Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

Predictably, it’s our turn to be viciously targeted by this ruthless, short-sighted and spiteful administration. We will RESIST and I have trust in Cornell leadership to mount a potent defense to protect our community and values and ultimately prevail over this evil. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

For decades, the US has been a magnet for global research talent. According to a poll we ran, many are considering leaving & Europe is advertising itself as a destination for embattled US scientists. A brain drain would impoverish the US & diminish global science 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What I love most about science are unexpected discoveries-finding what was thought not to exist or imagined differently, even against our hypotheses. We uncover them by following curiosity & intuition. That’s why we’re hosting WoodstockNightScience, to spark bold ideas. Join us! #Science #Innovation

Our paper on Stopless-ORF Circular RNAs (socRNAs) is now out in Cell. By high-res tracking and comparing translation by either single or multiple ribosomes, we find that ribosomes cooperate to overcome pausing to ensure fast and efficient translation www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Our paper is out! We delevoped a method to follow individual translating ribosomes for hours in living cells, and discovered that ribosomes are great friends and help each other in problematic situations: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Federally funded researchers may be forced to remove terms from their research, like gender. "If no data exist to prove that a health issue concentrates within a particular community, that provides a justification to cut funding," writes Katherine Wu. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Extremely timely #ZOiS_Spotlight on #protests in #Serbia by my colleague @ivodinev.bsky.social. A typical case of a protest that starts with students and then mobilises the middle of society? In my view not getting enough attention yet. ⬇️

Bluetorial-A dream and a bit of a nightmare Serving as Editor-in-Chief at Science was fascinating. I greatly enjoyed working with talented and committed editorial, news, graphics, and production staff. But the inside look into scientific publishing and AAAS was also deeply disillusioning.

Cool thread about how the HIV genome enters the nucleus--it remains within its viral capsid and busts into the nucleus by pushing through and disrupting the nuclear pore. Incredible that we're still learning new things about this important human pathogen 🧪
