NIH advisory group recommends $14,000 boost in postdoc pay
The minimum starting salaries of U.S. biomedical postdocs should increase to $70,000, up from the current minimum of $56,484, concludes a report released today by an advisory group to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). “We feel that this is crucial to … protect the U.S. biomedical competitiveness,” said co-chair Shelley Berger, an epigenetics professor at the University of Pennsylvania, during the presentation unveiling the report’s recommendations.

mRNA vaccines may make unintended proteins, but there ’s no evidence of harm
Even after the billions of doses given during the pandemic, messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines still hold surprises. A study out today reveals they may unexpectedly prompt cells to produce small amounts of unintended proteins. There is no evidence that these mistakes compromise the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines, which saved millions of lives, and the researchers have already proposed a fix that may help make future vaccines or drugs based on mRNAs safer and even more effective. Other scientists say there is nothing alarming about the new work, reported today in Nature , and agree that it could help im...
