Did you know cassava can cause cyanide poisoning if it is not processed correctly and consumed with a protein-poor diet? Read how @igisci researchers @jblphd and @MichaelGzRs are using #CRISPR to ⬇️ cyanide in cassava & improve its food safety in this post https://t.co/kVerusPX1P

@dgleick @1piscesgirl Show this to your colleagues @dgleick And get it on TV everywhere you can. It needs to be as famous as the Rodney King video:
TRUMP SUPPORTERS DRAGGING & BEATING A POLICE OFFICER

[B.W. Carlin @BaileyCarlin]

Reminder that this is what Capitol Police did to disabled peaceful protestors three years ago who simply wanted better healthcare.

Dragged out of wheelchairs.

If you don't impeach and remove a President for staging a coup, what's the point of impeachment.

This is not right.
I'm trying to hold back stronger language.

@kevdox @igisci @thecrispress @hoperhenderson It has been such a pleasure working together! WEF and ASU are lucky to have you. It will sure be strange without you!

[Lea Witkowsky @LeaWitkowsky]

We’ve got a new, improved COVID-9 PCR test for y’all! It uses cheap, publicly available primer/probe sequences and multiplexes them in a unique combination. Highly sensitive, consistent, low background, and cheap! Great work led by @AbbyLabbyUC

[Lea Witkowsky @LeaWitkowsky]

@AbbyLabbyUC @igisci @connortsuchida @JRo_Hamilton @enrique_lins 🎉🙌 I feel so lucky to get to work with you all! Amazing job!

[Lea Witkowsky @LeaWitkowsky]

Thank you!

AND Black voters did the damn thing DESPITE massive voter suppression AND longtime systemic oppression. We saved ourselves. AND we saved YOU. Even if you don’t yet know it. #YoureWelcome

[Lea Witkowsky @LeaWitkowsky]

Holy cow.

For the past four decades UC Berkeley had a fund for eugenics research and somehow it's just now coming to light.

Looking at Black voters in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, it's striking that people who have been treated the worst by our democracy consistently do the most to save it.
