Who’s going to the SDB meeting in Vegas in July? @socdevbio.bsky.social

Finding Fruit in Flies: Therapy for rare diseases #MetabolismMondays - the Node Emerging perspectives in metabolism. This week we’ll meet Dr. Holly Thorpe.

On this #raredisease day sharing some amazing work done in #Drosophila uncovering genetic modifiers and therapeutic targets for rare diseases from @clementychow.bsky.social lab @uofubiochem.bsky.social

@the-node.bsky.social

Just got our NOA! Our P01 was funded! A big effort to identify modifier genes and drugs for congenital disorders of glycosylation. Excited to get to work!

Fruit Flies: Decoding Rare Diseases "Fruit Flies: Decoding Rare Diseases" follows two teams of researchers from the Link Lab and Chow Lab as they study rare human diseases in fruit flies, seeki...

Could fruit flies be the key to decoding rare human diseases? 🪰 🧬 Watch researchers at @nikkilink.bsky.social‬'s Link Lab & @clementychow.bsky.social‬'s Chow Lab use these tiny models to uncover new insights & potential treatments for rare conditions: buff.ly/xKXEbCS 🎬

The Dept of Human Genetics at the Univeristy of Utah is hosting a Rising Stars in Genetics & Genomics postdoc symposium. We are looking to feature postdocs doing cool science! Please self nominate or nominate an excellent postdoc! #ASHGtrainees docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I had a wonderful visit through this symposium a few years ago and made so many great connections, including to one of my now-closest friends! Apply apply apply! (updated link)

Had the wrong link in the original post. New post! bsky.app/profile/clem...

A combination of human genetic analysis and research in flies identified the protective gene, which could ultimately lead to better therapies for people with the seizure disorder. uofuhealth.utah.edu/newsroom/new...

The claim that the destruction of essential civilizational institutions is being done in the name of the Jews is itself a form of antisemitism—cultural vandalism carried out in our name.

That, my friends, is rank bullshit.

The Five Scandals (and One Fascinating Political Insight) of Signalgate The Trump administration's group chat tells a lot about itself

Across the last 48 hours, “Signalgate” has morphed from one scandal into what I think is best thought of as five distinct overlapping scandals, as well as providing some fascinating political insight into who has power and how decisions get made in Trump II. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-five-s...

Lab slack

The Chow Lab is hiring postdocs! We discover modifier genes and new therapeutics for rare diseases. Lots of opportunities to work with clinicians, families, foundations, and industry. Check out our posters: 444, 445, 496, 517, and 519. Also checkout talk 154 on Saturday linktr.ee/clementchow #Dros25

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

So… what about hospitals?

The specific quote from General John DeWitt, justifying Japanese internment: “The very fact that no sabotage has taken place to date is a disturbing and confirming indication that such action will be taken.”
