GOODBYE Texas. Before I head for the border, I made sure my TX vote counts. (despite the best efforts of @GovAbbott @KenPaxtonTX and @LtGovTX to prevent me from voting)

@SchittsCreek @TelevisionAcad @danjlevy @annefrances @Realeugenelevy @CBC @PopTV @SchittsCreekPop I would love to see them all sweep the Emmys but nothing would make me happier than to have Catherine win and accept the award in character. Moira Rose winning an Emmy in real life would make everything better again.

As coronavirus cases skyrocket across Texas, hospitals grapple with patient influxes https://t.co/O2VUOU3Stp

2/2 Beds are available, but now a staff shortage. 300 staff are in quarantine and NOT b/c of exposure to #COVID19 patients. They got it from community spread. That means that some essential healthcare workers here don't social distance, etc . THIS. IS. CRAZY.

1/2 Note from Houston. Just finished a call with a colleague, a pediatric oncologist at TX Children's. They are admitting young adult #COVID patients overflowing from other hospitals. Now dedicated two wings to the oncoming surge. Now here's the chilling part:

These labs, led by Egli (Columbia), Niakan (Crick), and Mitalipov (OHSU) are among the best in understanding the mechanics of human germline editing. If the results hold, it's a powerful confirmation of potential risks. #CRISPR #genetics #NSGCGenePool

Ouch. 3 new preprints all show #CRISPR machinery in human embryos often causes chromosomal damage https://t.co/MOWoKc8phb Egli, Niakan, & Mitalipov labs. I hope the He Jiankui "CRISPR babies" families are getting WGS & genetic counseling #bioethics #genetics @GaetanBurgio
