A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter. By @avaskham thetransmitter.org/funding/federa…

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases. I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share – I’m trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known. People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at octant.bio.

My book, An Intuitive Primer on Effective Functional Genomics Study Design, is published! I’d really appreciate it if you could help spread the word, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. It’s available on Amazon: tinyurl.com/mx2hewen

A story of transposons, innate immunity, and how human (and primates) possess an endogenous system to tune interferon response through the relative expression level of a signaling receptor and its alternatively spliced decoy.

This was going to be accurate ~10 years ago

This is so true! @MashaAndTheBear

Final product

Pasta making with toddler! Started as a nice shared project and ended up in pure sabotage by toddler (who eventually had to be removed). Will see how it tastes!

Happy Halloween 🎃

This guy has been going around our very residential neighborhood with no fear of humans or cars… he is clearly searching for food…
