A federal judge has issued a permanent injunction blocking the plan to cap NIH indirect costs at 15%. The judge highlighted that the policy would have caused “imminent risk of halting life-saving clinical trials” and “disrupting “innovative medical research and treatments”.

It’s now clear that the @realDonaldTrump Administration computed reciprocal tariffs without using tariff data. This is to economics what creationism is to biology, astrology is to astronomy, or RFK thought is to vaccine science. The Trump tariff policy makes little sense EVEN if you believe in protectionist mercantilist economics.

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?

And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.

Epigenetic systems are “famous” for stable propagation of gene expression states (memory). But these systems, e.g. regulating heterochromatin, can also be repurposed as a powerful mechanism for adaptation. New work with @yeastydoesit (great Xtorial below)!

Every PIs nightmare... a -80 freezer failure after just 2.5 years. Thankfully, we were there when it happened, all our samples are safe and didn't warm above -65 during transfer to a backup. So what have I learned from this?
