Science delivers medicines, clean air and water, safe food, and smarter choices—saving billions of lives. Proposed cuts to @NIH and @NSF would shutter labs, stall new cures, hurt our economy, and send future scientists elsewhere. Hear from patients saved by science: tinyurl.com/m65339fh.

Let’s not forget that July 4th is also the anniversary of Lou Gehrig’s epic speech (1939) at Yankee Stadium

@Reuters If you solubilize plastic is that better or worse?

Researchers in Japan have developed a plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours, offering up a potential solution for a modern-day scourge polluting oceans and harming wildlife reut.rs/43YPrV3

@MLB Happy birthday to a legend!

It’s now clear that the @realDonaldTrump Administration computed reciprocal tariffs without using tariff data. This is to economics what creationism is to biology, astrology is to astronomy, or RFK thought is to vaccine science. The Trump tariff policy makes little sense EVEN if you believe in protectionist mercantilist economics.

Never before has an hour of Presidential rhetoric cost so many people so much. Markets continue to move after my previous tweet. The best estimate of the loss from tariff policy is now is closer to $30 trillion or $300,000 per family of four.

New GWAS for Parkinson's disease‼️🧬 👉63,555 cases, 17,700 proxy cases, 1,746,386 controls 👉134 risk loci (59 new) For common diseases, increases in GWAS sample sizes keep offering significant knowledge gains! Post-GWAS analyses also tend to be very informative with (i) extensive fine-mapping and (ii) elegant efforts to integrate multi-omics/molQTL data for detection of effector genes (=potential drug targets)💊

@mcuban @DOGE Couldn’t agree more.

Still stand by it. Said it many times before then. Blogged about it too. Difference is the transparency. @doge says they are transparent. They don’t want anyone questioning them. When it comes to government transparency: If you have nothing to hide, hide nothing @elonmusk , why not invite some democrats to work side by side with your Doge teams and report on what exactly is going on ? That would get everyone who supports smaller gov and efficiently excited. #trustbutverify

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.
