Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

NHGRI’s comm team was exceptionally good and if anyone is looking for a talented science communicator, you should snap up Jenny as soon as possible.

So long, NIH. The place I grew up in and discovered my passion for science communication. I found a true calling to help take innovative genomics research and make it accessible, interesting and fun for wider audiences. I'm so devastated that my whole team got laid off today.
