Don’t bring children to these events. Miami police couldn’t handle this. Colombian fans didn’t behave (completely lack of culture). So much to do for the US in the next two years in preparation for the #WorldCup

Multiple reports of people being let in without ticket verification.

Fears of further injury from those crowded in lines. Children among them.

I have no idea how this game will go on tonight. #CopaAmerica

More than 1 million people are dying each year from antibiotic resistance, considered a global health emergency. The pharma industry is doing little to respond. Thankfully academic labs, using A.I. and structure-based discovery, are kicking in. My summary Table of recent progress

Quiero agradecer especialmente a las empresas privadas que se unieron hoy a las operaciones y nos apoyaron con un helicóptero adicional que fue clave para avanzar en el control de los incendios en los Cerros Orientales.
A @navendanog, Gerente de la empresa @AcueductoBogota, por coordinar esta importante tarea y a @GrupoEnergiaBog @TerpelCol @AllianzCol, Fundación Allianz, Organización Corona, @Davivienda, @Davivienda, Colpatria, Amarilo y Valorem: MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!
Una muestra de que unidos somos más fuertes.

Muy chéveres las iniciativas de agarrar pa los cerros y pa los páramos a sembrar árboles, pero no olviden que no es tan sencillo.

Restaurar, que es lo ideal, es mucho más complejo.

This reminds me the mechanisms of translational regulation in Plasmodium 🤩

[Christine Mayr @Mayr_Christine]

Finally out!
We found that mRNAs are not uniformly distributed across the cytoplasm.

mRNA architecture is the strongest determinant for localization.

Subcytoplasmic location of translation controls protein output.

[Bruce Levine, Ph.D. 🇺🇦🥼🔬🧬🧪💉 @BLLPHD]

Many questions unanswered from the FDA report: https://t.co/TxSER3Go0n
Colleagues I've consulted with are very surprised by this as we haven't seen. Questions:
-what was the clinical status of the patients in terms of immunosuppression, prior therapy, conditioning chemotherapy, evidence of prior clonal hematopoiesis?
-some unknown number of patients may not be in follow up as recommended, were there undetected/unknown early warning signs?
-related to the product, what was the vector copy number? Was integration site analysis performed?
*It’s important to put into context the remote though real risk when compared to conventional chemotherapy that has significant long and short term side effects, including genotoxicity and predisposition to secondary cancers.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Any person can see that ordering 1+ million people to move in under 24 hours is not possible. It is unacceptable.

The UN has already deemed the order “impossible” without “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

Humanity is at stake. Nearly half are children. We must halt this

Now that the GOV is again giving out free rapid tests (https://t.co/Iqfh5TrnYt)

If you do turn Positive this fall/winter, your rapid test may tell you more about your status (at the time of testing) than you think!

How much time X how dark it gets

Here's how I think about it:

@brianranes Many times now actually. Sometimes it gets easier, sometimes it doesn’t. Especially when unpredictable things happen 😞
