Hmm... guess you don't like what your constituents are saying? So much for representing the people... www.cnbc.com/2025/02/26/h...

Since I got a third cryo-transmission electron microscope, I have more 'scope time than I know what to do with. If you have a project that requires a large amount of data collection, get in contact because we can probably work something out.

I'm looking to see if the cuts & chaos at CDC and NIH have affected any clinical trials or research for drugs for the treatment of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other serious diseases. If you know anything, please contact me at DavidCorn.99 at Signal. Or if you have any other good stories.

Eggs, schmeggs. If you take away my coffee, we’re gonna have a Problem*. *migraines and vicious sarcasm

“Two sources familiar with the matter, including a Trump administration official, tell Rolling Stone that the replies to the recent Musk OPM email have been flooded with pranks and, in the words of the Trump official, “very rude” emails listing fake, vulgar “accomplishments,”…

Sadly I think I should share this post again. 😢 When I wrote it in November I'd hoped it wouldn't be as prescient as it is turning out to be. People need to realise we're in an abusive relationship with Trump and MAGA. We can't appease them into treating us well. perfors.net/blog/only-wa...

“If signed into law, the bill would ban AI from being used to deny a medical claim or from denying a prior authorization needed for ‘medical necessity, experimental status or any other reason that involves the use of medical judgment,’ the bill states.”

I think the new pins are officially a flop. One sale in the first 24 hours, when I've really been trying to promote them, is not a good sign... If you fancy sharing or buying any of my pin designs at canopyrobin.etsy.com then that would be massively appreciated!

This is not the company we want to keep -

From food safety to air travel to environmental protections, Trump and Musk have gone on a firing spree at agencies that protect nearly every facet of American life. This has nothing to do with "efficiency" and everything to do with lining their own pockets at our expense.

"Multiple kidneys had to be thrown out because of transport delays — couriers not picking them up in time or airlines misplacing them. One was accidentally left on an airport luggage trolley." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

This was supposed to be a post about my lab's first funding of the year, a diversity supplement to fund our amazing research technician. The award never arrived. Now it's a post about the value of diversity and trying to persevere in these dark times. devinenilab.org/news/diversi...

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

This! 100% this. Funding cuts to basic science will not only fail to save any useful amount of money, they will cost us immeasurably (including in economic terms) --- this is, indeed "economic unilateral disarmament". www.aei.org/economics/wh...

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.
