Navigating autism information online is tough. As a scientist in this and related fields, I'm a resource for evidence based information. My DMs are open and a safe space if you have questions or want to check a source. #AskAScientist #autism #Pseudoscience

Six years ago, I first heard about circular RNAs at Marvin Eduarte Nayan's dissertation defense during my first month in the Sur lab. Today, after five years of hard work by an amazing international team, I am proud to share the first authorship with Marvin and Ying Cai. www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

Why We Still Need Animal Research in a World of AI and Organoids
The portrayal of uncaring scientists without any thought for the animals being used in their research is far from the truth.

Another blatant attempt to continue the Administration's defunding of science, this time dressed up as a bad faith argument to reduce animal testing. Honest and realistic strives to reduce unnecessary animal use in research have been ongoing, and making actual positive impacts, for decades.
Science peeps action alert - time for comments at this link. Let FDA/NIH know that NAMS are not ready for prime time.... #Neuroskyence #MedSky #academicsky

They’ve destroyed American medical research, the American education system, the American university research system, and the aid system that protected millions of lives, and they’ve given our anti-immigrant masked paramilitary police force a budget the size of a nation

Our university’s NIH CTSA (Clinical and Translational Science Award) was just cancelled for having some keywords that just mean it will serve ALL people in Utah. This funds research that moves discovery science into clinical therapies. This is literally the mandate of the NIH! 😰 🧪
