People sometimes forget that Cornell has an Ag school - I would check them out!

And so if anybody sees this has a recommendation on good graduate programs in soil sciences...

From one of my former undergrads now applying to grad school:

"Despite how many people tell me we're in uncharted territory, it's still so hard to believe. But the world keeps spinning and research needs to get done regardless."

The kids are alright, but we need to back them up, NOW!

meeting strangers from the internet is Good, Actually

POLITICS IS USED FOR PERSONAL GAIN

One of the major benefits to adapting a class to include your own research? It sure makes the lab portion more fun!! I’m happy to bring #DevBio, evo devo, and comparative anatomy to our pre-vet and pre-med undergrads @ucdavis.bsky.social!

We are pleased to welcome Prof Kristen Lynch for her talk on “Tuning Immune Response Through RNA Processing”
Please join Cell & Systems Biology on Friday Oct 10 in RW432 at 11am for this riveting presentation!

I personally think this is what all states should do that oppose this regime. Talk about a divided country.🤨

RNA journal increases to over 5.0! Publish your research in RNA today!

It's a flyer for Colorado RNA Club's Undergrad Day event on Oct 21st at 1:30PM.

The grad student organizers of Colorado's long-running RNA Club have been putting together this event to demystify the PhD application process for the past few years. Pass along to folks applying to grad school this cycle 🍁

RNA G-quadruplexes (rG4) are generally depleted among single-stranded RNA viruses. However, they can be pharmacologically induced by small molecule ligands. Synthetic rG4s disrupt viral transcription and reduce infectivity bit.ly/4pptqaX

Very excited about next week's RNA Maxigroup seminar from Kristen Lynch @upenn.edu ! Thanks to @rnasociety.bsky.social , @uwbiochem.bsky.social, and the CMB program for sponsoring!

Senator and Insurers Cast Doubt on U.S. Vaccine Panel as It Readies Review

For children born between 1994 and 2023, routine vaccinations are estimated to have saved payers (like insurance companies) ~$540 billion.

That’s not including covid, flu, HPV, and shingles vaccines, which insurers beg you to get and would love to be mandatory.

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

Woody Guthrie’s guitar has been taken in for questioning

is this one date per year? specific to new? or does this include renewals (which might have to shift)?

i refuse to choose, i live in america, by god, if i want katsu curry for breakfast and tandoori chicken pizza for lunch and a sushi burrito for dinner, i barely even have to leave my neighborhood

Education is the enemy of fascism.

I had to look.

This feels like "gain-of-function" research. Original arXiv paper indicates IRB review (& has anonymous authors (?)). Seems like a bell that can't be unrung...

We all know ‘tragedy’ comes from Greek.

‘tragos’ = goat

‘aeidein’ = to sing

So ‘tragedy’ originally meant “goat song.”

Not to be confused with the GOAT song, which is probably “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police
