We will be reporting on this protest today. This protest has been organised by Norwich Trans Pride following a recent ban on trans women joining the Women's Institute and Girlguiding.

Sometimes I sit and think about what it means that our nation has so completely tied health insurance to working and that is: “If you can’t work and aren’t independently wealthy, you can just go ahead and die!” And it’s so messed up.

For those interested 🐠

The funniest part of scientific bias is when grant reviewers say zebrafish can’t model human cancer… while the tumor cells and immune cells in the data are literally showing them otherwise in HD! We can’t advance the field if we keep clinging to outdated assumptions.We need better reviewers clearly!

I taught Genetics again this year. We need to include discussion of the problematic history of our field, especially as the claims of eugenics are once again centered in our political discourse. Last year I wrote this piece, explaining my reasoning and approach 🧪 1/n www.cell.com/trends/genet...

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

If you dont think there's a rental market issue in NYC and actually in NY metropolitan area you live in another world! We live in a suburban area and our rent went up $1000 in two years! There's no houses in our school district so landlords take advantage of families like ours that cannot move!

WTF😤😡🤬

GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

Neutrophil Reverse Migration is NOT a #zebrafish phenomenon. It is real and occurs in humans at higher rate than we think 😬

Blatant corruption on full display.

#KnowYourZDM: ~1 out of 15 infants born worldwide will be affected by a rare hereditary disease during their lifetime. #Zebrafish are uniquely suited for studying these diseases as there is a high level of genetic conservation. Learn more in this open-access review 👉 jmg.bmj.com/content/55/1... 🧪

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

#GVerse The man who shoot those two West Virginia National Guard in DC was working with the CIA. He was vetted by #Shit4Brain's administration. #Shitface is lying about everything.

Amber Czech was 20 yo when her coworker bludgeoned her to death bc he didn’t like her. Nicole Hammond was 28 when her colleague shot her for refusing his sexual advances. Rong Yuan was poisoned by her coworker for over a year bc he was jealous of her. Per the NYTimes, *women* ruined the workplace.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

Actual causes of death in the US and media coverage of same. And then we wonder why people have such a skewed understanding of the world. @ourworldindata.org is a treasure. Thanks, @hannahritchie.bsky.social and colleagues. ourworldindata.org/does-the-new...

Yes, sadly it is real.

We’ve got page proofs. Time for one final, close read of this thing and then it’s out of my hands forever.

I was in medical school then, having already earned a 3.97 GPA in biomedical engineering. And the president of freaking Harvard said people like me were not suited for science. He still had a high-powered, prestigious career after that but tell me again about how cancel culture ruins men’s lives.

#ZebrafishFunFacts: Known to hobbyists as the leopard Danio, TL or Tüpfel longfin #zebrafish consist of two alleles (leo and lof). leo is a gap junction protein (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles...), while lof is caused by upregulation of a K+ channel (journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...). 🧪 1/2

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Grijalva: That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files. Justice cannot wait another day.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The closed captioning is devastating

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

A few weeks ago I wrote about a 13 year old boy from Massachusetts who had been abducted by ICE and sent to a detention center in Virginia. I wrote about the trauma of a child being separated from his family and community, and I posed the question: What are we doing here? I have some updates. 🧵
