Today was my last day after 14 years at Howard University 💙 I’m grateful for the experiences I had as part of Howard’s family. 💙Now, I’m looking forward to starting a new chapter.

#NSF no longer thinks that "inclusivity" is part of scientific integrity.
Int he following passage, the word inclusivity was included, but is now struck through. Transparency, and protection from inappropriate influence are hallmarks of scientific integrity

Scientific integrity builds on key principles of honesty, objectivity, ethical behavior, transparency, and professionalism in the conduct of scientific activities.

"It’s a slippery slope from “Nature loves a crab” to “If crabs are better than others, then some people might be too.” Unfortunately, that’s also the basis of eugenics...To be clear, there is no evidence from the prevalence of convergent evolution to support discrimination or eugenics."

ACTN4 isn’t just hanging around the Z-disc in heart muscle cells. AlphaFold3 predicts it forms heterdimers with muscle ACTN2. And the pull-downs agree: ACTN4 brings down ACTN2 even when actin is out of the picture. #CellBiology www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

Today’s data drop from our alpha-actinin-4 paper! 1A: Cardiac myocytes don’t just express muscle alpha-actinin (ACTN2)… they also express ACTN4; a “non-muscle” paralog. 1B: ACTN4 is sitting right at the Z-disc, shoulder-to-shoulder with ACTN2. www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

In the last 72 hours or so Donald Trump has: • Demolished a large section of the White House • Posted a video of himself dropping shit on the American people • Demanded a $230 million payout from his own Department of Justice Also the federal government is still shut down, but, y’know…

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/
