Will the latest skin substitutes revolutionize the treatment of burns and other wounds?
Engineered multilayered tissues are showing great promise in the clinic, and could also provide more-accurate models for studying skin disease.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

We must not stop speaking up.
Hearing so many powerful voices–from American families to congressional leaders–has left me filled with hope for the fights and work ahead.

Our sweet little Annie was diagnosed with stage 5 B cell lymphoma last week and started chemo today. Here’s she is after the first round….looking pretty good so far. Let’s hope for few side effects and many good times #berner #bernesemountaindog #dogsofbluesky

Please forward this thread on Bhattacharya’s terrible recent writing to as many people as you can.
Jay Bhattacharya has his Senate hearing today, and the NYT publishes a fawning opinion essay about him (just as happened during the Kavanaugh and Gorsuch hearings). People are trying to whitewash him.

Another thing that should scare all scientists from Bhattacharya's CV:
In 2020 he pivoted to popular press COVID denial work.
Here's his "commentary and op-ed" CV section.
It is frightening. Article after article in the far-right press attacking science.
