A really good read on logical fallacies used to spread misinformation. It is so easy to fall for these.
I’m looking at you, RFK Jr.

Postdoc position in my lab: investigating how the microtubule motor protein dynein-2 works in cilia.
Here's dynein-2 at work translocating microtubules - how is this activity regulated? How does dynein-2 malfunction in disease?

I'm thrilled to share that our story is now out in Science Advances! 🎉 We use quantitative imaging to map the mito central dogma, define translation hubs in the mitochondrial matrix, and show that they're replaced by Mitochondrial Stress Bodies (MSB) when mtRNA processing is perturbed 1/4

Congrats to my fantastic coauthors on this work with a surprising conclusion. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
"If you are a university, you may have to say, figure out, are we in fact doing things right? Have we in fact violated our own values, our own code, violated the law in some fashion? If not, and you're just being intimidated, well, you should be able to say, 'That's why we got this big endowment. We'll stand up for what we believe in and we'll pay our researchers for a while out of that endowment, and we'll give up the extra wing or the fancy gymnasium'...because academic freedom might be a little more important."
Barack Obama on what universities should do: “We'll stand up for what we believe in and we'll pay our researchers for a while out of that endowment, and we'll give up the extra wing or the fancy gymnasium...because academic freedom might be a little more important." +

The funding for these long COVID research grants was given back bc disability activists urged us to contact our reps persistently, in high volume, and we did. Remember that these tactics work the next time someone tries to get you to passively react instead of taking an active part in organizing!

Very useful information from UC about your rights re: search and seizure of your electronic devices at the US border. TL;DR: the “border search exception” to the 4th Amendment gives the CBP broad discretion, but there are some limits. security.ucop.edu/resources/tr...
We are very close to a near cure for two of the highest-mortality cancers we know: glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. These are both mRNA based treatments which are losing their funding during stage I and II trials. Thousands will die needlessly because of this motherfucker and his lies.
