I cannot wait for the Democratic Party of Virginia to nominate somebody better than @kaine.senate.gov in 2030. Given his cowardice, he should resign and let Gov. Spanberger nominate someone who will fight for Virginia.

New paper out 🔥! Small promoter, big potential🧬 We show that the ultra-compact Calm1 promoter efficiently targets human neurons in brain organoids and is a promising alternative to hSyn for AAV gene delivery. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to this work! 🧠 📄: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I don't think you non-science people realize what it takes to get a grant funded by NIH. Started experiments in Sept 2021 to generate 3 new mouse mutants to model human disease. Prelim dara shows they have relevant disease phenotypes worthy of study. Need a small grant first to characterize /1

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

There's an audio recording of him, not an aide, asking for votes to swing a state in a Presidential election and that wasn't enough to get him locked up or even keep him from the White House

When formerly incarcerated people are able to obtain work, it tends to be a low-paying position with little job security, keeping them well below the poverty line. “The No. 1 contributor to recidivism is poverty,” says a spokesperson for the Prison Policy Initiative.

the message sent dropping this late on a Friday afternoon right before most of UVA is effectively shut down for two weeks could not be more clear. they know this is deeply unpopular and completely illegitimate.

The BOV must be high on its own supply. He could ~*~literally~*~ be the best person for the job and this sham of a search has tainted it. Though, again, given that he said yes, the idea that he's good at making decisions is called into question. www.chronicle.com/article/amid...

Absolutely embarrassing for everyone involved at UVA. Just, on the most basic level, does he not have friends?

As 2025 comes to a close, my university (Dalhousie U in Halifax, Canada) is recruiting faculty, including outstanding early career researchers, and Canada Research Chairs. Applications are due January 19 2026 (was just notified today!). Please repost.

The “deal” that UVA signed with Trump means that it is now unlawful for UVA administrators to do anything—anything at all—with the goal of addressing these shameful statistics. Not because federal law prohibits it. But because UVA made the choice to go along with Trump/DOJ’s radical race agenda.
