Trump just continually shooting our country in the face. This unwarranted (and likely illegal) destruction of Goddard is madness. It jeopardizes the next several decades of space exploration.

Maud Menten was born in Canada in 1879 and completed her UG and MD education at University of Toronto. As a research assistant with Leonor Michaelis in 1912, they wrote the classic paper describing the “Michaelis-Menten” model of enzyme kinetics..

I'm happy to see that there will be at least 140 "No Kings" protests across my state of Massachusetts on Saturday. I'll be out there, showing that I oppose this administration's policies. And what's more, I want its officials to have to answer for their mistakes and for their outright crimes.

MS robs people of movement, memory, and independence—with no way to undo the damage. Lairson’s work offers hope that we might not just slow the disease, but reverse it—by reactivating the body’s repair systems to restore myelin and rebuild lost neural function.
