Friends, I am at a loss of words for how devastating it would be to lose the entire intramural #NIH program. Some of the biggest medical and scientific breakthroughs have come from scientists in the NIH Intramural program. #SaveTheNIH

They’re invested in the journey to discover truths, find cures for diseases, create knowledge, advance science. If not stopped, these actions will destroy labs and institutions. The loss will be irreparable, impact society at each level. Heartbreaking stories from those affected.

Photos from the rally last week to support science, protest firings at NIH, NSF & budget cuts for research. Careers of people who worked hard for science & public service have been lost. There were many young people, including students from my lab, who’re anxious about the future

Good to visit congressional offices this week as a member of APS @APSphysics (as chair-elect of @ApsDbio), to advocate for science funding, enhancing STEM workforce and other APS policy priorities: https://t.co/B6Xrra0AbM.
#APSCVD2025 Hope it has impact in these disturbing times.

Read our recently published review on mechanosensing in immune cells. Excellent survey of the literature by @AashliPathni @IvnRey15 and @WaghKaustubh!
In their Review, @AashliPathni, @arpcomplex and colleagues discuss mechanical regulation of lymphocyte activation & function and explore the role of cytoskeletal force generation in mechanosensing. https://t.co/mieXzwC20t

Amazing!
A dream of our lab has been to image the full central dogma from a single endogenous gene, all live and with single molecule resolution. After many years we are happy to unveil a beautiful cell line that makes it possible. Check out our preprint ( https://t.co/Fb7L1fYFRn)! (1/n)
