“Many rural hospitals would be forced to choose between maintaining services, keeping staff and possibly closing their doors. Patients would be forced to travel hours for basic or emergency care, and communities would suffer.” https://t.co/kOTQlpJDpP

"...If allowed to continue, they will lead to the destruction of a grand but politically vulnerable edifice that has been the envy of the world for decades."
Trump is undermining U.S. science. Here’s why that’s dangerous. https://t.co/SBBqmq1m2K

@QuinaScience @TheEndoSociety @UCIBioSci Congratulations Dequina. We deserved honor and not surprised at all.

Congress’s support of NIH has helped produce 174 Nobel laureates—mostly university-based—and train thousands of young investigators. NIH-funded research drives breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and more. This partnership is essential to a healthier population.

One study found that meditating for 2 months increased gray matter in parts of the brain that control emotions and learning. It may also ease inflammation in the brain and protect against Alzheimer’s disease. https://t.co/TT6vFwXINU

This used to the Republican Party.

It's why true Reagan republicans are supporting Kamala Harris.

She is a true champion. A very inspirational and revealing interview.

Olympic Gold Medalist Sydney McLaughlin on her relationship with God:

“I credit all that I do to God. Regardless of what happens, He’s going to get the praise. Every time I step on the track I pray “let me be the vessel in which you’re glorified”… That’s why I do what I do.” 🙏

The JN.1 variant has taken over in the US. It may not result in a spike of hospitalizations, but it's definitely adding a significant burden of infections and subsequent risk of #LongCovid. Luckily, the XBB.1.5 booster helps protect against JN.1

Congratulations to all the students that participated in our symposium. The event showcased an excellent poster session and highlighted the importance of diversity and inclusion to address health disparities.

[Center for Health Disparities & Molecular Medicine @CHDMM]

We had our 22nd Annual Health Disparities Symposium on August 2 at @LLUHealth's, Centennial Complex. Our program featured poster presentations followed by an evening program with a plenary panel and a recognition ceremony for the participating students.

For decades Affirmative Action has increased the access of millions of qualified women and minorities to education and the biomedical workforce. The SCOTUS decision assumes that we live in a color blind society. This assertion is baseless, not supported by most current research.

@fig_neurolab Thank you for sharing. This is a highly impactful work.

[Marino De Leon @Madeleon73]

Congratulations Perla on earning the PhD degree. Your experience overcoming obstacles have made you a stronger person and a promising scientist.

[Dr. Johnny Figueroa @fig_neurolab]

I am incredibly proud of you, Dr. @perla_oa! You have faced every adversity possible, and today, you complete yet another goal. Congratulations Perla! It’s been an incredible pleasure having you as a mentee. You have broken the glass ceiling for all those that will follow.

I’ve been asked for a list of Novavax studies. Apologies for the long thread but compiling some selected studies into a narrative here, hope this is helpful:
1) Original RCT shows >99% efficacy against severe disease and >90% vs. infection: https://t.co/Vclmm7AKVk
