Just published, expansion in situ genome sequencing, where you can sequence DNA while still inside the cell, mapping its organization relative to proteins and other markers, with the help of expansion microscopy! Led by @jbuenrostro.bksy.social. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New genomic & genetic insights into Mendel’s pea genes, including previously uncharacterised alleles 159 years after Mendel published his work, this is a real delight (especially for a geneticist) 🧪 @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just doomscrolled for a few minutes while waiting for my plane. Ugh. Thank you Peter Ralph and Mike Whitlock for organizing a great EvoWIBO and providing an intellectual safe harbor of science for 36 hours. Athanks to all the talk and poster presenters. You all are a true inspiration!

Happening now at Evo-WIBO: @harmitmalik.bsky.social delivering a great talk on red queen dynamics in host-virus molecular evolution. A great example of how fundamental basic science leads to eventual application for human benefit. Without the engine of the former the benefits of the latter stall. 🧪🖥️

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

I’m really getting down about the ongoing trade deficits I have with our local coffee shops. I give them money and all they give me are cappuccinos and lattes. THEY ARE RIPPING ME OFF. I’m going to put a 50% tariff on myself for every coffee. The mid coffee making will come roaring back to my house.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

No one who puts the security of our counter so recklessly at risk should be in a position of authority. The worst part is the carelessness. With this level of sloppiness for this 1 thing we find out about there must be 100 other actions that are putting our country at risk.

We bought our electric car 4 years ago and it just passed 30k miles. Something I didn’t fully appreciate was how little maintenance it would need. We took it in to the Volvo for its checkup and still nothing wrong. We haven’t had to do a single bit of maintenance the whole time we’ve own it. Zero.

Vaccines save lives. “It’s often said that the first responsibility of any government is the safety & protection of its people. That alone should be reason enough for policymakers to encourage people to get themselves & their children vaccinated” 🧪 #MedSky @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The Navajo Code Talkers were true American heroes whose unbreakable code helped the United States and Allies win WWII and saved countless lives. The Trump administration erased their story from all military websites. How is that making America great? 🤔

Mark this weekend. We have reached the point of constitutional crisis. The Article 1 branch is silent, and the executive now ignores the judiciary. It is up to us - the legitimate authority in our country - to guarantee that government of the people, by the people, for the people does not perish.

Thomas Friedman hit it right on. Trump did not look for competence, just ‘the most sycophantic and right-wing woke’ set of flunkies. We are living through the consequences of their deep incompetence. In their positions only because of their ideology, gender and racial identities. Right-wing woke.
