From public health to high-tech innovation, universities are the workhorses of national progress.

Universities are not passive beneficiaries of government largesse. It is the federal government that depends on universities to conduct the research that keeps our nation healthy, safe and economically competitive.I discuss in the Washington Post. https://t.co/fQX5mwHu4f

Hundreds of naked bike riders have now joined the protest in front of the ICE Facility and now there’s a massive turnout of people here. Portland PD has issued multiple warnings asking protesters to clear the road or they would be subject to arrest and crowd control munitions

John Gurdon https://t.co/QXMjHLKlS3, beacon of a generation that tackled head on the deepest question of biology: the development of an organism. The best tribute to him and his peers should be to remember and follow the path they forged for how to do Science in form and content.

Continuing efforts to hurt the research pipeline, the very late NSF GFRP solicitation no longer allows 2nd yr PhD students to apply. Many students chose not to apply last year because they were told they would have a better change once in their thesis lab

If only there was a study of Tylenol and Autism.... oh wait! Conclusions:  Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis. https://t.co/eAWOBs2je2

I understand and applaud President Trump’s desire to address this issue and to support HHS. HHS should release the new data that it has to support this claim. The preponderance of evidence shows that this is not the case. The concern is that women will be left with no options to

This was fun because it circles back to the very first paper from my lab that showed that Myc is required for neural crest stemness (Dev Cell, 2003 Jun;4(6):827-39), three years before Yamanaka published its role in reprogramming cells to pluripotency

I see critical speech may now be regarded as hate speech Isn't it odd that 'Strongmen' hate being criticised so much Ordinary strong men ( and women ) are not frightened of criticism But that's because they have self confidence, and don't need to be praised all the time

So.. it would appear that having "a leftist ideology" is defined by being gay or bisexual. What say you @LogCabinGOP ??!

Democracy doesn’t disappear overnight – it is vanishes day by day, one lawless act after another. Oversized portraits on government buildings may look like vanity. But they are also a warning. We must take it seriously.

Today’s US Supreme Court ruling allowing racial targeting, that being Hispanic and working a low-income job and not speaking English proficiently ‘constitute at least reasonable suspicion of illegal presence in the United States’, is staggeringly racist. Shameful, disgusting
