If you are an NIH funded scientist and have not commented, you are agreeing that this change is a good idea. If, you, like me, think ditching peer review is a bad idea, take the 5 minutes and post a comment.

Thank you @dev-journal.bsky.social. It was great talking to @ingridtsang.bsky.social about my postdoc in the @heisenbergcplab.bsky.social at @istaresearch.bsky.social, future research plans, and more.

@swathiarur.bsky.social

It was fun to write this review with @rcdrula.bsky.social on Dicer functions beyond the canonical RNAi roles, including discussion of its roles in the nucleus. An evolving and sometimes complicated field, that was synthesized beautifully by Rareศ™, a terrific postdoc in the lab. Check it out!

If you're in Texas, check that voter registration ASAP, keep checking it every two or three weeks til election day, and save proof. There's a decent chance you'll be suing the shit out of Texas/ the feds someday in the near future and laughing all the way to the bank.
