🚨The Government has quietly and suddenly closed the Afghan resettlement scheme, buried in an 138 page document. This scheme - though not without limitations - was a vital lifeline for thousands of Afghans, including women targeted by the Taliban. 1/🧵 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Astonishing evidence at the Covid Inquiry. The Government repeatedly ignored offers from the Crick Institute to provide mass testing on a national scale. Instead, the Government paid Deloitte consultants to project manage, not yet established, privately run labs. 1/2

Happy to share the first paper in my PhD is published in JCB! It's my honor to work with amazing teammates! I really enjoy exploring mitochondrial protein import mechanism through cryo-ET!
Cytoplasmic #ribosomes on #mitochondria alter the local membrane environment for protein import, say Ya-Ting Chang, Danielle Grotjahn (@nanigrotjahn.bsky.social) @scripps.edu and colleagues: rupress.org/jcb/article/... #ProteinHomeostasis #Organelles #StructuralBiology #CryoET
This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Poor show, fellows.
"The view of council is that making judgments on the acceptability of the views and actions of fellows, particularly those that might be regarded as political, could do more harm than good..." If taking action is political then so is failing to act. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
