The American Dream once promised that talent and hard work could open doors. For early career scientists, those doors are now closing. Research is being paused or studies outright canceled, funding delayed or completely pulled, and careers cut short—not because of bad science, but because of changing political priorities. Researchers are being forced to choose: leave science or leave the country. These setbacks send a clear message: the U.S. commitment to supporting the next generation of scientists is waning.

We are pleased to announce the GSA Poster Award recipients from the 25th International Worm Meeting! Undergraduate and graduate student GSA members were eligible for these awards, and a hard-working team of judges made the determinations. Congratulations to all! Kehinde Joan Abayomi, Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory Category: Gene Regulation & Genomics Poster title: “Transcriptome…

Beth De Stasio of Lawrence University will serve as Senior Editor and work with a newly formed team of six Associate Editors to expand the publication of Primers in GENETICS.

The U.S. has long been a global leader in science, but that position is at risk. As research funding drops and political pressures rise, scientists, particularly in academia and research institutes, are at a crossroads—what will happen to their labs and their research? Innovation is slowing, and the next generation of researchers is being driven out. Without renewed support, the future of American science and the benefits it brings to our nation could be lost.

We’re thrilled to announce the Spring 2025 recipients of the DeLill Nasser Award for Professional Development in Genetics! Awarded twice a year, these grants help graduate students and postdocs take the next step in their careers—whether that’s attending a scientific meeting, participating in a lab course, or connecting with the broader genetics community. The award…

The Genetics Society of America continuously evaluates the needs of our community, including members from across career stages. The newly established Engagement and Professional Development Committee (EPDC)—comprised of early career scientists (ECS), mid-career and established faculty, and non-academic staff— will provide guidance regarding professional development programming to ensure GSA is offering timely and relevant career…

A recent benchmarking study in GENETICS evaluates how well leading ARG methods estimate population-level polygenic score histories.
