Amazing day of Down syndrome research at the Linda Crnic Institute Annual Symposium! @CrnicInstitute

@JJLiebig People want their representatives to step up and stop this madness, but no one's got the balls to stand up the orange in chief. Apathetic isn't how I'd describe it, more angry and completely unsure of how to make any meaningful change.

@JJLiebig The majority of Americans were lied to, and many believed the lies. I think it also boils down to a lack of clear avenues for an individual citizen to make a difference. If our elected representatives aren't representing their constituents, there's not much a single person can do

Americans: Lol Europoors and ur shit 20% VAT LMAO Also Americans: Akshually, we prefer 40% VAT ourselves LOL eat shit noobs USA USA USA

@Taylor_Made20 Dude I was almost screaming at my TV lmao, what a show

Severance S2 finale was wild.

Happy #WorldDownSyndromeDay 2025 from the Crnic Institute Boulder Branch!!!

We had a blast celebrating #WorldDownSyndromeDay at CU Boulder Main Campus with our Crnic Boulder Branch scientists!

@smartereveryday And this post has become a beacon for right-wing bots to do the same. I understand we may differ politically, but this is sad to see as a long time fan of yours Destin. Peaceful protest at the current middle school bully mindset of the American government should be encouraged.

I'm noticing a lot of calls for protest today from faceless entities on Reddit. Just a reminder that there are forces that don't want America to be unified.

@wesrucker247 Greetings from a very cold Vol in Colorado!

If you live in East Tennessee, step outside tomorrow, feel that cold, and then remind yourself that so many people choose to live in places where it's routinely that cold or colder for a chunk of the year. If you want me to move north of here, you'll have to pay or shoot me.

@CBB_CUBoulder Woohoo! Go @GiuliaPasquesi!

Congrats to our fellow Crnic Boulder Branch researchers for their most recent publication in Cell!!! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@jorjudje Lou Wilson's laugh is medicinal I swear

ally beardsley is the funniest person alive but especially to the intrepid heroes

@JJLiebig @pathofexile Oh hell yeah. Might have to play some POE this weekend! Thanks JJ

@Steadmils @pathofexile Yep, no more linking only sockets and all sockets are "white"

no more 5 flasks, instant buy ty @pathofexile

@jaredpolis @RobertKennedyJr As a research scientist in your state, yikes man. Spin it however you like, but RFK does not follow science and should not be in a position of power over it. I'm glad @hankgreen already worded it better than I ever could, but damn, this is disappointing.

Re my thoughts on @RobertKennedyJr, Science must remain THE cornerstone of our nation’s health policy and the science-backed decision to get vaccinated improves public health and safety. But if as a country we follow the science we would also be far more concerned about the impact of pesticides on public health, ag policy on nutrition, and the lack of access to prescription drugs due to drug high prices. This is why I am for a major shake-up in institutions like the FDA that have been barriers to lowering drug costs and promoting healthy food choices. Lest there by any doubt, I am vaccinated as is my family. I will hold any HHS Secretary to the same high standard of protecting and improving public health.

@danielleradford I said "DANIELLE" out loud like an upset mother, and I don't know where that came from lmao

Huh, looks unhooded to me

@appodlachia Knox County, TN. App-uh-latch-uh all day!

Survey time: If you grew up in one of the ARC defined counties, we want to know how you pronounce “Appalachia.” Drop your state and county in a reply with your pronunciation

@Josh_Ward Bishop. I knew Sampson was a monster but man, Bishop can really do some work too.

Which Tennessee player has been the most pleasant surprise through the Vols’ first four games?

@NahazDota Boxi's Tusk, what a monster.

Also I have to admit I haven’t been able I to stop looking back at stuff from TI13. The tournament meta was actually pretty 💩 compared to previous TIs but the level of play, esp top supports… just wow. Made me optimistic again about the pro Dota scene.

@Prokaryota As a second year grad student back in like 2018, I was berated so badly at my poster that the presenter next to me thought the man was my PI. I had just met him. He would ask questions and then cut me off by saying "you're not answering my question" while I was trying to answer.

My professional blacklist was almost entirely forged in the fires of various poster sessions. How someone treats the most junior people in the room tells me everything I need to know about them.

@ScienceYael I didn't quite have the timing down on mine when I defended... held my poor committee hostage for 90 minutes of me talking 😂

Just did a full dress rehearsal, in the space, for my PhD defense seminar tomorrow! T minus 24 hours, ahhhhhh 🎊🧠 just have to cut 15 minutes off the time 😅
