Please RT! I have 2 postdoctoral positions in my lab @BRFAA_IIBEAA to work on MD sims for protein allostery, cryptic pocket identification, CADD/FEP. Knowledge in coarse-grained MD is a plus. More info: linkedin.com/hiring/jobs/42…. Send me an email with your CV if interested!
Anastasia Saar completed her Ph D from @YaleChem on May 22. Congratulations! She begins soon at Sanofi in Cambridge doing computer-aided drug discovery. She is the 56th Ph D from the Jorgensen group.
Basic science is grossly underfunded in the US, but NSF could use some refocusing and better communicating. Exclusive: NSF director to resign amid grant terminations, job cuts, and controversy | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…

Since there has been a lot of misinformation circulating since last night, I find this AAMC infographic helpful in illustrating which types of expenses are and are not covered by NIH indirect cost reimbursements.
Some budgets in$: NSF 9B, NASA 25B, NIH 47B, USAID ca 30B. For NSF, #Chemistry ca 225M and #MaterialsScience ca 275M. Given the impact of Chem and MS, this is absurd. NSF is grossly underfunded, but Chem 0.225/9 = 2.5% is mismanagement. #WakeUp @DOGE
