A feature in Nature explores how research into developing ways to probe layers of consciousness in the human brain could inform how scientists search for awareness in all its possible forms. 🧪

Very cool! How do cytosolic ribosomes discriminate between ER and mitochondria targeted proteins? NAC recognizes mitochondrial targeting sequences! Very important since over 95% of the mitochondrial proteome is translated in the cytosol and then imported to mitochondria. Congrats!

Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant. The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace. Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable. No one is above the law.

A very clear example of how threatened free speech and democracy are right now in America

Queue up the status quo consultants: “this is a Distraction from kitchen table issues.” Our kingdom for a Senator who can tie Medicaid, killing cancer cures, and bodying @padilla.senate.gov all up into one coherent message on Trump tyranny and harm to America.

It’s now Marxist to understand that the Constitution only authorizes Congress to impose tariffs.

So we’re penalizing single moms’ FOOD benefits so we can save $300M, but we’re okay with blowing $45M + street repair costs on a parade?? Not to mention $26M on golf outings for dear leader & the trillions in tax cuts for the uber wealthy. Disgraceful redistribution of 💵. 😡
