Social media can often seem like a highlights reel.
Papers accepted.
Grants received.
Offered tenure.
Prizes and awards.

This can make you feel inadequate when you compare your struggles with all these achievements. But remember these are just the highlights.

Doctors at a hospital in Texas informed George Pickering that his son was in a state of brain death. They explained that his son showed "no brain activity" and the decision had been made to remove life support.

Pickering, however, was unconvinced by their assessment and resorted to extreme measures by drawing a firearm. He demanded that the doctors continue their efforts to save his son's life, threatening to use the gun if they refused.

This situation escalated into a tense standoff lasting three hours, during which Pickering faced off against the police while the medical team performed additional tests on his son.

The hospital was secured under lockdown as police negotiators tried to reason with Pickering, who remained adamant. In a pivotal moment, Pickering's son, previously declared braindead, responded to his father's request to squeeze his hand, indicating cognitive presence. Following this revelation, Pickering peacefully surrendered to the authorities.

George Pickering II subsequently served a prison sentence of 11 months. Remarkably, his son experienced a complete recovery.

The first in vivo base editing clinical trial outcomes are now reported, following last year’s positive ex vivo base editing clinical outcomes!
Congratulations to @kiranmusunuru , @skathire, @ambellinger, @NicoleGaudelli, & other scientists at @VerveTx and @BeamTx on these positive data.

Such a wonderful study by ⁦@sigalby⁩ and colleagues. It seems like the bacterial RNAP acts as a ‘bookmark’ in Bs spores to ‘remember’ transcriptional programmes upon revival from quiescence. Truly fascinating! https://t.co/KxVXOVAeWG
