@danalittlefield Congratulations @danalittlefield! San Diego’s loss is LA’s gain! Will look for your stories at LAist.

@JonathanWosen @statnews This was insightful, learned what ecDNA is and how Boundless Bio is targeting it.

[Padma Nagappan @SavvyWordsmith]

@ryrivard Congratulations and best wishes to both of you! Onward, together!

@ushamcfarling @angRchen @statnews You captured the essence of it @ushamcfarling. Really troubling considering the critical importance of access to preventive screening

[Padma Nagappan @SavvyWordsmith]

Insightful and troubling story on #colonoscopy coverage, especially the impact on the Black community, by @angRchen

[Angus Rohan Chen @angRchen]

You can also imagine what this might do for health disparities. African Americans already have worse outcomes from colorectal cancer, and additional barriers to end to have an outsized effect on the most vulnerable populations. Docs predict this will worsen disparities

@GabrielSPerna Super busy reporting spree @GabrielSPerna !!

[Padma Nagappan @SavvyWordsmith]

@TanyaMCastaneda So true except when you’re under deadline and then we become efficient enough to compress time! Good reminder Tanya.

Scientists use ‘mini-brains’ to study microglia, the brain’s cleanup crew and key players in neurological disease. My latest for @statnews on a new study out in @CellCellPress

@laurenfimbres 😂 Been there done that with mismatched socks!! Par for the course right?

[Padma Nagappan @SavvyWordsmith]

@SanDiegoMaya @KPBSnews @RTNASoCal Wowza @SanDiegoMaya!! Double the kudos for your incisive reporting!

@RLCscienceboss Congratulations Ryan, excited to see how you expand coverage at Endpoints with your deep dives. (BTW, DMs are closed!)

[Todd Gloria @ToddGloria]

It was an honor to welcome @POTUS to town. I thanked him for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that is funding projects like @SanDiegoAirport new Terminal 1. He was very gracious and told me and @SupNoraVargas that he loves San Diego and knows local government is a tough job.

@ushamcfarling I'd lost count.........thank you for reminding us! Initially, it just seemed like La Niña was going to bless us with copious amounts of rain compared to the dry, warm years before. But now w/ the flooding, land slides and downed trees, it's more than just a wet year.

[Padma Nagappan @SavvyWordsmith]

It was a pleasure to host you for the lab tour and sit down @GrinsteinJ ! Glad you enjoyed it, despite experiencing lab PTSD that took you back to your research days! The @my_helix labs offer a fascinating peak at how #populationgenomics happen at large scale.

[Jonathan D. Grinstein @GrinsteinJ]

Thank you ⁦@my_helix⁩ for the tour of your mesmerizing automated genomics workflow albeit of the expense of some lab PTSD…definitely worth it!! Article for GEN Edge at ⁦⁦@GENbio⁩ coming soon!
