"According to a recent study in The Journal of Clinical Oncology, every $326 that our government spends researching cancer extends a human life by one year. "
How do you measure ROI? I think this is one of the best.

these were our favorite activity as kids - we called them "wild cucumbers", and our wild cucumber wars were epic.
Today, I'll be speaking with Dr. Vaughan Macefield about his first-in-human studies of recording from the #vagus nerve. Where is he now? Italy. Where will he be in 1 hour?

π«π§ π§ͺ I am so thrilled to be chatting with my friend, John Tompkins. We were postdocs together back in the day, and the work he's going to be talking about : the heart's little brain is FASCINATING. Join us today at 3pm EST please!

This is way more important than the bro-spat. Keep your eye on the "prize", not the diversion
This has massive implications:
Undermining the enforcement power of the judiciary
Legislative overreach by controlling court enforcement through appropriations
Encouraging disobedience of lawful orders in high-stakes cases
In plain English, this means if a judge waives the usual bond requirement when issuing an emergency orderβsomething #courts are allowed to doβthey would be stripped of the ability to enforce it through #contempt citations.
Can anyone stop this?
> βNo court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an #injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued...β

So interested! In the LOI, should we specify where the in-person meeting would be held? or would that be sorted when budget is requested?
A thrilling third period! The heart, drive, and teamwork to impel OT meant the win was especially amazing!!
"I don't know" that I took an oath to uphold the constitution. Unfit. Impeach.
This is devastating for science in the US. This whole π§΅ has the latest π§ͺ news in case you weren't chronically on line this week. A lot of it is tough news π
More insanity.
1. Collaborative research gave us vaccines for Ebola
2. Drugs for HIV
3. Malaria vaccines
4. Researched and enhanced tracking of emerging infectious disease threats.
And much more
This is another damaging own goal.

a map of the united states with each state colored according to the number of confirmed measles cases in 2025. Texas has the most cases, at over 250, and is the darkest blue. Inset graph shows the timeline of the effectiveness of the vaccine in the reduction of cases from 1962 (the year before the vaccine was introduced) - 2023.
The US measles outbreak is not abating, and the misinformation that is coming from the HHS is fueling this π₯
*Requiring a placebo arm* for vaccines where there is existing vaccine data to compare to is morally and ethically wrong. #BelmontReport
