In med school, I learned that Huntington's disease was one of the most devastating inherited conditions. It caused progressive neurological decline, starting around age 30. There was no treatment. Now, Huntington's has been treated for first time.

This is why we fund science.

Sorry Carolina. Even our oysters are great.

As I told faculty this week, "Our goal is ... preparing students not just for their professional lives, but for a lifetime of growth and service to the common good."

Here are 150 students in the first day of a course on the "Good Life." They get it.

I need to acknowledge our director of grad studies @GregoryRSL for treating all students—current, past, accepted, & rejected—with the kindness that academia can so sadly lack. He’s going viral on Reddit for his thoughtful rejection letters, & I hope other programs follow suit.

We mourn the death of Professor Philip Benfey, who passed away last Tuesday. A prominent scholar, he served as departmental chair during a challenging time, hired many of our faculty members and mentored a generation of plant molecular biologists. https://t.co/lDY1XAiOFt
