Vaccines don’t cause autism. 🧵1/8

I had a wonderful surprise at #CellBio2024! Johnny Vertiz is now a thriving PhD student at UC Irvine but was a PREP scholar in my lab UC Davis from 2022-2023. It was wonderful to catch up and learn about his new lab and excitement for the future! It’s a small world! 🤩

Newly elected #NASmember Savithramma Dinesh-Kumar of UC Davis UC Davis Genome Center investigates the molecular basis of host-microbe interactions, and his research findings have unveiled intricate mechanisms of plant immunity to viruses. Read more: ow.ly/Orlp50UAwLY

How are cells in living tissues different from those in a dish? This question has puzzled scientists for decades. In our new preprint, we studied C. elegans roundworms to uncover how cells maintain unique internal environments. The results surprised us. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"I must be in the front row!" ~ Classic Miller Lite Beer commercial starring "Mr. Baseball" Bob Uecker (1984) #MLB #Legend #RIPBobUecker

The magic of Major League doesn’t exist without Bob Uecker. His commentary was perfect and no other voice could have filled that role. A legendary commentator whose voice will be missed forever. Rest easy Bob.

Why does RFK Jr. continue to spread the lie that the HPV vaccine causes cervical cancer when countries around the world have shown its effectiveness in preventing cancers? Because he makes money on lawsuits filed against the HPV vaccine manufacturers. 1/

DEI only existed because white people were racist. They had the opportunity to hire based on merit, and they hired their unqualified white friends every time. DEI isn’t racism. It’s a solution to historical racism.

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. President Trump now oversees the military and the

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Just published! We uncovered a molecular machine that connects the cell's two major structural networks revealing how cells accomplish precise internal reorganization - a process disrupted in diseases ranging from cancer to multiple sclerosis.

Ukraine, you are not alone. Many Americans, including me, stand with Ukraine and are completely embarrassed today. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

🧬 NEW RESEARCH ALERT! Starr-Luxton Lab grad student Selin discovered how cells control nucleus movement using KASH protein UNC-83 isoforms as molecular switches. Critical for organ development and preventing genetic disorders! 🧪🔬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
