Carrie Harwood at [email protected].

The @MattParsek lab is settling in to its new space. @cklanch @Holly_M_Jacobs @DreifusJulia @JeffreyNC @CourtReichhardt

@ArmitageDW Seems plausible! It does look rather like Exophiala dermatitidis, so maybe some psychrotrophic relative of that?

Everyone already posted their "back to lab" pics, but I didn't go back to lab until yesterday for reasons. So my pic is these friends (not the E. coli) who grew on an old plate while I was gone. Any ID suggestions? LB + 10 μg/mL Tet left at 4 °C since March.

@ContamClub My "back to lab" pic: an LB + 10 μg/mL Tet plate left at 4 °C since March. Accepting ideas of what these lil non-E. coli friends are!

[Jeffrey Carey, PhD, VMD @JeffreyNC]

@Prokaryota @ContamClub Oh excellent, going there now!

My husband organized this event tomorrow for his nonprofit, Legal Clinic for the Disabled (@lcdphila). Join in if you can!

I was opening it up to grab an en dash, btw.

[Jeffrey Carey, PhD, VMD @JeffreyNC]

I just now noticed that my "favorites" symbol list includes the em dash, en dash, and minus sign and am wondering if this is a sign of a bigger problem.

@friendlymicrobe's super talk at #CITERASM2020 turned me on to this amazing paper she wrote with @DiggleLab and her follow-up just posted to @biorxiv_micrbio.

NOT OK.

I’m actually just mortified right now, like I’m in tears. You try and do something good for the campus community & answer any questions about Fall and get this. This is why it is so hard being Black @UCBerkeley

Shame on @AmericanAir for downplaying public safety to boost their stock price. I know what airline I WON'T be flying back to Seattle on. https://t.co/38wUPnMhC1

[The Social Biofilm Network @Social_Biofilms]

Are you an URM with an expertise in biofilms? Would you be willing to give a talk at both virtual and in person biofilm conferences? Great! Message us your name, e-mail, institution, where you're at in your career (UG, GS, PD, PI, etc), and some details about what you study.

[Jeffrey Carey, PhD, VMD @JeffreyNC]

Yay, @ScarletSam's paper is out! It's about how a tiny membrane protein in E. coli represses an important signaling system.
