💔 💔💔

Hello, I am a scientist in a film. All my liquids are brightly coloured. The time it takes to perform tests and experiments is dependent on plot requirements, not biology or chemistry. Also, my safety glasses are extremely stylish.

I’ve been trying to find the words to express my sadness at the loss of precious life in Texas, but there are none. My heart is with all the victims of the flood and those who love them 💔

We are so excited to share our manuscript describing the genetic architecture in a diverse, international cohort of childhood-onset lupus patients. -We found that cSLE patients have a high burden of BOTH common and rare SLE risk variants 🧬🔬🦋 #lupus #genomics #cSLE lupus.bmj.com/content/12/1...

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world. Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
