I am reviewing a simply amazing paper from a relatively young US-based lab, which is in danger of shutting its doors later this year. My emotions are all over the place.

The fact that this does not uniquely identify the lab I’m referring to just deepens the tragedy of this moment in US science.

U.S. Lost 92,000 Jobs in February The payrolls number was worse than the gain of 50,000 jobs economists expected and a sign that the job market continues to struggle in nearly every sector.

Donald Trump has made $4 billion off the presidency.

His rich friends get $1 trillion in tax cuts.

Everyone else gets higher prices and job losses.

The Trump economy is a disaster.

Opinion | Nine Law Firms Surrendered. Four Law Firms Won.

This is a legitimate big deal. This shows how courage is rewarded.

Also, no one should ever use the other nine again.

75 years ago, the 22nd Amendment was ratified.

It’s a good day to remember what the 22nd Amendment ratified: that presidents are limited to TWO terms in office.

No exceptions.
