Do you have an @NIH grant app waiting to be reviewed in Oct? A long govt shutdown could cancel study sections and require you to resubmit in Jan. with review in June. Call your Representative and tell them what a shutdown would mean to your lab. ow.ly/IaxT50PP9pw

Spend your Fourth of July with friends and family, and not with us! Of course, we’re here if you need us, but leave the fireworks to the pros. The most common injuries from accidents involving fireworks are burns, and injuries to the hands, head, neck, and eyes.
