'But it’s important to consider our history. In 1791, Haitians successfully rebelled against the French colonizers, sparking a resistance that would lead to the country being the first free Black nation in the Western Hemisphere. In the ensuing two hundred and thirty-two years and change, the rest of the world has seemed hellbent on making Haiti pay, for fear of global Black liberation.'

Scientific American review of my forthcoming book, "Dr. Calhoun’s Mousery"
"A new biography nearly as quirky as its subject. Dugatkin—an evolutionary biologist, science historian and prolific author who sifted through thousands of pages at the Calhoun archive in Bethesda—is an admirably thorough researcher......Dugatkin captures the grand ambition of a man who gazed at rodents and saw the universe..."

@GottaLaff Hate to say, it's happening everyday and everywhere! The GQP Domestic Terrorists are stoking fear and violence across the Country. I'm Central Florida as I write this, another school has been evacuated this morning from threats. Last week my Daughter's old HS was on full lockdown because a 15 year old brought a loaded gun to school. Seminole County next to my Orange County had several lockdowns and evacuations last week. This is disgusting and preventable. The Right is 100% doing it!!

'We now report that efferocytosis triggers an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1)-dependent tryptophan (Trp) metabolism pathway that promotes several key resolution processes, including the induction of pro-resolving proteins, such interleukin-10, and further enhancement of efferocytosis.'
