Unbelievable… how toxic.

🤸‍♂️ Researchers from the Voets Lab, have identified a tiny binding site, a molecular ’keyhole’, in the TRPM3 ion channel, a crucial sensor in pain signaling. TRPM3 is also linked to rare neurodevelopmental disorders and epilepsy.

For nearly a century, we believed the therapeutic effect of ECT is the seizure. Our latest research suggests we may have been looking at the wrong event.

Perhaps the villages were never shown which is not a whole lot better.

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

I couldn’t believe it at first, but Apple has actually removed the names of villages in Lebanon from its Maps app.

Academic friends,
It's beyond heartbreaking to watch what's unfolding in Iran & the region.
A few of us drafted an open letter calling for protection of civilians & of educational, research, medical & cultural institutions.

Bombing civilian infrastructure is a war crime. Call your Representative *now* and tell them to demand that the Joint Chiefs of Staff disobey an illegal order to attack Iran. US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121

This is not a partisan issue, it's a national issue.

Some reports say over 500 schools, 55 libraries, & 25 universities hit.
You can debate the numbers, but hitting Sharif University & Beheshti is like hitting MIT & Stanford. I keep wondering: How would the scientific community respond differently if it was those universities? What’s the difference?

100+ year old Pasteur Institute in Tehran was a premier infectious disease research institute and vaccine manufacturer

It is a reason Iranian kids like me born in 60s had access to measles vaccines soon after they were developed in the west

Pasteur Institute of Iran, founded in 1920 now destroyed by Israel-US bombing😞

It played a pivotal role in developing vaccines & public health services, for over a century, now gone😞

A few days ago a pharmaceutical plant was bombed, accused of making anesthetic fentanyl

The bastards who stole one of my books are now complaining that copyright actually matters, but just for them not book authors.

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

Oh I answered: Democracy is more important than a small percentage of the population getting to use their choice of bathrooms. Period.

So I'm just blocking this shithead and I know my followers don't need to hear this but I worry wider liberals find this kind of argument convincing and this is what they think it is all about so I'm going to break it down.

Bathroom bills aren't just about 'getting to use your choice of bathroom'.
