Genetics teacher and human telomeres researcher but going back to yeast genetics for many reasons including but not limited to $$$$. Going back because I worked on yeast for 10 yrs and I miss the science of the 90’s

The outcomes in 2005 were quite different than those from 2004 with 6 women and a number of scientists relatively early in their careers.
Several of these Pioneers have gone on to have impactful careers.
Ben was pleased with the changes in process and outcome and said so publicly.

"When the data lets you believe that you are 37% German, or 18% Spanish, or whatever, it might feel fun, but of course there is no way of being 37% German."

People think there must be a rational basis for all of this. There is not. These people are arsonists who are simply fascinated by the idea that they can set things on fire. There is nothing beyond that.

Beyond just sad. Downright chilling. How many more foundational science stalwarts at NIH are they going to purge? Need more intel from @jeremymberg.bsky.social . How long will Lorsch last?

I don't purify the product- essentially, we use the LiAc/PEG protocol only with a 20X concentrated cell suspension- I'd love to look at your protocol! I will request it by email- thanks!

NOW THREE CRITICAL OMISSIONS…
Omission 1: Firing of at-will employees
Beyond the probationary employees, NSF acted *on its own* to also fire at-will employees (fact: www.wired.com/story/nation...) and *still has not reinstated* those at-will employees (fact: www.science.org/content/arti...).
