There is currently no BART service due to a computer problem. Crews working over night ran into problems that impact 2 systems we need to run trains. Crews are working to troubleshoot. Full details https://t.co/zVAr1gSaZ2

@TaubertLab Awww great group! Wish we were there! Say hi to everyone!

Fascinating paper. Knockout mutations that cause mRNA decay trigger the up-regulation of homologous genes, allowing cells to “compensate” for the LOF alteration. People who do CRISPR experiments will have to wrestle with these findings. Some thoughts…

I hate how people don't consider this. I worked 3+ jobs most of undergrad to pay for tuition/food/rent and still double majored and did 3 years of research. When applying, people explicitly said my GPA was low and didn't think about what I went through to get to where I am today. https://t.co/9nV9dIpWOc

Huge thanks to @DasLab_Pombe @mmgrabow @GreeneScientist @michaelhoffman @soragnilab @greg_szeto and the anonymous members.

@jessicapolka @robinsall If you wait to submit papers only to high impact journals you will impede your and the field’s progress, and now there is an unfair onus on getting that paper accepted in a top journal (or else) which means you concede to unreasonable demands further impeding your career /2

Ben Barres, visionary neuroscientist and out-spoken advocate for women in STEM, has died. Ben was trans, and used his own experience transitioning to motivate discussion of the many ways that gender can affect academic careers. A huge loss for science.

After selling fraudulent blood tests, scamming investors, and silencing whistle-blowers who tried to speak out, @theranos just got another 100 mill to burn.

… meanwhile, Nobel Laureate Jeff Hall had to close his lab because no one would fund his research. https://t.co/NtKDXtvlHw

Shout out to everyone scoring #NSF #GRFP proposals this weekend. Please remember - this may be the first formal feedback that some junior scientists receive. Kindness and encouragement can go a long way.

It's 11:21pm. Most Americans are asleep. But the GOP members of the Senate Finance Committee just rammed through their tax bill on a partisan vote, under cover of darkness. This process is an embarrassment.
