@jasonrkelly.bsky.social interesting post in @bostonglobe.com but I wonder how you are squaring up promoting biotech jobs in Boston with your push for automated labs and AI, which IMHO will reduce the employment footprint. The hand-wavy argument that automation will increase employment wont cut it

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) mirror most scientific societies: lacking courage, clarity, and leadership. Like other societies, NAS has drifted from its mandate of defending science with vision and integrity. The difference is that not every society has sold out. NAS has.

While it is a bit alarming when the water rises above your waist, it is far more alarming when it rises above your nose. It is a travesty that despite this, someone is still refusing to turn off the tap. It is beyond tragic that we cannot discriminate between a 3 alarm and a 5 alarm fire

Stress doesn’t just affect your head, it also messes with your gut. While we have all dealt with it, we dont have a cure for it. Cause? Lack of basic mechanistic science. Our paper published today identifies a mechanism by whichstress slows gut down, and how to cure it www.jbc.org/article/S002...
