My daughter made this short animation of #CellBiology cell cycle when she was a high school sophomore #scienceiscool I think it deserves an #Oscars for animation but will settle for a call from @aardman.bsky.social 🤪 Maybe the next one will be an immune cell killing cancer :)

I toured for 20 years and after 9/11 lost my appetite for it. So I started to tour Canada. I visited almost every province, and it is my favorite place in the world to travel.

Scientists often do not speak up because we deal with certainties and the whiplash of almost twice daily bulletins leaves many frozen with the uncertainty of the next assault . But one thing is certain. This is unprecedented. And the progress lost is unrecoverable.

If so, this is nuts. What about the women and children inclusion section in NIH grants? And enrollment tables. Are we only treating adult Caucasian males now ???

If you had a biomarker signature that was non-invasive, easily accessible, highly accurate, simple to interpret and led to timely and effective intervention to save the lives of cancer patients would you be using it every chance you could ? Just pee in a cup. lnkd.in/gyR8-qV.

Not really a lot of putting the different pieces of the puzzle together. But across all of HHS, centered especially at nih and nci you’ve got a ton of different actions all of which seem to have the common goal of making certain there’s never a new cancer drug or cure again ever.

This week, hell froze over in parts of the South, and NIH can no longer review or fund new grants. Essentially. Maybe. Who knows anymore.

Does it seem obvious to everyone that if you deter or turn away a patient who is ill, that they will remain ill and probably become more ill regardless of their immigration or citizenship status?
