I am deeply saddened to have learned of the death, on Feb 5, 2025, of Elisabeth Vrba—a fantastically creative scientist and a warm, wonderful human being. She leaves us a legacy of original macroevolutionary thinking that is still fresh and illuminating.

What amount of eye disease research would have discovered the laser? How much virology would have discovered lipid nanobody mRNA delivery? How many disease genes would you need to find before you discovered CRISPR? Sometimes the hardest problems need discoveries in other fields

Down over 60%. That’s how far federal research funding has fallen compared to this time last year. Every delay in funding is a delay in delivering for the health of American people.

Vaccines don’t cause autism. Neither do random “toxic chemicals” that RFK Jr, David Geier, and others claim. The biggest predictor of autism? GENETICS. We have millions of data points across decades that show this. 1/

Based on what I’m hearing on the bids for 23andMe, I think it makes most sense for customers to download their data first, then delete their accounts. Some of the more reputable bidders are deciding to drop out, given all the challenges 23andMe faces. In the future, there may be

I have participated virtually in Biology of Genomes many times over the years, but this is my first time attending in person since 2012. Being in Grace Auditorium just hits different! #BOG25

As temps rise, productivity in cattle drops, especially in the Southeast where toxic fescue makes things worse. Early hair shedding is a key indicator of heat tolerance, helping cattle stay cooler and perform better. Read more at redangus.org/enews/
