Curious on @elisabethbik.bsky.social ‘s take on this.

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time One of the most devastating diseases finally has a treatment that can slow its progression and transform lives, tearful doctors tell BBC.

Incredible good news

Vaccines save lives, pass it on.

BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout.

They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base.

I was gonna chime in here but Zakroff 👆🏻said everything I would have 🙃

Only thing I would add is you could use your art skills to dress up your resume. It doesn’t have to be black text on a white bkg

mRNA chaperones huh? RNA World anyone…?

Pseudouridine RNA avoids immune detection through impaired endolysosomal processing and TLR engagement Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 7 and 8 detect RNA degradation products to sense infection. However, modified nucleosides common in self-RNA—most notably pseudouridine—evade recognition. This study finds t...

Brightly labelled pyramidal cells in the mouse retrosplenial cortex. Blood vessels are visible of various thicknesses in darker colours.

#neuroskyence folks: as my postdoc grant is running out soon, I am looking for new opportunities in systems neuroscience!

Keywords: patch clamp ephys, opto, mouse behavior, (in vivo) voltage imaging. Would love to return to the Basal Ganglia.

Sharing appreciated, and happy #FluorescenceFriday !

To be clear, COVID-19 vaccination - as well as other critical vaccinations - should be recommended for pregnant people.

Full stop.

Gotta love that spell-check and LLMs are on the same level for sci lit 🙃

Checked that thing every damn day until it shut down. Sad that it’s back for something so stupid

Rapid Response Bridge Funding Program In the face of recent abrupt shifts in federal funding for education research, including large-scale terminations of National Science Foundation (NSF) research grant awards, we have developed a rap...

The Spencer Foundation is offering rapid response bridge funding for those who lost NSF research grants.

Lab Leak: The True Origins of Covid-19 THE ORIGIN “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” publication — which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak

Happy Friday. Nothing to see here 🤦‍♂️ #vaccineswork #supportscience #handsoff

A nonsensical threat to:
One of the most important advances in biotechnology of our time, already being used to successfully treat refractory cancers, enable genome editing, develop vaccines for infectious diseases for which there are none, treat autoimmune diseases, and more.

I’m thankful for my PhD just so I can understand the first sentence of your post 😆 Really great work! 👏🏻 #RNA

Weird. It’s like we paid for a bunch of research and it did… stuff. Neat

#PubMed has been down for some people and currently appears broken, or inaccessible. Smarter people than I can speculate on what's going on, but my worry is particular research being targeted for deletion from the database. All of us whose research can be found via PubMed must backup publications.

Looks like parts are accessible directly (BLAST for example) but can’t directly access the home pages for NIH or NCBI. Expasy better add some server capacity…

#Lipids - also a taxi for #RNA 🙂

Glad to see this published. We saw an uptick in interest in some of these reagents after the #preprint hit. It’s a good study and an important potential addition to the #genetic #therapy toolbox

Wow. Incredible work

SO much going on w this rn. mRNA isn’t going anywhere but circRNA is heating up!

Trump administration targets thousands of programs in funding freeze A new memo from the Office of Management and Budget reveals the potential scope of the Trump administration's plans to freeze federal funding.

To anyone in the #science community concerned about the #spending #freeze, a full list of potentially affected programs is available here: www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

This includes programs within HHS across various arms of #NIH
