@OdedRechavi This is amazing and incredibly creative! Was there a reason that you decided to administer IP instead of IV in vivo? In a conventional system you would expect better delivery IV, although this is far from conventional. Can't wait to see how this system develops.

@SFBayFerry Any chance that there will be connections between Berkeley and Alameda?

70 years ago, 3 papers appeared in @Nature under the title ‘Molecular structure of nucleic acids’. In an article appearing today (link at end) @matthewcobb and I shed new light on ‘what Watson and Crick really took from Rosalind Franklin’. This thread summarizes our findings.1/23

Amazing work, congrats @AbbyLabbyUC & team!

Celebrating that Jill receives the Leeuwenhoek Medal this year! It is is granted every ten years to the scientist judged to have made the most significant contribution to microbiology during the preceding decade. Cheers @BanfieldJill !

@UofCalifornia should pay academic workers commensurate with their experience and expertise. If they can do so, science will benefit.

Some of the smartest and most accomplished scientists are forced out of academia because of the pay.

[Chris Baehr @baehr_chris]

If you are not aware, postdocs, graduate students and academic workers @UCBerkeley are currently on strike, demanding higher pay and other benefits.

I can't speak for others, but I'll break down the math of being a postdoc in the bay area: 1/

[Chris Baehr @baehr_chris]

Postdocs at UC Berkeley make $54,540/yr

I do not expect academic pay to match industry pay. But academic workers should not have to put their lives on hold to stay in science.

In the bay area $54,000 is not enough to buy a house, have a family, or keep savings.
