Bay Area transit is facing an existential crisis. Without new revenue, BART and Muni operators warn of catastrophic cuts. To prevent a total collapse, transit advocates are asking voters to pass two citizen-led ballot measures this November – each needing just a simple majority to pass.

Tomorrow we celebrate the life and accomplishments of J. Michael Bishop @ucsfcancer.bsky.social who set the foundation for modern cancer biology. I was blessed to have spent some time in his lab. Looking forward to celebrating with all the former trainees. Some pics from his 90th BDay dinner.

Agree this is a fantastic opportunity, including joining a community of early career researchers that receive extensive training and support towards developing an academic research career. Two years of postdoctoral funding and subsequent recruitment incentive at any UC school.
