To build the body plan of an animal, cells must adhere to one another via cell-cell junctions. We now know these assemble as punctate protein complexes containing thousands of proteins, but how this occurs remains mysterious. 1/n 🧪

My dad texted me that he ran into a now-retired professor in the department today, one of my favorite instructors. I can't stop thinking about how this must feel for someone like that, seeing the community you spent a whole career building get dissolved by administrators using faulty data.
It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

When You Don’t Feel Pain: Why the Ability to Hurt Actually Saves Your Life
Not feeling pain might sound like a dream—especially if you live with chronic pain—but pain is one of the body’s most important protective systems. People with congenital insensitivity to pain often break bones, burn themselves, and never know it. Understanding why pain exists reveals just how vital those “ouch” signals really are.

"Miracle Mineral Solution", a chlorine dioxide solution to be ingested is peddled as a cure for Covid-19, autism, and cancer. Chlorine dioxide is a highly corrosive disinfectant.

WI Senator Ron Johnson is endorsing a book that suggests chlorine dioxide can treat autism, cancer, and COVID-19. FDA guidance says ingesting it is potentially fatal.

Public health professionals recommend not taking medical advice from Senator Johnson.

I still can’t believe the National Science Foundation is being forced to move out of their brand new, purpose-built building because the HUD secretary thought his building was ugly.

The Trump administration is destroying the best parts of this country, and it will take decades to rebuild.
NSF

- Forced reorg

- POs down ~ 40% (DRP, most rotators not renewed, retirements)

- Forced move (and we have to pack and clean) to a building with no furniture, little to no conference space for panels, inadequate 🛜, …)

I personally love the boxes they gave us for packing.
“Details matter” 🙃
