Transcription, signal transduction, cell biology - its all good.

Bill Ackman is taking a new approach to brain injuries- focusing more on what can be done now rather than later ie investing in basic or translational research. maybe it is a good thing to leave major hospitals out of this approach. wish we could help, but alas we are basic scientists.

In a scathing piece, she described the admissions process as “less like careful evaluation and more like chance” at the prestigious California college.
