Modeling whole ascidian embryos for #forksningdagene 😉🧪🧬🔬#devbio

Great clip. About PhDs here on H1B’s that “create entire industries.”

We quantified mRNA abundance, translation, protein abundance, protein degradation and cell growth across thousands of single cells from a mammalian tissue. The results revealed 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 regulation & 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 organizing principles: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵

alert to all H1B holders, please share: Trump just banned H-1B employees from reentering US unless employer pays $100,000 "fee". Proclamation applies to both new H-1B entrants and current H-1B employees who are abroad. set to take effect tmrw sun sept 21. please return if you can. i am so sorry. 😢
