It’s a relief that I was able to get my youngest his second vaccine for MMR early. There are so many outbreaks of the measles in our area. Now he is fully protected 🙌💪

In case anyone wants to donate to Lloyd’s School fundraiser the link is below. It goes towards books, field trips, and teacher supplies. I’m convinced Lloyd is actually a sloth and not a human child but he still loves to read!

If you're feeling hopeless and miserable, I cannot possibly overstate how much it helps to just pick one thing you can do that helps people, and do it.

You only need to do one person's worth of work. That's all any of us can do.

You'll be doing what you can, and there is so much relief in that.

Breaking News; the chance of the major asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting the earth is now higher than NIH paylines, 3rd percentile. #NIH #2024yr4
NASA says there's now a 3.1% chance that asteroid 2024 YR4 will hit Earth in 2032

This is the highest risk assessment an asteroid has ever received 😲

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.

This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel.

I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times!

Pls repost 🙏❤️

One of the most important things you can do today is your science. Knowing calculus/physics/genetics/chemistry etc. makes you rare and the world will need you to rebuild tomorrow. Practice your skills and pass them on. Keep the flame alive.
