Congrats to @DavidIssadore & @JakeBrenner on winning the $80k NEMO Prize from @PennHealthTech! Their work on DNA delivery via lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) could enable self-administered, lasting treatments for chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer. https://t.co/ISMcZY0flh
As this presidential campaign comes to an end, let me say a few words to the folks who have not yet decided who they'll vote for – or who have decided to sit the election out:
This passage from Michelle Obama:
"I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn. I hope that you'll forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior. His obvious mental decline. His history as a convicted felon. A known slumlord. A predator found liable for sexual abuse. All of this while we pick apart Kamala's answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y'all."
Obama: When I was president, I had been talking to scientists for a while so during my last year in office, we put together a pandemic playbook for how to deal with the eventuality of a pandemic.. When Trump came in, we gave over this playbook and he threw it out. I want to be fair on this, no matter who was going to president, this was going to be a problem… But if you look at a country like Canada, their per capita death rate was 40% lower than here. So just do the math. That’s more than 400k people. People’s grandparents, people’s fathers, people’s moms who would’ve been alive if Trump had just paid attention and tried to follow the plan that we gave him. It might have been somebody in your family that could’ve been impacted. So, if somebody tells you that this doesn’t make a difference, having somebody competent who cares about you.. it does matter and at some point, it will make a difference to them
I could not be more proud that Stephanie Yang, a PhD student in our group, won best paper award this year at microTAS!!!!!! I think anyone who saw her talk this year will not be surprised by this news. Go Stephanie!

Josh Shapiro called Netanyahu "one of the worst leaders of all time." But anti-Israel activists have mobilized against him—and him alone—being on the Democratic ticket.

Graphene Hall sensors are awesome for magnetic cytometry, but sensor performance can be highly variable. What if each sensor in an array was individually tunable to optimize its performance and minimize variability? Vasant Iyer's has you covered: https://t.co/6YAmWMg43L
After a quick break, we’re back with Sydney Shaffer @sydshaffer @PennMedicine to talk about "Tracking cell state plasticity in injury and cancer.”
She opens with an activity she does with her child—tracking biological changes through time using butterflies. #KIsymposium
