I’ve been studying gene regulation in primates for over 20 years, and using RNA-seq since 2008 to compare expression across species. We thought we were being careful. We used curated orthologous exons to minimize alignment bias and focused on biologically meaningful comparisons. We were wrong.

You can argue the merits of deporting Marcelo—a young man brought here at age 5—if you want to. But this is someone we should be proud to call American. He’s solid on every level. And if you’re really a Christian, you should be lifting him up, not casting him out. Listen w/an open mind—and heart.

Very much this. Refugees and immigrants are the risk-takers, the entrepreneurs, the motivated and the driven - exactly the kinds of people we want to innovate towards the future.
