- Reposted by Ashley EngWhat happens when science funding disappears? At UCSF and the SF VA, labs are laying off staff, trials are paused, and patients are left waiting. Our new Civic episode breaks down how federal cuts — and now a shutdown — are reshaping science in the Bay Area. 🎧

- As part of #McClintockLetters, I wrote a response to an article sharing how federal funding cuts uprooted a neighbor's life. My path to science was directly shaped by my MA public education, and I wouldn't be the scientist and person I am today without it. (1/2)

- Reposted by Ashley EngI’m thrilled to share my first ever publication, now published in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... With mentorship from the amazing @ksxue.bsky.social, I looked at how the outcomes of species introductions to microbial communities are influenced by the number of introduced microbes.
