My lab released a new preprint today. The work is the culmination of a long term project led by Peren Coskun, Ph.D., who investigated the biological role of the C. elegans glp-1 3'UTR in its endogenous context. Please join me in congratulating Peren! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I gave a public educational seminar on the history of vaccines yesterday sponsored by @gain-indivisible.bsky.social. I encourage all scientists to give public educational seminars a shot. You’ll learn something and you will be surprised (in a good way) by the people you meet.
My son (the wizard), myself, and @repmcgovern.bsky.social at the #Worcester #NoKings rally put on by @gain-indivisible.bsky.social. It was a glorious day to fight the power with my people. Representative McGovern is my guy, 100%. He shows up and he tells it like it is.

There’s a book from political scientists Macedo and Lee that claims the COVID-19 pandemic was not as much of a threat to public health as was supposed, calling into question the role of expertise. Here, an excellent corrective to that erroneous position: joshuasweitz.substack.com/p/revisionis...

A dialogue confronting the premise of revisionist efforts to diminish the pandemic's severity and dismantle public health institutions.

Newsweek is reporting the RFK plans an outright ban on mRNA vaccines in the United States within a few months. That's a huge mistake. Please, speak out against those who would derail the most promising technology to curb virus spread since Charles Maitland and cow pox.
I did a thing. I wrote a textbook about #RNA. I wrote it so that those without formal science training could understand what RNA is and how it is used in medicine. It releases in the US and Europe on September 8th. www.worldscientific.com/worldscibook...
Very timely review for those of you who have been following all of the recent developments in this area... also @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social why can't we share via bsky directly from the article???

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.
Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.
Grateful to share a microphone and a stage with one of the very best Congresspersons in the nation, @repmcgovern.bsky.social! This was at the #Worcester #NoKings rally. 2000+ energized attendees at the rally behind city hall. #GAIN
Tomorrow we stand together. We stand for democracy. We stand for basic human decency. We stand so that our great Republic will not fall. We need you. We need ALL of you. Stand with us. Together we are Indivisible. Together we will have liberty and justice for all www.facebook.com/share/1AE97P...

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.
Anybody else just completely over all of this? Like, for real? I wear this out of the house most places I go so turds know to leave me alone. What up, palanteeeer.
Research = New Discoveries = Hope Trump = Huge Cuts to #Science = No Research No Research = No Hope Trump = No Hope
