Texas’ undocumented college students no longer qualify for in-state tuition Within hours of a federal lawsuit targeting Texas’ policy of letting its nearly 20,000 undocumented students qualify for lower public tuition rates, the 24-year-old law was no more.

They’re over here in Texas turning back the clock to create a permanent underclass.

Perfect timing for my LEAD talk! I had been telling colleagues developing FTD compounds in clinical trials that this was the case and should motivate EEGs in those trials …

Texas's "Life of the Mother Act" Is an Abortion Ban in Sheep's Clothing As an abortion provider living in Texas, I can confidently say that this bill will not help me save additional lives.

We should *always* start with, critically engage, and amplify the voices of those most directly impacted by policies. Period.

I would endeavor to say many colleagues are inadvertently complicit in or intentionally supportive of neo-liberal policies. It's time to re-examine the economic calculations we make and what parts of the social order should be shaped by the "free market."

An important treatise on neo-liberalism that exposes the moral failings of a pervasive ideology that lacks transparency and democratic accountability.

Today I saw a biologist whose grant got axed advertising the ability to donate to support her work. YES, we should do that. AND - We have arrived at a very dystopian moment that was sadly predictable.

When profit is a key motive in any human endeavor, everyone involved will lose.

#Caregivers - #Epilepsy is more common w/ #dementia, but does anyone tell you how do identify a seizure or why it’s important? We do. A colleague’s son died of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). He’s on a mission to let the world know what that is, + we’re joining him.

Trump administration withdraws nomination of David Weldon for CDC director The White House has withdrawn the nomination of David Weldon, a former Florida congressman, to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

BREAKING: Weldon's nomination for CDC director has been withdrawn! Per AP he didn't have the votes. Excellent! In the mean time, this gives CDC the opportunity to continue to helplessly "misunderstand" orders, re-request written clarifications, etc. Ahem leadership. 👀
