So glad (not) we are the poster nation for science destruction and willful ignorance. 😖

250 years. It was a good run. (gift link)

Fabulous work in which Martial Balland and his colleagues revealed the information hidden in fluctuations rather than mean values.

#Medsky🧪 #Publichealth Most epigenetic-editing platforms, rather than making changes to the DNA itself, modify the markers attached to DNA. That is thought to be safer for two reasons: first, the system can’t mistakenly cut in the wrong place, www.nature.com/articles/d41...

No live nuclear label? No problem. Use artificial labelling to infer DAPI-like nuclei, then use #NucleiSky to align your data. For instance, to connect live imaging data to fixed Cell Painting images.

This is my first paper. A brief introduction of myself.

I wrote a mini review about host-fungal interactions, reflecting on what I've learned since starting my lab. A few bits of advice in here for new PIs! Check it out here: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... #immunosky #microsky 🧪 🍄

I need y'all to understand that I teach high school and there are teenagers already planning to leave the U.S. to because they will be studying science or medicine. They are SO serious about it - saving money, learning extra languages, and looking to see if there are familial connections abroad.

Two researchers — one in Massachusetts and one in Shanghai — hoped for the same breakthrough: a gene therapy for deaf children. New Chinese investment in science propelled the one who got there first. n.pr/4weVi49

You may have heard about the OMB rule change that will put politics over federal grants. However bad you think it is? It's probably worse. Thanks to @theverge.com for letting me report this one out. There is still time to comment. bit.ly/4v2X4nQ

People have been wondering why Pharma hasn’t been doing more to protect public research, and one reason may be that it would rather try to weather this storm than draw too much attention to this fact. The number of modern drugs that could’ve existed without major public investment is virtually zero.

One prominent group has been totally silent about the Trump administration’s latest attempt to grab control of all federal science funding. That’s the biopharma companies, and their suddenly shy, quiet CEOs. Here’s the calculation they’re making:
