For those of you who aren't aware, cancelling Harvard's F and J visas does not just affect students. It also affects many, many postdoctoral researchers.

And critically, it affects OPT holders. These are graduates who stayed here to work in the US, they cannot "transfer"

As promised, an overview of @Roche 's new sequencing tech.

Comparable to Illumina NGS in accuracy & read length, but FAST - 5B reads in an hour!

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.

US science is under attack
‘Americans who value the spirit of discovery — and eagerly await new ways to confront disease, strengthen our economy and improve the quality of human life — need to issue a strong outcry.’ – Harold Varmus

@shanmeltzer On the same boat but started a year ago. It is definitely another LEVEL starting this year

Stefano’s remark on John can’t be more accurate — I felt no one I met has a stronger and more determined voice than John. He is truly a fiercely independent thinker. His standards and dedications on scientific rigor are paramount. R.I.P. John

This is such disastrous news for universities! I cannot imagine how many universities many go bankrupt because of this

[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.

@EvomicsLab @G__Fischer @liti_nice Thanks! I can see it now

[Pengyao Jiang @pyjiang]

@EvomicsLab @G__Fischer @liti_nice Somehow the database link doesn’t work

[EvomicsLab @EvomicsLab]

Our ScRAPdb paper is finally out at @NAR_Open > https://t.co/xtFRx6BReF , in which we assembled a #pangenome x #multiomics database for the iconic model organism S. cerevisiae. This is one step forward for the ScRAP project and we expected many more to come. Read more >
