Excited to be attending @theNASEMβs Summit on Reimagining STEMM Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Career Development over the next two days! So nice to run into some familiar Cornell faces during breakfast π

We traveled to DC to talk to Congressional Staffers about the impact of @NIH @NIBIBgov funding. It enables us to develop synthetic biology tools to advance cell & genetic medicines for patients in need. REPOST to deliver the message that SCIENCE saves lives & makes America great!
Three generations of @aimbe Presidents, I love working with this team! Past-President Joyce Wong (current Prez of @SFBiomaterials) President Lola Eniola-Adefeso President-Elect meeeeeeeeee
Itβs a beautiful day to advocate for biomedical imaging and bioengineering research! We have nearly 50 congressional staffers on NIH campus for our Friends of NIBIB (FoNIBIB), including NIBIB intramural lab tours and MedTech/grantee research demonstrations π @aimbe

Excited to represent @aimbe today at @NIH @NIBIBgov as we host 50 congressional staffers to learn about the latest Discoveries in Health Technology!
I've been to Utah, St. Louis, DC, Warwick, London, and more! Show us your pictures from your lab exploits or your travels over the summer and tag your friends! Can't wait to see all your posts! @JWestendorfPhD @JasonCMarvin @ASBMR #ASBMRsummer
How is it already halfway through July? Great time to check in for @ASBMR #ASBMRsummer to see what everyone's been up to, scientifically and more! I've been traveling all over, sharing science, seeing old friends and making new ones! @emy9941, we should have taken a selfie!

Just in: NIH staff have been instructed to REINSTATE these ~900 grants to comply with the court order, per sources. This comes after staff were also directed to cease any further terminations. You can see the lists grants to be reinstated in my post below.
The judge intends to limit his order to universities in the plaintiff states (CA, MD, WA, AZ, CO, DE, HI, MA, MN, NV, NJ, NM, NY, OR, RI, WI), members of the plaintiff orgs (APHA, UAW), and the researchers named directly, he said today.
Incredibly honored and thankful to be selected as a 2025 Jane Coffin Childs fellow! In such a turbulent time for research in America, this support brings much-needed stability and will let me focus on my work. π§«
