#BATSHIT #CRAZY Fucking #DUMBASS #RWNJ There are really no other words to describe this proposed bill from #NY11 Republican Mallitakis, to ban all federally funded animal research 🤬 She needs to fuck off right back to the 15th century! #NIH #Science malliotakis.house.gov/media/press-...

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

I’ve unfortunately needed to add more material to my post from yesterday. The re-election of Donald Trump is looking like the biggest act of American self-destruction since the Civil War. Same link, new title and some updates.

New hope for viral coinfection-based therapeutic approach against Herpesviruses! Gene Drive(GD), a self propagating gene-editing technique via Cas9 mediated homologous recombination inserts the GD with red fluorescent (mCherry) into HSV-1 genome. Specific and non-specific (GD-ns) gRNA were tested.

Hello! this is my first post in Bluesky :) Like many of you, I have migrated here to share, connect and stay updated on everything happening in the world of science (although epigenetics and embryology–developmental biology are my absolute favorites!). Let's get started!

Hi to my new followers! I am a virologist at @fredhutch.bsky.social in the team of Keith Jerome. If you are curious about what I do here are 3 options for you: 1. Read our latest paper! We showed that a viral gene drive propagated during HSV-1 infection in mice www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Do you know who Douglas Prasher is? Many don't, even though he is the person who cloned the original #GFP gene in the late 1980s. In my short history of plant light #microscopy I also cover a bit of his story - & why he is relatively unknown today, despite the importance of his work. See this 🧵👇

Giving a first try at Bluesky: We are excited share our latest work! We designed a viral gene against HSV-1 and showed that it spread efficiently during infection in mice www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
