Started this project years ago, but now everything is deposited on @addgene.bsky.social and a short @protocolsio.bsky.social is online. Try it out to make your own (cheap) homemade nuclease/Benzonase! dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.261ged7xov47/v2 Thank you @jcoker10.bsky.social and Michael Lim!

What's the role of MCL1 in chemoresistance? A new preLight from @kanishka03.bsky.social highlighting a #preprint from Kylin Emhoff, @jcoker10.bsky.social & Jan Joseph Melenhorst challenging the concept that MCL1 promotes chemoresistance from the nucleus. prelights.biologists.com/highlights/m...

MCL1 may not mediate chemoresistance - preLights
MCL1, an anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family protein, does not mediate chemotherapy resistance in cancer cells, which calls into question the role of MCL in therapy response.

The news across HHS today is awful, and the stated reasons behind it all are lies:

White House says no one will be fired over the Signal scandal because no one involved was trying to cure cancer.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add up
A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

I fell in love with basketball when I was eight because of LeBron. Tomorrow I turn 30 and he’s still doing this. Preposterous and wonderful.

I joined 75+ @nobelprize.bsky.social laureates urging US Senators to oppose RFK Jr.'s confirmation as DHHS Secretary. If you’re in a state with GOP senators, PLEASE reach out to them! I’d deeply appreciate it if you amplified this post! 🙏 www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

Science has values, and they are inherently in opposition to political ideologies centered on the rejection of evidence, the promotion of scientific falsehoods, and that seek to undermine the institutions that support scientific inquiry. You don't get to pick! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
