Deadline extended to 18 Sept!

The Trump administration has proposed overturning the EPA’s endangerment finding, the science-based determination that greenhouse gases threaten public health.

Join 650+ of your peers who have signed AGU’s letter to defend climate science.

Delighted to see the latest paper from our collab with Terence is out!

🚨 New Crofts lab paper🚨

Functional metagenomic libraries let us study bacterial genes 🧫🧬 from microbiomes💩, even if they've never been annotated with a function before 📒. However, these libraries often require more metagenomic DNA than is available from some samples.

Tone deaf - and also I think wrong. I don't think there even is a B team. Some amazing people will stay. Some amazing people will leave. More probably, some amazing people who would have come will stay away. There will just be a smaller pool to draw from.

Just shared this with my colleagues at my institute. Spread the word!
jeremymberg.bsky.social
So, I emailed the link:

www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

to my kids, some of my former graduate students and post-docs, and a few other friends. All in all, I shared the link with about 30 people.

I asked them to consider signing and to share the link with their own networks.

I signed the Bethesda Declaration and you should too. The costs of eviscerating this incredible engine for health, innovation, and prosperity far outweigh any possible benefits. NIH staff and US taxpayers deserve better.

I signed the Bethesda Declaration and you should too. If not because it's the right thing to do, then because Jay Bhattacharya is a menace to American health and science and he is destroying NIH.

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025
