Bluesky hive mind: if you are invited to be interviewed for a podcast, how do you determine if you should do it or not? It’s a real podcast (Spotify, apple, etc have it), but how do I research it?

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Each worm lab selects a 2-3 letter allele designation. I was coming to Brandeis so I picked 'oy'. I finally have a worm colleague in my Dept - Josh Meisel - who is fabulous btw. I just convinced him to pick 'vey'. Now we need to make a double mutant. (Yes - I am very pleased with myself).
