This winter's heavy rains may have caused an increase in the growth of a fungus that grows in the dirt across many parts of California, which causes valley fever. Farmworkers are at higher risk for the fever. @AgHealthUCD@CAPublicHealth

We hurt for our colleagues at @UNC, following today’s gun violence that took the life of a faculty member. This time of year is supposed to be about new beginnings & hope for what’s to come. Our hearts go out to UNC. We offer condolences to those impacted by this tragedy.
Last week, I had the opportunity to drive our amazing cell culture team from the GMP to the main hospital at UC Davis Health 😁 Pictured below are 3 containers, each with a bioengineered stem cell patch inside that were used for a patient in the CuRe Trial! Go team 🎉

In this study, we will develop a lipid nanoparticle based non-viral gene editing approach to correct the dystrophin mutations and restore full-length dystrophin expression in DMD patients before birth.
To better understand their inner workings and medical applications, @TanLabUCD, @AijunWangLab and @carney_lab will build extracellular vesicles like Legos in a new research project funded by @NIBIBgov.

We are very excited to receive this new @CIRMnews DISC2 grant to establish new technologies to treat DMD in utero! This represents a new line of research at the @ucdsurgerycsb@UCDavisSurgery to use lipid nanoparticles to deliver mRNA for gene editing and therapy!
Republicans in Congress blocked President Biden’s attempt to cut the cost of insulin to $35 per prescription per month for everyone – including hundreds of thousands of children with Type 1 diabetes.
Jeffrey Dahmer victim’s mother, Shirley Hughes, suggests that Evan Peters’ #GoldenGlobes win is dangerous:
"There's a lot of sick people around the world. People winning acting roles from playing killers keeps the obsession going and this makes sick people thrive on the fame."
TENTATIVE AGREEMENTS REACHED FOR POSTDOCS & ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS AT UC!
Last night, the UAW 5810 bargaining teams reached tentative agreements on new contracts.
They will be put to a membership vote. Details to come. We are still on strike until a contract is ratified.
@drclairetaylor Just learned of a 27 year old male with long Covid who is unvaxxed is now experiencing major clotting in his hips and needs a double hip replacement…at 27 years old. All the symptoms people talk about getting as a result of the vaccine are actually real symptoms from the virus.
In an update to staff, UCOP blamed the slow progress in negotiations on 'The UAW's apparent social justice agenda' which consists of 'housing, transportation, and parity for international scholars and researchers.' RT if you support the UAW social justice agenda!
We, the Postdocs, Academic Researchers, Academic Student Employees, & Graduate Student Researchers at UC announce a multi-unit strike starting November 14.
United with @sruuaw & @uaw2865 we will make
@UofCalifornia stop their unlawful conduct & bargain in good faith.
“Ultimately the UC works because we do; if we do not, the UC will not.”
After a resounding authorization vote, nearly 50,000 academic workers across the UC system are poised to strike as soon as Nov. 14 if circumstances justify it.
