Clear and compelling interview with @baym on the harm of cutting funding to antibiotic research:

This affects so much of modern medicine; many cancer treatments, including regimens with curative intent, are only safe because of effective antibiotics.

Things I wish more people knew about doing science in the US (thread):

[Chris Hsiung 熊 @hsiung_chris]

My lab at UCSF (https://t.co/4FI7uEPTjv) is looking to recruit multiple postdocs across the spectrum of wet/dry lab interests to contribute to our research in synthetic gene regulation, combinatorial genetics, and tissue biology (including liver biology and immuno-oncology). We esp. welcome individuals who add to our capabilities and perspectives in computation or specific biological domains in tissue biology. Where appropriate there would be exceptional opportunities to work collaboratively with the help of junior specialists in the lab, as well as with other UCSF labs with complementary expertise.

"in that most prestigious of [academic] places, the overriding emotion was fear. Fear that grants wouldn’t be renewed, fear that work would be scooped, fear of failure." https://t.co/l65zOir1iY via @TIRscienceblog

[Digbijay Mahat @DigbijayMahat]

I am excited to share a part of my postdoctoral work that came out today in @Nature.

We developed a single-cell nascent RNA sequencing method (scGRO-seq) that, among other applications, can help generate enhancer-gene maps. 🧵1/13

This was ruled a foul in the final seconds of Samford-Kansas in a 1-point game.

[Montefiore Health System @MontefioreNYC]

We are profoundly grateful that Dr. Ruth Gottesman, Professor Emerita of Pediatrics at @EinsteinMed, has made a transformational gift to #MontefioreEinstein—the largest to any medical school in the country—that ensures no student has to pay tuition again. https://t.co/XOy9HZLbfD
