Updating this! Would appreciate a boost!
Lost my job recently and it's been rough out there. I'm a podcast editor, sound designer, and VA trying to build my portfolio. Let me craft your fiction or nonfiction audio into its best shape. I'd love to try my hand at a TTRPG! I can also edit videos.
I've written and directed for the award-winning audio drama Someone Dies In This Elevator and have my own in the works.

Investigational lupus therapies: another one bites the dust, in this case Amgen's bispecific targeting ICOSL/BAFF (rozibafusp alfa/AMG 570 in a phase 2b study).

“Pay for grad students hasn’t increased in 20 years, while there has been 50% inflation over the same period,” says Sarah Laframboise, a biochemistry PhD student at the University of Ottawa and executive director of Support Our Science, a student-led campaign group that is organizing the walkout.'

70 years ago, 3 papers appeared in @Nature under the title ‘Molecular structure of nucleic acids’. In an article in Nature today (link at end) @nccomfort and I shed new light on ‘what Watson and Crick really took from Rosalind Franklin’. This thread summarises our findings. 1/23

Great to see this next step in host prediction of viruses. It integrates several prediction tools into one. It's something we dreamed of w/ VHM @JedFuhrman @jessierenjie but didn't have bandwidth to pursue. And of course @simroux_virus @BEDutilh et al. has done a brilliant job! https://twitter.com/PLOSBiology/status/1650535039032078337

'As cancer formation, growth, and progression subvert and repurpose mechanisms of development and regeneration, the nervous system may be implicated in all aspects of cancer pathophysiology. Reciprocally, cancer and cancer therapies can influence and remodel the nervous system, contributing to pathological feedback loops that not only yield neurological dysfunction but can also drive malignancy.'

'The four of us spent the last three years immersed in collecting and reporting data on Covid-19 from every corner of the world, building one of the most trusted sources of information on cases and deaths available anywhere. But we stopped in March, not because the pandemic is over (it isn’t), but because much of the vital public health information we need is no longer available.'

"The FDA is letting the industry know that it’s interested in streamlining the accelerated approval process for new cancer drugs, but that they’re not interested in making it too easy, either. They’re open to the idea of a “one-trial” route to such approvals, but it had better be a good trial."

'The Cures Act went into full effect in the spring of 2021, granting patients access to their records by default, so that they didn’t have to request it. In the brief lull between covid-19’s soul-crushing winter and the start of the deadly Delta wave, the medical profession abruptly found itself staring into a two-way mirror.'

'While in memory and innate cells the genes that encode untranslated mRNAs are linked to effector function, in B cells and the naïve T cell untranslated mRNAs are linked to activation, cellular resilience, anabolic processes and differentiation.'

Chemists, biochemists, pharmacologists, etc., I seek a piece of practical advice. I have a neuroactive compound that I need to get dissolved in 10 ml of weak salt water so I can expose frog cells to it. What is the best way to get rid of the methanol it comes in? I can evaporate it off but I worry that the drug dries to the sides of the tube and never goes into solution when I put water in it (i.e., I can't tell if there's anything in the water at the end or not). Any ideas?

People are calling today the 30th birthday of the web; more accurately it’s the 30th birthday of CERN releasing the source code. I vividly remember websites being a curiosity among FTP servers, Usenet newsgroups, and gopher holes.
Here’s to this marvelous technology, Earth’s biggest Choose Your Own Adventure book, one of the most backwardly compatible systems ever built. Modern browsers may be elaborate interpreter-compilers but they still render the first site: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

An important lesson from the COVID pandemic is diagnostic testing in health care systems should be routine rather than prescribed well downstream into an illness or infection. That includes panels for bacteria, virus & fungal pathogens.
This pandemic emphasized that we know only what we test for. Global health care should be proactive rather than reactive. We have the technology. Let’s do it!
