Together with Assembly Members Luz Rivas and Eduardo Garcia and Senator Henry Stern we are taking action to create the nation's first ranking system for heat wave impacts to protect Californians from this silent killer @AsmLuzRivas @asmegarciaad56 @SenHenryStern (1/n)

CA leaders announce first-in-nation heat wave ranking: Insurance Commissioner Lara, Assembly Members Rivas and Garcia, and Senator Stern propose to create early warning system to help protect Californians from climate change-intensified heat-related deaths and injuries.

Third doses for some before first doses for all may be politically inevitable but is ethically indefensible. Sadly, right now we remain in a zero-sum world—more vaccines for some mean fewer for others. We MUST do more to vaccinate the world, including by expanding production.

@WittmannTorsten @JeffreyHaren Thank for the shoutout Torsten! I feel so lucky I got to make the leap into neuronal cell biology with you and Jeff and establish iPSC-derived neurons in the lab.

@warghetti This is also a mental and public health issue and reflects on the failings of the system. If you are thinking about suicide, please call the Embrace Lifeline at 1564.

@chehayebk That's heart breaking! Talking about suicide can be triggering and lead to contagion though. I recommend always linking to a hotline/resource when it is mentioned. Is there a hotline you can link to? I found the Embrace Lifeline (1564) but not sure if it's a good option.

2 suicides documented in #Lebanon today: One young man from Hermel shot himself by the Sarroula Building on #Beirut's Hamra street Another young man found dead in his home in Saida Notes left & preliminary evidence indicate that the cases were linked to economic hardship

Immigrants lead and support research to develop medical treatments, track the spread of COVID-19, improve food safety, and much more. Preventing scientists from entering the U.S. will harm American science and threatens our scientific leadership. fcld.ly/mhn0wi7

Magnum opus of @lisabaker12345 and colleagues. Fidgetin-like 2 is a novel negative regulator of axonal growth and can be targeted to promote functional nerve regeneration after injury. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The dismissal of 54 grads students at UCSC for their fight for a living wage is outrageous and shameful. Let's SHOW UP and SUPPORT @payusmoreucsc this Wed. at noon for a sit-in at both UCSF campuses (PARN: UCSF Library; MB: Genentech Hall) #cola4all

From losing 30 percent of their salaries because of the inflated dollar exchange rate to not receiving their salaries at all, this is how migrant workers are being affected by the economic crisis –and how we can lighten their load. 📽: Lujain Jo

When the Lebanese government is just musical chairs. Our choices were all an illusion. Our options were always the same. Let's change that! #Lebanon #لبنان_ينتفض
