The big one is out! So over the moon to see our latest work with Stéphane Vassilopoulos published in Science. Check out how we reveal the unique architecture of clathrin-coated pits and endocytosis at the axon initial segment: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The actin-spectrin submembrane scaffold restricts endocytosis along proximal axons
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis has characteristic features in neuronal dendrites and presynapses, but how membrane proteins are internalized along the axon shaft remains unclear. We focused on clathrin...

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is blatant corruption from the Trump Administration. Elon absolutely should not be receiving new business contracts while he works in government. I’ve had enough of Trump pretending that Elon will police his own conflicts of interest.

No! Only study sections already announced in the federal register have resumed. Nothing has been posted by the NIH to the federal register since Jan 21. I am finding it wild how many professors don't know this. Please spread this info to your Universities!

How do people feel about this new idea/method of citing previous literature? ‘Embedding’ a piece of an article rather than putting in a citation to the whole thing seems like it could have pluses and minuses.

“throughout the film, there is a sense that caring for each other is a counter force for cynicism, and as long as you care for each other, then you have strengths and you have some power in life.” This quote about Aki Kaurismaki’s Fallen Leaves by lead actress Alma Poysti makes me want to see it.

"I don’t just want to talk about the problems anymore. I want to talk about the solutions. Consider this your last warning from me" This Kate Marvel piece is really great. It is great to see the offensive narrative of "no one has done anything" being countered www.nytimes.com/2023/11/18/o...
And while the report stresses the urgency of limiting warming to prevent terrible risks, it has a new message, too: We can do this. We now know how to make the dramatic emissions cuts we’d need to limit warming, and it’s very possible to do this in a way that’s sustainable, healthy and fair. The conversation has moved on, and the role of scientists has changed. We’re not just warning of danger any more. We’re showing the way to safety.

I was wrong about those previous reports: They did matter, after all. While climate scientists were warning the world of disaster, a small army of scientists, engineers, policymakers and others were getting to work. These first responders have helped move us toward our climate goals. Our warnings did their job.

To limit global warming, we need many more people to get on board. This will be hard: It will require large-scale changes in infrastructure and behavior as well as removing carbon from the atmosphere. And not everyone is on board yet. In particu
