I used to wonder how PIs could write grants while still doing their duties, such as attending faculty meetings or meeting with students. Now I understand why and how: Because you just have to.

This interview completely missed the fact that Taiwan successfully suppressed COVID spread w/o vaccine by contact-tracing and quarantine. Ofc WHO doesn’t have the evidence supporting it b/c China blocks Taiwan from joining WHO. 🤷🏻♂️

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

1. A Federal Judge has blocked Trump's under 19 trans care ban nationwide.
In the decision, he slams the Government's reliance on the Cass Review, jeopardizes youth health, and likely violates several constitutional principles.

Happy that my postdoc work is finally available at Nat Neuro! It's the 1st report of the dynamic OPC (progenitor for oligodendrocyte) Ca2+ activity in vivo. We also showed OPC Ca2+ is mediated by brain norepinephrine and can promote cell proliferation! nature.com/articles/s41... #Neuroskyence
