After the online vaccination booking shitshow in Massachusetts last week the actual large scale vaccination site in Worcester was super effective and well organized. MA government out of my doghouse. And abrazos to Moderna Pfizer and all vaccine designers and production crews

Projects powered by large-scale screening for dozens of mutants followed by full genome sequencing to reveal entire pathways. This genetics pivots projects into unexpected mechanisms. Hypothesis generating. Two to three author papers, not hundred author Big Science papers.

Re Jan6 txts from Don Jr et al, news analysts missing key point: at moment of txt, it was likely that mob would murder some members of Congress/staffs. As inciters of the riot, Don Jr et al envisioned their 2nd deg murder jail time after trial. Stopping riot = save themselves.

Genome analysis with gobs of statistics that no one would ever check is where today's science swindlers are working their craft.

Proteasome dysfunction triggers activation of SKN-1A/Nrf1 by the aspartic protease DDI-1. biorxiv.org/content/early/…. I am new to this

Proteasome dysfunction triggers activation....ok to tweet work from your own lab? Nic Lehrbach was courgeous to post our first biorxiv.

Arxiv post dedicated to 30 year friend Paul Ginsparg, always stunned the way biologists fetishsized some journals. Finally listened.

Why all the tweets suddenly?Home w back problem. But the character counter is so anti-language. I loved Moby Dick. Not haiku.

Ellsworth Dougherty one of the original nematode biologists. In a 3 window history exhibit in Kaiser hospital entry. He worked at Kaiser research richmond Visiting my sister. Excellent omen to see him celebrated. Few will recognize that name. Deep nematode history. Google him

Happy about the many responses to my photo comments on Ellsworth Dougherty. See ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…. College grad at 18. Antarctic research. Kaiser Hospital Oakland. Worms!! Amazing science connoisseurship. But a terrible end.

And positive sign on the Dougherty omens accurate. My sister 1000% improved. Kaiser Oakland. Awesome. Cured me of dozens of childhood health burps between 1952 and 1973. A grateful shout out to my pediatrician Paul Rousseau. Another amazing life. discoveryislands.ca/news/back-issu…
