@anders_aslund 4. Destroying the research ecosystem powering U.S. innovation and entrepreneurship.

Doesn't everybody understand that Trump is an unmitigated economic disaster? 1. New hostile skyhigh tariffs cut growth & boost inflation. 2. Lawlessness & haphazard sudden policy changes make it impossible to invest in the US. 3. Completely irresponsible fiscal policy. Byebye US!

I posted this three years ago today.

@DrAlisonFarrell @NatureMedicine Alison, this is huge!! Wow, congratulations on such a long useful and productive career at Nature Medicine - sometimes I still miss it! :) @DrAlisonFarrell

It's my last day @NatureMedicine, my work home for almost 23yrs!! Thank you to ALL the editors I've had the privilege to work with over the yrs, who deserve far more recognition than they receive! And to all the researchers whose amazing science we have the honour to publish!

@DrAnneCarpenter I used Sciwheel for this when I was a manuscript editor a few years ago after vetting a bunch of other options - it was great for this type of sharing. Looks like it's still running!

We'd like to have a system to share papers within the lab, both PDFs and our comments about each paper. As people depart, they could take a copy of the whole 'library' with them. I'm going to check if Paperpile has nicer sharing these days, but any other ideas we should try?

@sejkeown @sejkeown The process increases the power of the institution, the box where kids are sent, & makes their world dependent on adults for navigating. A child's world is their neighborhood. The box may be good for kids with a bad environment. For others it diminishes their lives.

@sejkeown I also wonder about the net effects on mental health. Fewer in-neighborhood interactions, less walking - more reliance on parents for play dates. On the other hand, more potential for support at bigger schools. @sejkeown

& still no explanation from SPS of *how* closing schools will save money (esp. when we know that ~20% students will leave the district when their schools close, & WA districts are funded per-capita), & even the rosiest projections leave us w/the vast majority of our debt intact.

@isolderaftery Apparently Garfield's long-time resource officer prior to the pandemic was also well regarded, so I've heard.

@schubertcm I'm talking about the Panthers who worked as security officers at Garfield in the 90s, when I attended. They were warm and empowering -- and knew everything going on. That's the energy needed.

Contributing editor @Geekwire Charlotte Schubert @schubertcm recaps her recent tour of the Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology. Among several panelists at the fireside chat during the event were @JShendure @UWgenome & @PepperMarion @UW_Immunology tinyurl.com/3v9n3e6b

@cshperspectives Ed Yong's feature in Nature on the legacy of Univ. of Washington ecologist Bob Paine shows this so well - and is one of the best stories about how science operates through generations. nature.com/articles/49328… theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

"that's the prize, the achievement, the recognition that counts, long after everyone forgets about the high-impact paper, the societies and the other fleeting honors. That's the masterpiece." journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/11…

AI is everywhere! Got a kick out of reporting this story for @GeekWire on the @SICB_ meeting in Seattle. Thanks to @ShirBar3 and @RiffellLab for input, and @jamesdcrall and @gigi_melone for bee images. #SICB2024 geekwire.com/2024/how-scien…

Enjoyed the poster session at the @SICB_ meeting today. Octopi, hummingbirds, arachnids and more! #SICB2024

A historic day in neuroscience! A complete map of the cell types in the mammalian brain. A moonshot just a few years ago. Team science, big science, and open science. Together we go farther! #studyBRAIN @HongkuiZeng

The Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology was announced today, with $70 million in funding from The Allen Institute, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the University of Washington.

It's been a dream to bring better treatments to kids with #DIPG & #CNStumors. It's thrilling to announce #BrainChildBio a kids first biotech advancing #CARTcells for CNS tumors (CEO Steve Brugger; CSO Mike Jensen, MD) in partnership with @seattlechildren. brainchildbio.com
