The deadline is approaching! NIH is proposing changes to how peer review is used in funding decisions and how outcomes are reported and they want to hear from you. Comments are due by October 13! Comment here: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

One of my favorite papers from our lab. Not only does it show heterogeneity is important in development, but it also points to division of labor: clones divvy up tasks in the organism based on their relative ability to perform well at a given fate! I like to think of it as "embryo economics".

We find that the centromere re-establishes at the site of deletion, but CENP-A organization is disrupted, resulting in highly variable domains—some reaching 10× the normal length!

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.
