🚨🌎BREAKING: Climate scientists at Cornell just made the extremely alarming announcement that our Planet absorbed almost no CO2 last year. We're now in uncharted territory. Here's what happens next. 🧵1/9 #climatecrisis

1. Sonya Massey - "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus." 2. George Floyd - "I can't breathe." 3. Eric Garner - "I can't breathe." 4. Michael Brown - "I don't have a gun. Stop shooting." 5. Philando Castile - "I wasn't reaching for it." 6. Breonna Taylor - "Why did you shoot me?" 7.

He shot that woman in the face in her own kitchen. Please do not let Sonya Massey's killing leave you unchanged. We have to do more.

Just now. The Nigeria Police Force have gunned down 5 protesters 2 killed 3 critically injured in kaduna. Let it be on record that the police, kaduna state government, KADVS started violence. #EndBadGovernaceInNigeria

Scenes from around 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 in the past days have been horrific. Cannot imagine what it’s been like on the receiving end, either directly or indirectly. Here’s hoping things rapidly improve, those who instigated & perpetrated the #UKRiots getting identified & appropriately punished.

Our story on RNA-templated gene synthesis in antiviral immunity is out today in Science Magazine! We discovered a cryptic gene, neo, that is created de novo by infected cells in a remarkable feat of molecular gymnastics🤸 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

how to show up for yourself:

De novo protein design is great, but nature has millions of proteins- why not repurpose them? Introducing Raygun, a new approach to protein design. It allows you to miniaturize, magnify or modify any protein. We synthesized miniaturized variants of eGFP and mCherry! 1/

Exciting discovery: CSF flow isn't confined to the brain and spinal cord—it also extends to peripheral nerves! Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Groundbreaking research from UF Health FLORIDA #neurotwitter #neuroscience #AcademicChatter

How does sensorimotor (S1/M1) cortex support adaptive motor control?  Come find out in our latest preprint, which spans the development of a full adult forelimb model + physics simulations, neural-modeling for control, complex 🐭behavior 🕹️, large-scale imaging, and of course

Thrilled to share our work on novo protein LYTAC(pLYTAC)/EndoTag in @nature! Using de novo protein design, we created endocytosis triggering binding proteins (EndoTags) to degrade extracellular targets and amplify receptor signaling. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Blown away by these last two days at the Allen Institute and University of Washington. Here the researchers are not only doing the next big thing, but also pondering the next 5 steps that will change the world. It's breathtaking. Let me tell you a bit about what saw that got me so excited.

So excited to be presenting this work from the Siegelbaum lab today! If you’re at #sfn2024 come by our poster to chat and learn more about CA2 and social fear memory🧠⚡️🐁

Yay congrats Diana Maria Gilly Suarez!! Wish I could make it this year!

Jared Boyce We’ve never had a single Black science laureate, ever. Its typically not discussed because its commonplace, a known, a given. As more doors of access are opened to us to reach for the upper echelons of science, I hope this changes one day…

Dear New York Times, Your headlines are a disaster. Such as this one in which you depict Trump’s racism as “his long-held fascination with genes and genetics.” This 🧵 offers other examples. Please do better. I’m willing to help. Mark 1/14

This story started 5y ago with my lab. Spearheaded by fearless 1st authors theopi and Olivia Leland. Theopi is now a PhD student at Brown University. Olivia is a physics PhD student at Brandeis University, a self-taught biologist, and made us love soft matter. A (very long) thread (1/24)
