It was wonderful seeing so many friends and colleagues ar ACA2025! We had our usual Gonen Lab dinner with past present and future members. Sorry to have missed @EmmaDanelius @maxclabbers and Anna. Good to see how wonderful everyone is doing

Cap it at $0...
Today, @NIH announced a new policy to cap how much publishers can charge NIH-supported scientists to make their work publicly accessible. This reflects our broader effort to restore public trust in public health by creating an open, honest, and transparent research atmosphere.

@Nature HHS and NIH need to take immediate action to prohibit use of HHS and NIH funds to pay bogus new "article processing fees" or "article development charges" assessed on NIH-supported papers. @NIHDirector_Jay @SecKennedy

Publishing means making an article public. This can be done for free online like BioRxiv or nihms. No need to pay journals a single dime
@Nature If this news story is correct, science publishers Nature-Springer, Elsevier, and ACS will start, effective July 1, charging authors of NIH-supported papers additional new fees of "hundreds to thousands of dollars" above the extortionate publication fees they already charge.

A new study led by @VashKurdistani has uncovered a surprising survival strategy in cells that may help explain how MYC-driven cancers survive and grow despite limited resources. Learn more about the findings:

I hope UC, which is one of Californias biggest employers, is likewise engaged in such discussions to keep our federal funding intact. Losing federal funding at UC will be a disaster for the state, the country and for science.

Since #MicroED demonstrated the first successful structure determination from 3D crystals using electron diffraction there are now sufficient numbers of structures in PDB and CSD to warrant a survey and the establishment of GOLD STANDARDS for MicroED. https://t.co/P2Bp5hvG1U
