What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

A few weeks ago I wrote about a 13 year old boy from Massachusetts who had been abducted by ICE and sent to a detention center in Virginia. I wrote about the trauma of a child being separated from his family and community, and I posed the question:
What are we doing here?
I have some updates.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

We should all voice the words of this mother!
Law enforcement officers from the multiple agencies should be protecting schools, churches, courts, hospitals, and neighborhoods and don't allow hard-working people from being kidnapped by ICE!

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.”
Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

Yeah, don’t abduct preschool teachers. It’s pisses of the community.
i’m at damen/belle plaine in chicago’s north center neighborhood for an emergency anti-ice rally.
around 7 a.m. this morning, masked federal agents chased a preschool teacher *into* nearby rayito del sol and abducted her—in front of traumatized children, parents, and coworkers.

🧪🔬 Polytrauma sparks systemic inflammation—but how does the immune system choose between competing signals?
In our zebrafish model, we watch immune decision-making unfold across the body, injury by injury, cell by cell.
What looks like chaos is coordination.

For someone sprinting 🏃♀️ toward a Nobel Peace Prize with every “pro-peace” gesture, this administration sure racks up at least ten anti-peace moves right after. But hey, who’s counting? 🙄
The last time the US tested a nuclear weapon was in 1992, when Congress pushed to halt such trials in the wake of the Cold war.
Trump is ordering the US to revive nuclear weapons tests after a 33-year hiatus
