Proximity-specific ribosome profiling using LOV-BirA reveals two distinct strategies for mitochondrially-localized translation: one for long coding sequences and one for short. It was a pleasure to contribute to this beautiful work from Jonathan Weissman @JswLab and @JingchuanLuo

When you help him rig an election he gives you an endorsement. How nice.

The top 1% already underpay on their taxes by an estimated $163 billion a year. Fewer IRS agents means fewer audits of the super-rich. Why do you think Trump wanted to gut the agency?
Trump admin. caught in a lie regarding mass IRS layoffs. The Trump admin. fired 7,300+ probationary IRS employees in February, with a termination letter stating: "taking into account your performance... your continued employment... is not in the public interest." However, a

HHS's "case" against mRNA vaccines collapses under its own evidence. I analyzed the data used to justify cutting $500M in research. It's been grossly misrepresented. Many of the cited papers actually support expanding vaccine research, not ending it. https://t.co/EFgCsQAD9N
