(I missed the first talk or two because I had to pick up some posterboard and quickly slap together a sign!)

The sign says "Defunding science: bad for Pittsburgh, bad for PA, bad for the USA [& bad for the whole world!]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4nywqjhqirf273xep4nm2gam/bafkreifbtvj3klvxhh2xm75uow3lmmdypiuo2hvti4vliajmtndy36x3vq@jpeg)

Memorable talks included @jeremymberg.bsky.social explaining the assault on NIH funding (while sneaking in a bit of bioinorganic chemistry!) & @repsummerlee.bsky.social giving a barn-burner of a speech in support of science research in Pittsburgh and in the US.

For anyone who hasn't been spending perhaps a little too much time following things online, there may be a #standupforscience2025 rally or walkout near you: standupforscience2025.org/local-event-...

I've been meeting with applicants from two programs who're visiting Pitt this weekend - it was more than a little disconcerting to come out of a poster session yesterday evening and see this everywhere online. (Effects on programs in the med school or that already extended offers seem... unclear.)

Any chance you could add me? After spending too much time with natural products in methanotrophs and actinobacteria as a grad student and postdoc, I'm working on getting my own group up and running!

I only was able to squeeze my way past the crowds to catch Nathalie's poster - Sophie was surrounded when I went by - but I really loved getting to hear about her research! (I think I may have actually been just off-screen in two of those photos, waiting my turn to talk proteins!)
