Murthy et al. report that monoallelic loss of function variants in the DENND2B gene give rise to an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, and episodes of psychosis and/or catatonia. https://t.co/0ZcfdFxt1I
Recent claims by the U.S government linking Autism to acetaminophen, vaccines & leucovorin lack scientific evidence.
At SickKids, we’re committed to evidence-based research.

🧠 New discovery: #SKResearch in @Brain1878 identifies a brain condition with #psychosis & #catatonia linked to the DENND2B gene. Using zebrafish & computational tools, researchers showed these changes disrupt brain cell function.

Super stoked to share our new paper in @Brain1878 . This is the result of several years of intense collaborative work across labs and many international borders.

Variants in DENND2B are associated with vulnerability for neurodevelopmental impairment, psychosis and catatonia #RareDisease#Genetics https://t.co/371BYFInkA

explainer for the tech bros. 60% is added on top of direct cost (and equipment are not included). So for every dollar that goes to a scientist, roughly $0.80 is allowable. Then you add 60% facilities/admin costs on top ($0.48). Uni’s final cut is $0.48/$1.48 =0.324 of the grant
Your math is wrong dude. Let me get this straight. All this time you thought a that an indirect cost rate of 60% meant that Universities took 60% of the grant? 🤦♂️
Thank you to @UofT for making your voice heard- Ford's plan to remove bike lanes costs money that is sorely needed elsewhere in our city and makes our communities less healthy and less safe.

Sincere apologies to @fordnation for once again contributing to traffic congestion downtown #Toronto with my terrible habit of riding my #bike instead of my car. Forgive me!

At Council today, with a 21-4 vote, the Mayor and City Council voted for respecting local democracy, and made clear its opposition to Bill 212. With this message, we’re redoubling our focus on stopping this unprecedented provincial overreach and protecting our bike lanes.

@TorontoStar I confirm. I've been riding me bike to @SickKidsNews since 7 years now, reducing pressure on commuters traffic, while helping maintain my own mental balance, and I do hope to continue to do so safely going forward, @fordnation
