Wow don’t miss this new opinion piece from up-and-coming writer Coron A. Virus who is absolutely 100% not a coronavirus in some sunglasses and a trenchcoat.

At the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers, the UVA community demonstrated their support of the national “White Coats for Black Lives” movement, which has worked to raise awareness of police brutality, inequality and racism.

[Dr Esther Odekunle @EstOdek]

A doctor took cancerous tissue from the uterus of a Black woman (Henrietta Lacks) w/o her consent. And scientists have used her cells and profited from it while her family (tricked & traumatised) have yet to be compensated.

With your silence you have chosen a side.

Do you know why African-Americans align with so many COVID-19 co-morbidities? Structural racism. Food deserts=unequal access to healthy & fresh foods= diabetes, heart disease. Enviro injustices mean dirty air, water. Greed & neglect, subpar housing=asthma

Today I learned the plasmid I’ve been using for the past 9 months is actually missing an important domain and the company I got it from just decided not to put that information on their website. So that‘s fun. Moral of the story: always quintuple check sequences before cloning

Making a cultural reference that his undergrads do not understand, the grad student abruptly feels his own age.
