I see a pulmonologist now for mild sleep apnea. She was glad to hear about my work helping asthma researchers in particular and is hoping they’re successful in continuing research.

It’s actually not super uncommon for NIH to be discussed around my family breakfast table.

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Presidents Trump and Musk laid off dozens tonight at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas. “There will be students on campus whose classes have no instructors when school resumes...accreditation could also be at risk, as it cannot support all its students.”

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth.

It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.
