I know you are feeling hurt and discouraged, lost and betrayed. You ask what you could have done differently; what will you do next? I have no answers, but I know you will be okay. Your dedication to excellence has value and we still need you in whatever capacity you serve. 3/3

The layoffs of personnel at NIH will have a dramatic effect on health sciences research. My heart goes out to those dedicated public servants who helped run the agency that made the United States the world leader in biomedical research and just lost their jobs. 1/ #NIH #Research

[William Messer @PHCL3700]

I don't know who you are or what you did at NIH, but know that I appreciate all that you did to promote high quality research and help scientists achieve their goals. You should have received honors and thanks from a grateful nation; instead you were summarily dismissed. 2/ #NIH

Happy Michigan Day, everyone!

On this day in 2008, what would end up being one of the worst season in Toledo history had one of the brightest moments in program history: a win over Michigan in Ann Arbor.

The Rockets did this without scoring an offensive touchdown.

Congratulations to all the scientists involved in the development of a new treatment approach for schizophrenia! It's a story of perseverance leading to the approval of an interesting molecule that works through activation of muscarinic receptors.

Our systematic investigation of G protein coupling profiles of 100+ #GPCRs driven by the one and only Ikuo Masuho is out after ~10 years of work. We see many interesting patterns with the help of AI. Check it out- there is a useful reference table.
