Thank you for all you did for science the past few years but I completely understand that at some point you had to say enough….

Amazingly short-sighted. May all of those blocking this type of work get C.diff. If the new vaccine passes trials it would be a game changer in combatting a horrible and very common disease.

Looking forward to the start of Scialog: Neurobiology and Changing Ecosystems today! I hope everyone has safe travels to Tucson. See you this afternoon.

There is comparable long-standing list maintained by the office of research at UC Berkeley with early career funding opportunities. You might want to cross-check with what they have listed. They have been doing this for >15 yrs.

Very sad. Has one of your programs been directly affected?

Sorry to hear this. Not the first and won’t be the last. Protect the trainees as best you can. They have the fewest resources to weather these storms.

36 Hours in Tucson, Ariz. Stargaze from desert observatories, try traditional Sonoran spirits and hit the local trails in Arizona’s mountain-ringed second city.

Some great ideas for those coming to Tucson. Desert museum and Sabino Canyon are both terrific. I also recommend Carnitas la Yoca for authentic Sonoran food. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Very cool development. This will be a game changer if it works equally well in people.
