Over 100,000 people here at the #NoKings rally in St. Paul Minnesota. This amazing crowd continues to grow. Our country belongs to all of us, not one person. Trump is forgetting this. He acts like he owns America. He does not. On this day from Alaska to Maine we remind him!
Honored to elected AAAS @aaas.org Honorary Fellow along with amazing @ucsandiego.bsky.social, @ucsdhealthsci.bsky.social and other esteemed colleagues. Congrats to all!!! today.ucsd.edu/story/eight-...

"The other way to put this is that NIH funded 33.1% fewer Hispanic trainees and only 6.3% fewer Non-Hispanic trainees in FY2025...we probably don’t have to think about this too deeply. The anti 'DEI' agenda of the new regime...is probably sufficient"

OMB has posted the full-year apportionments for NIH. openomb.org/file/11511545 I believe this means that NIH now has the spending authority to fund grants! There may be nuances and I will be tracking these as best I can.

Join us in #SanDiego for the ASCB | EMBO Meeting "Cell Bio 2026" from 12–15 December 2026. 🧪 #CellBio2026 is where the #CellBiology community gathers to share and discuss science, #network with peers and grow together as a field. Mark your calendars!
Our newest paper in J. Biol. Chem 10.1016/j.jbc.2026.111190 GPCR biased signaling is orchestrated by caveolae plasma membrane microdomains. Beyond its structural role, Caveolin-1 is regulated by Y-phosphorylation and protein-protein interactions allowing it to actively direct GPCR biased signaling.

Gallego’s whole thing of moderating on policy, radicalizing on tactics/partisanship, and attacking when events allow is pretty clearly trying to find a way through the “popularism/populism/future of Dems” stuff.

Are You AWARE ICE AGENTS ARE INCOMPETENT ICE AGENTS ARE NOT TRAINED Accelerated RECRUITMENT Artificial Intelligence tool used by ICE incorrectly passes on resumes as law enforcement IMPROPER DEPLOYMENT NO 8 WEEK TRAINED "GRAVY SEALS" Call Your Senators No funding ICE 202 224-3121 ICE OUT
No science or nature today. ICE just murdered another person in my home state, an ICU nurse working with vets & now they're trying to frame him for the action . All because ICE is angry & afraid of the 50000 Minnesotans who marched yesterday. If you're not calling Congress you're letting them down
My personal guiding principle has always been "agree where you can and fight where you must." And I believe this is a time when we must fight back.

PARCC@parcc-inserm.bsky.social · 7mo agoDr E Camerer and colleagues @PARCC uncover an essential role for circulating S1P in maintaining blood pressure and left ventricular systolic function. They also highlight distinct functions for the pools of S1P bound to HDL or to albumin. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."
