Screenshot of a tweet by Rep. Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) praising a breakthrough in pancreatic cancer research, calling it "the best of America" and noting that lead researcher Dr. Balachandran is the son of Indian immigrants and works at Sloan Kettering. He quote-tweets Ian Weissman, DO (@DrIanWeiss...), who reports that an mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine showed lasting results in an early trial, with nearly all responding patients still alive six years later.

Science leads to amazing breakthroughs. Immigrants lead to amazing science.

Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines

"As a vaccine for broad public use, mRNA technology has failed to earn the public’s trust."

I very much enjoyed and appreciated Don on both a personal and professional level. He attended a fancy tea party in Wyoming for my daughter’s third or fourth birthday party; he was visiting to give a seminar. Don played the drums quite well I believe. I was always in awe of his beard!

My son saw the same in Boulder CO. It’s been true every time. I sometimes wonder why are we doing this if they don’t particularly care?

Glad to attend No Kings again and good turnout overall, but the age distribution is not representative of the population as a whole, and it’s the under-represented age groups that have by far the most to lose. Likewise, the silence of campuses in response the Iran War is…

Well put!
“Against the slow off-gassing of rage coming across the airwaves — the sex trafficking, the elementary school bombing, the painful erosion of dignity and competence — Diggins has given us an important antidote all these years.”

Such a great song!

Opinion | Economic Affirmative Action Is Working Low-income students are the beneficiaries of the Supreme Court’s striking down race-conscious admissions.

This report seems encouraging and points a way forward. Nothing is perfect, but any progress is better than none.

Huge Gary Numan fan here!

We’ve all known those types. People are complicated. Sometimes that makes them more interesting. Often times it reveals them to be flawed, sometimes deeply.

Aging may feel gradual… but what if it’s not?
In our recent paper, we tracked fish continuously from puberty until death.
This gave us a unique view of how aging unfolds across the adult lifespan.

Saw Sirat in a theatre this weekend and appreciated the impromptu group therapy session with random audience members that followed. 😳

The #NIH comprises less than 1% of the federal budget. 80% of that is allocated to universities and research institutions. That $$ ($36B) yielded $94 BILLION in new economic activity in 2025.

No shame in liking that intro, or the rest of the song for that matter! Definitely their best. Funny that the radio edit removed much of the intro.

Four scientists pose outside of City Hall park at the Stand Up for Science rally. One holds a poster saying “An attack on scientists is an attack on everyone”

That’s great Erin. We all do what we can. I’ve spoken with some of Barrasso’s aids a few times and they’ve been good listeners. I’d love to see Wyoming invest more in renewable projects because projections show that the state will end up in real financial difficulties if we don’t diversify.

100% agree. I am always willing to try if given the opportunity.

I am grateful for any and all opportunities to speak with my state’s representatives about the importance and value of the NIH both nationally and to researchers and students across our state.

So I’d imagine that I’m not the only one looking into switching my (low level) paid account from open.ai to Anthropic. Any thoughts about which performs better for your average academic scientist?

Surprising partner preference found in matings between Neanderthals and modern humans Male Neanderthals tended to pair up with female modern humans, but whether intercourse was consensual is unclear

Although “preference” might not be the most accurate word choice, an interesting finding.
