Took 1-8y off science for family during your postdoc or faculty position? Contact an NIH-funded lab to see if they will write a reentry with you. Please RT these little-known supplements: nigms.nih.gov/Research/Mecha…

Using data generated by the Pediatric Cancer Genome Project (PCPG), an initiative co-led by St. Jude, scientists created a cost-effective and accessible gene panel that tests known driver mutations to improve diagnostics for pediatric cancer. Learn more. ow.ly/WL5650SPEkA

Reminder to anyone who's the "strong friend". Ask for help this week. Ask for support. Let people show up for you. You don't have to do it all and you definitely don't have to do it alone.

Many Black scientists fall through the cracks during their postdoc; I almost did myself. Last month, 70+ National Black Postdoctoral Association (NBPA) members met for the 1st time to strengthen our community.🙏🏾RT to help us reach new members/sponsors so we can continue to grow no matter the political climate

I did a couple raw milk posts this week, and a frequent comment was: “if babies can drink raw milk, why can’t adults?” It shouldn’t need to be said but: Human mothers are NOT cows. Human milk is NOT the same as cow milk. NEVER give a human baby “raw” cow milk.

The fact that if a vaccine changes a serious infection to a mild infection, despite not preventing infection it's STILL a success is a concept which seems to be just absolutely beyond many people.

1/ 🧵 No, you do not always Need Single-Cell RNA-seq Single-cell RNA-seq is popular and powerful, but it's not always the best choice. Here's why you should think carefully before diving in.

It tears my heart to say that my father, Ngugi Wa Thiong'o passed away earlier today. I am me because of him in so many ways, as his child, scholar and writer. I love him - I am not sure what tomorrow will bring without him here. I think that is all I have to say for now.

While everyone was obsessing over CRISPR, a small team just quietly published a paper in Science solving genetic medicine's biggest problem. They created a system that can fix thousands of different mutations at once. Here's how they did it 🧵

Prevention beats cure, which is why it's so exciting that Lenacapavir, a twice-yearly HIV preventative, just got approved for the first time (by the FDA) Why is it such a big deal? When trialled (in women in South Africa and Uganda) there were 0 HIV infections 🧵
