So sorry to hear this news of David Botstein's passing: https://t.co/lXIufnmfPK. He was one of the truly great scientists in genetics and genomics, inventing multiple field-changing technologies at MIT, Stanford, and Princton. Truly a once-in-a-generation scientist
For this MS, super post-doc Hiroshi Tanaka chose to manipulate nucleosome stability and assess impact on cell identity, resilience and aging. The data support that idea that nucleosome stability promotes phenotypic maintenance and healthy aging. https://t.co/cT22p9qdq2
A federal judge dismissed the challenge to Racist #SB17, a law banning certain immigrants from owning or leasing property in Texas based solely on their nationality.
The #AAPI community have fought this kind of discrimination in the past, and we are ready to fight again. #txlege

The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
@BBQBryan This map is far less accurate than the Whataburger app. Im in the green but without power. I’m going to an open whataburger tonight for dinner.
@Akshup10@CenterPoint At least a quarter of the streets in our neighborhood is without power. It doesn’t even show up on the map. We are probably not even counted in the 1.4 million. What a joke!
