Ever wonder what transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (TEI) is good for? (Yes, what’s the #PhysiologicalRelevance?) We showed earlier that worms can learn to avoid pathogens, and use TEI to pass on this memory for a few generations. In our new paper.... https://t.co/oU9P6kBFCq

🚨MAJOR EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Greg Casar just called for a MASSIVE corruption probe into what he calls a “really serious allegation” - that Trump and Musk ran a tariff scam where countries dodged tariffs by signing contracts with Musk’s companies. This is explosive.

Male-female comparisons are powerful in biomedical research. Unraveling and harnessing mechanistic etiologies of sex differences may reveal new diagnostics and therapeutics for the aging brain. More from us in the latest @NeuroCellPress issue on aging. @BBParis1984 @ctmurphy1

Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage & neurological problems, from their reports — and in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves. https://t.co/5FWvboI0Xr

Three reports issued by the agency’s inspector general detailed personal attacks suffered by the scientists — including being called “stupid,” “piranhas” and “pot-stirrers” — and called on the EPA to...

A few months before the measles outbreak, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went to Samoa. During his trip, Kennedy met with and publicly supported leading anti-vaxxers, putting whatever credibility he had behind those encouraging people not to seek immunization.

Trump has no plan to fix any of America’s problems. Not one single policy. It’s wild. People just assume because he’s loud & white that he has the answer, even though he cannot articulate a coherent strategy
