A French researcher was detained on arrival in the US, his computer and phone confiscated/searched, and his texts criticizing Trump's cuts to scientific research were deemed by DHS agents as "hatred of Trump [that could be] described as terrorism." He was deported the next day.

Drs. Leena Nahata and Shana McCormack met with @JohnFetterman office to highlight the importance of the Special Diabetes Program and @NIH Funding. Want to join our advocacy efforts? Make your voice heard: bit.ly/4kLTJFC #HillDay #FundNIH #FundHealth #SpecialDiabetesProgram #Diabetes #endocrinology

News of the first NIH grant cuts at Columbia medical center have come in. Center grants (including of the diabetes center where I am), training grants for PhD students. PhD students are certainly not the reason for federal budget woes, they are among the most altruistically motivated people, often postponing their own personal dreams in favor of advancing human health. What an utter disappointment.

@bhushanlab Making that transition shortly.

Looking for a SENIOR SCIENTIST who loves being at the bench, but doesn’t want to be a PI. Loves training students and writes well. Preferably an islet biologist- not req’d. Good references. Solid CV. Stem cell experience a + Must already be in US. TIA, Twitterverse. DM me.

@SiegenthalerLab Done. Thx!

@RogersLabUCD Rest.

Honored to receive the 2024 Dean’s Award for Excellence in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging from the Keck School of Medicine!! Thank you for acknowledging the impact of my work @KECKSchool_USC @USCStemCell @ChildrensLA @USC_COMPASS @USCPIBBS @NIDDKgov @Faces0fScience

Very proud of all of my students who presented at the @WRISGMeeting this year. Shout out to my grad student @CualaJanielle and undergrad Kavya Jayapalan for being recognized for their outstanding presentations by @DiabetesRsrch Connection!

For my next NIH resubmission, this will be the only thing that I will include to rebut negative reviewer comments

I'm excited to announce a new collaboration with Dr. @KafuiDzirasa! If you are a molecular/cellular biologist with experience working with human stem cells and are interested in living in the beautiful city of Los Angeles, please apply! Ad attached! 🧠

@MariyaSweetwyne Sending to my lab right now. This is how we introduce lab meeting from now on

@BetaCellBelle I cannot drink coffee on the morning of islet isolations. Hands too unsteady. But as soon as the are in the centrifuge, it’s a cookie butter latte for me!

ASHLEY ALLISON: “If Biden stays in the race I’m going to do every single thing I can to defeat Donald Trump.”

It was my pleasure to speak at NJ Girls State, sponsored by the women of the American Legion Auxiliary chapters around NJ. They invest so much into these young women and their energy and potential is so inspiring. #JerseyGirlsState #GirlsStateAlumnae @ALAJGS

@BetaCellBelle @BetaCellBelle My aunt took me to labs while she was in college and bought me science kits for every holiday! My sis is a microbiologist- I took her to the labs I worked in college. My cousin is a 4th yr grad student in cancer biology at Penn! Plant the seed- it works!
