There's a huge shift happening from petro to bio: in September the White House issued an executive order developing a strategy for the $1T US Bioeconomy. In March it published a set of 'bold goals'. I'm going to highlight some of the key people turning the wheels of government.. 
.@glagoudas serves as the Senior Advisor for Biotechnology and Bioeconomy at the White House Office of Science & Tech Policy. Georgia is responsible for implementing the Executive Order.
Ali Douraghy is the Principal Deputy Under Secretary for Science & Innovation at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), where he leads oversight responsibilities for a $15 billion portfolio of activities.
This week FC1 (Filter Cavity [mirror] #1) was installed in the @LIGOWA's new HAM7 vacuum chamber for the new @LIGO A+ Filter Cavity.
FC1 is a triple suspension mirror. This work was also installed in @LIGOWA's NEW "Mega Cleanroom"!

Here the HAM7 #vacuum chamber is partially opened up. The FC1 suspension is shyly hiding inside it's protective cover as TJ (Lead Operator), Travis Sadecki (Operations Specialist), & Rahul Kumar (Suspension [SUS] Detector Engineer) prepare for installation.

FC1 Uncovered!
This @LIGO Triple Suspension currently has a "dummy weight" suspended at the bottom, this "dummy" will be replaced with its mirror next! TJ is in this photo.

It's graduate fellowship application season. I won the NSF and NDSEG in Machine Learning last year, but never knew if I was "doing it right" and I felt underprepared and demotivated. To help fewer people feel that way, I've posted my application materials: drive.google.com/drive/folders/…
My biggest advice is to make every single sentence relate to the fellowship criteria. To help with this, I designed a new template for the NSF essay that makes it completely clear the Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts of each experience.
The equivalent to this for the NDSEG is to spend time at the beginning making it totally obvious why the DoD should care about your research. I spent almost a page on this, before even mentioning anything technical.

Lately I have been talking to some students and friends about various places to look for academic positions. Because there is no ONE-FOR-ALL space to find opportunities, here is a thread summarizing the ones I know of 1/34 #AcademicTwitter #phdchat #phd #internationalPhD
Having said that, I must emphasize that this #database is skewed towards #Asians and #Indians (and other #internationals) to study in #EU #UK or #USA in general and is certainly not exhaustive. I have no info. on #NSF grants for example or grants within India. 2/34
Most importantly, I’m hoping this thread helps #colouredwomeninSTEM & #WomeninSTEM, please feel free to RT. And as a #biologist, I am more aware of databases in #ecology, #wildlife, #evolution and #conservation circles, feel free to add more and share. Let’s dive right in! 3/34
The $1.4 trillion bipartisan, bicameral funding agreement announced today rejects the devastating and shortsighted cuts proposed by President Trump and makes historic investments in the American people and working families. #Appropriations appropriations.senate.gov/news/minority/…
The agreement supports children and families by making an historic investment in Child Care and Development Block grants ($5.8 billion), meaning as many as 44,000 more children will be served by the program. #Appropriations
It supports child nutrition programs that provide over 31 million children with lunch during each school day, and ensures that 6 million women, infants, and children receive the nutritional support they need through the #WIC program. #Appropriations
After a jam-packed 2 days at #SciOut18🌪(thx @ASBMB & @rockedu_!) it was time to reflect! 🤔 Reflection is so important, but it can be hard to find ⏰ to really just think! 💭 Some of my thoughts 👉 instagram.com/p/BokNO_NhihF/

What’s inside? 🧐 It’s FORMAMIDE! 🤗 Formally removing RNA’s form with formamide! 🤓 FORMAMIDE in loading buffer breaks up & replaces the bonds between bases holding RNA's shape together 👇

Bring on the heat! 🔥 To help denaturants get to the huddling hydrophobic bases, we add heat ♨️ 👉 gives molecules more energy so they can “pull apart” more easily ⏩ easier access 👍 More 👇
