On the cancer side, we are working on implanting tumors with that express PNMA2 to try and recapitulate the paraneoplastic neurological syndrome from antibodies to behavior deficits. Also want to know if other PNMA proteins have similar biology and figure out their functions in the brain! We welcome comments and feedback. This was 90% the work of Junjie, an amazing student in the lab! #neuroscience #autoimmune #capsids #cancer 6/6

All of the accounts from friends, family, and loved ones who have passed are about to disappear.
This will be a new loss for so many of us that will erase the postings of people who were dear to us.

Just to recap, Clarence Thomas:
-Accepted lavish trips from GOP billionaire megadonor Harlan Crow
-Had undisclosed real estate deals with Crow
-Didn’t recuse himself from a SCOTUS case that involved Crow's business
Are we really going to let him get away with this?

The Fed has been hellbent on raising interest rates to slow the economy, but this puts the burden of fighting inflation on workers.
To continue punishing them by increasing rates to drive unemployment, especially when America’s safety nets are in tatters, is just plain cruel.
