It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

In work led by @lalli.bsky.social, we present recombination maps and a diverse haplotype reference panel (1000 Genomes Project) for the T2T-CHM13 human reference genome. These resources improve the accuracy of phasing and imputation, especially around common CNVs. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A T2T-CHM13 recombination map and globally diverse haplotype reference panel improves phasing and imputation

The T2T-CHM13 complete human reference genome contains ~200 Mb of newly resolved sequence, improving read mapping and variant calling compared to GRCh38. However, the benefits of using complete refere...

Just a reminder that the NIH has been shut down, and nobody is reporting it. $29 billion in congressionally allocated research funds have been suspended with no announcement, timeline, or explanation. @joshtpm.bsky.social, why has this been reported as an “arcane administrative loophole”?

I kind of think the Jordan Peterson types are right that there’s a deep hunger among some young men to explore their masculinity and it’s pretty unfortunate that they’ve been duped into thinking weeping beef Professor and homophobic UFC fighter are better options than “guy in town who is good dad”

the "DEI pilots" thing is not only untrue, but the opposite of true. The piloting profession in the late 20th century was so dominated by one Guy Type that they had to invent a new kind of training that forced pilots to listen to their first officers so they would stop flying planes into the ground

Word defaults to "Keep source formatting" when you paste, while Powerpoint defaults to "Match destination formatting". EVERYONE KNOWS it should be the exact opposite; this is positively evil.

🧪An estimated one in 10 people, about nine million Egyptians, were chronically infected with HepC. In a public health campaign extraordinary for both its scale and its success, Egypt screened its entire population, brokered a deal for hugely discounted drugs and cured almost everyone with the virus.

Egypt Wiped Out Hepatitis C. Now It Is Trying to Help the Rest of Africa.

Effective drugs that have made the disease curable have yet to reach most of the region.

Honestly, I wish some people would just admit to themselves, “Some young people annoy me” and it doesn’t have to turn into a whole… fucking human rights issue
