Vitamin B12 alleviates Verheij syndrome-like defects via phospholipid remodeling in a C. elegans PUF60 spliceosomopathy model
Verheij syndrome (VRJS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the poly(U)-binding splicing factor 60 (PUF60), a core component of the spliceosomal complex. VRJS triggers multiple congenita...

Look you can’t tell me this thing is “intelligently designed” — it goes into a five-minute coughing fit if I breathe wrong. Sometimes it accidentally bites itself. It draws blood.

Brown Univ just announced an agreement with the federal government.
While not perfect, it is not awful. I like that it involves Brown paying $50million to Rhode Island, workforce development organizations, not the federal government!

Too many of our lawmakers are worrying too much about keeping their jobs and not nearly enough about DOING their jobs, if they worry about that at all.

A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.
