This headline made my head hurt. It's contradictory.

@srikosuri Wondering if this supports any of your findings https://t.co/1ZCRDGaQOi

I am humbled by the response to this and I have one ask. Can you share this post so that we can get 75K likes? It is the most impactful thing @sabrevaya and I can do to save our democracy.

Just heard from another family that we've partnered with and things are looking good. while just an observational study, kids are improving while on a drug that we discovered in a fly screen.

Okay now I'm really curious. How do people acquire a story-telling styles that keep people listening? Probably obvious to others but there's a style of pause and cadence that sticks. How do you know what sticks? And how do you adapt to it as a speaker?

Jim Collins' voice is so memorable. I'll never forget BU undergrad class, Signals and Systems, lectured by him. Every class I was very excited to listen and take notes. I think I may still even have that notebook.

On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, let’s help girls everywhere pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math. Our world is better with their ideas and perspectives.

[Vanessa Yanez, PhD @VYBioDesign]

Just saying we can help, means so much.

1) Your well-being must be your priority.

It's easy to become so focused on the end goal that we sacrifice all to get there.

But if you arrive at your destination as a hollow shell of who you are, you have missed the mark of building a better life in the very pursuit of it.

🚨 Today, we’re thrilled to share our study expanding the gene editing toolbox to enable virtually any kind of edit in gene transcripts at the order of thousands of bases. A thread 🧵👇(1/n)

Appreciation Post Alert!Last Thursday in our #S2P2, we had the chance to share with the Tufts #alumni that paved the road for @TuftsSACNAS: Dr. Jesús A. Romo, and @VYBioDesign.

Thanks for setting up the stepping stone for our #organization!

@dkjhaunc OMG 😟😮😦

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

[Feng Zhang @zhangf]

Since the discovery of CRISPR-Cas systems, people have wondered if a similar type of system exists in eukaryotes. Today, we report in @Nature the characterization of Fanzor, a eukaryotic RNA-guided system that can be reprogrammed for human genome editing. https://t.co/aKLMMEBRkk
