I want to share two poems with you. The first was written in the ruins of World War I; the second, in the gathering storm of World War II. To me, both feel appropriate to the dark time we’re now living through. Read them and let me know your thoughts.

In 2005 I got the flu so bad I couldn’t fly to family for Christmas. Have faithfully gotten my shot as soon as available every year since—and never had it since. Even when shot isn’t as on target as they hoped—like this year—it greatly reduces symptoms and spread, including in your own household.

That view is exceptionally naive. As @narosenblum.bsky.social and I wrote last fall, “basic scientific research [is] a long-term investment, one that only governments have the time horizon to make, and it brings enormous payoffs.” It can’t just be moonshots and looking for unicorn behemoths.

Injecting partisan politics into American basic science would be terrible for the US: for the economy, and for development of future treatments for diseases like schizophrenia and Alzheimer's.

Not sure if anybody is upset at Charlie Kirk's death, but if needed, they can use his own words to console them. He's a meaningless statistic in a gun epidemic. His death means as little as the thousands of casualties who have already died for no purpose & no meaning. "A simple price for freedom"
The right-wing host claimed that liberals were trying to reduce gun deaths to zero, which he said was impossible.

"Therefore, you have to be real," he argued. "And, of course, our hearts go out to the victims in Kentucky for every one of these situations. But we cannot allow them to emotionally hijack the narrative."

"You must use reason when you look at these things," Kirk added. "A free society comes with a cost, and that cost is worth it. Liberty is worth it."

The Monday shooting in Louisville resulted in at least four dead and eight injured.

ER crosstalk in kidney disease: Crucial for Ca²⁺ homeostasis, protein folding, lipid metabolism, and signaling via contact sites. PMID:40745061, Nat Rev Nephrol 2025, @NatRevNeph doi.org/10.1038/s41581-025-00989-4 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA #ASHG #ESHG 🧪

Endoplasmic reticulum-mediated organelle crosstalk in kidney disease | Nature Reviews Nephrology
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a key organelle involved in a wide range of intracellular biological processes, including Ca2+ homeostasis; lipid metabolism; proteostasis through protein synthesis, folding and processing of secretory and transmembrane proteins; and signal transduction. The ER forms extensive physical interactions with various intracellular organelles through the membrane contact sites, enabling direct exchange of ions and lipids without vesicular transport. At mitochondria-associated membranes, ER–mitochondria communication governs calcium transfer, lipid synthesis, mitochondrial dynamics, the unfolded protein response and inflammation, all of which are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. The ER also interacts with the Golgi apparatus, endosomes and plasma membrane to facilitate transfer of calcium and lipids. Disruption of ER–organelle communication contributes to the development and progression of various kidney diseases, including diabetic kidney disea
