Cutting NIH to save budget is like cutting the front lobe of brain to lose weight. It’s <1% of body weight yet it governs reasoning and problem solving functions of the brain, basically determining how smart you are. Dumb move to send IT kids to do your brain surgery, America.

An international @BMBCaltech graduate student has been UNFAIRLY TERMINATED after reporting years of abuse, harassment, discrimination, & research misconduct of their PI. Over 400 @Caltech students have signed a petition to demand the REINSTATEMENT of this graduate student.

You ever spend so much time on a manuscript that you absolutely hate it by the time it is finished?

Lots of sex shaming of gay men around monkeypox. The same shaming we saw in the 1980s re HIV. Lecturing people not to have sex isn’t a public health strategy. It didn’t stop HIV — it made it worse — & it won’t stop monkeypox. What will work is vaccination, testing & education.

@EmilyDykhuizen @SijieWang5 @KrusemarkLab Congratulations @SijieWang5 🎉🥳🎊

Congratulations to Dr. Wang @SijieWang5! A great defense and an outstanding body work. You probably should have gotten two PhDs, one from each lab! @KrusemarkLab

During my PhD, I got alot of unhelpful advice Now I'm a PhD supervisor, I know 💯 what I needed to hear 4 things every PhD student should know 🧵 #phdchat @thoughtsofaphd @PhD_Genie @thephdstory @HaPhDsupervisor @Dissertating

@MattooLab @sherlenebrown93 @bordetella_org @UBC @PurdueBiochem @PurdueBiolSci @PurdueScience Congrats @sherlenebrown93 This is awesome 👏🏽☺️

Kudos to @MattooLab grad student Sherlene Brown @sherlenebrown93 - gave a great talk & fielded exciting questions at the @bordetella_org 13th International #Bordetella Symposium at @UBC, Vancouver 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 #ProudPI @PurdueBiochem @PurdueBiolSci @PurdueScience

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

If you’re against abortion, don’t get one. If you’re against contraception, don’t take any. If you’re against same-sex relationships, don’t have one. If you’re against same-sex marriage, don’t marry someone of same gender. Do not impose your beliefs & religion on all Americans.

So, to sum up the Supreme Court’s week: life begins at conception and ends in a mass shooting.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, a septic uterus, or a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion. If you can’t get those abortions, you die. You. Die.

That tenure track faculty position isn’t worth living in a state that is going to infringe upon your civil and human rights.

Los que andan burlándose y toreando a los que perdieron ayer solo están afectando al presidente electo y dividiendo aún más el país. Mal. Recuerden que en la victoria se conoce al caballero.

Me vi la entrevista que le hizo @torrenegra a Hernández, y la que le hizo a Petro. La diferencia entre los dos es abismal, tanto, que me animé a hacer mi primer defensa pública a Petro. (porque me he dedicado a hablar de por que no votar por el otro) Abro hilo 🧵
