NEW from me. Each year, 100-200 young people message me seeking career advice. So I wrote a guide for younger people seeking a career in the Washington D.C. policy community.

It includes 4 main keys to landing your first DC job or internship, and advice for career success.

Crafton man reaches age where he can routinely point out where things used to be. More at 11.

[Ginkgo Bioworks @Ginkgo]

Is it possible to manufacture medicines using the natural biological machinery found in a grain of wheat? Last year, @ARPA_H selected a team led by Ginkgo to find out.

To kick off Year 2 of this project, called WHEAT (Wheat-Based High-efficiency Enzyme and API Technology), we hosted ARPA-H to update them on our progress and show them Nebula, our autonomous lab. Ginkgo Scientist Jama Hadji-Yusuf and CEO @jrkelly walked ARPA-H Portfolio Lead Captain James Coburn through the software that powers Nebula, called Catalyst.

We don’t just have an autonomous lab. We’re running some of the coolest science in the world on top of it to solve some of the world’s biggest problems. We’re honored to work with ARPA-H and work towards using biology to support the public good.

Book a tour of the autonomous lab: https://t.co/HWSfUSodH1

@metroadlib And why not match the hand concealer shade with the spray tan shade?

Rep. Tom Cole, a PhD in British history, is thrilled about the king’s visit, despite personal sacrifice:

“I'm not allowed to smoke in my office either today or tomorrow,”, he said Mon. “It's out of respect for the king. Not by order of the king. It’s by order of the speaker.”

@hicharliecotton Try South Capitol and the unit blocks of D St. SW and SE, just south of the Rayburn Building. There are often spots and I never got a ticket even when parking for a few hours there.

[Jennifer Cama @Jen_Cama]

@DuffHokie @7NewsDC Nope, it's written correctly. The verb "was" agrees with the subject "group", which is a singular noun.

I couldn't dream up a better summary of the 119th House of Representatives than "we can't do it one way because we don't have a procedural majority and we can't do it another because it's Friday" if I tried.

Today is the ninth anniversary of the BBC Dad blooper.

Marion is now 13; James is now 9. Some recent pictures are attached below.

We did an interview looking back on the blooper for @InsideEdition, which should be up shortly.

We’re LIVE in Boston and surrounded by innovators who refuse to accept the status quo in health.

Boston is where biotech's brightest minds push boundaries and save lives. That's exactly why we're doubling down here ensuring every dollar drives game changing breakthroughs.

For decades, medicine managed chronic disease symptoms — while ignoring the system connecting them all. When it breaks down, the damage radiates everywhere — heart failure, diabetes, autoimmune disease, obesity. And there are zero FDA-approved treatments that actually repair it.

[Andrew Brack @BrackLab]

Deeply honored that @TIME published my thoughts on why aging should be medicine’s biggest priority. We’re at a turning point: high-risk, high impact science through @ARPA_H is finaly treating aging like the solvable problem it is. Grateful to be part of this moment. https://t.co/uPd6Y3Tf5b

[ARPA-H @ARPA_H]

Thought-provoking read in @BostonGlobe on how anti-aging research could be 🔑 to a strong economy. It highlights ARPA-H as a risk-tolerant agency making promising investments in this space. Health aging is a major focus for us & we’re just getting started. https://t.co/yJce8fGaqx

[Stephanie McMahon @StephMcMahon]

It’s the first time anyone has ever given me a championship belt! Thank you and everyone at the PCX roadshow today. It is an honor to support such an important program and make an actionable impact on pediatric cancer!

[ARPA-H @ARPA_H]

.@StephMcMahon has been a champion for innovation in pediatric cancer since she met 8-year-old Connor Michalek, a wrestling fan with brain cancer.

Today, she spoke with @ARPA_HDirector Dr. Alicia Jackson and Program Manager Dr. Erika Kim about how our new effort... (1/2)

Dr. Steele and her team are changing the game when it comes to understanding the lymphatic system and treating lymphatic diseases.

[ARPA-H @ARPA_H]

Announcing a historic investment in lymphatics research! The LIGHT performer teams will develop the 1st comprehensive diagnostic toolkit to allow healthcare providers to detect problems with the lymphatic system earlier, as part of a routine physical exam. https://t.co/DZcSCReJKQ
