Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

High-efficiency targeted integration of extrachromosomal arrays in C. elegans using PhiC31 integrase Extrachromosomal arrays are unique chromosome-like structures created from DNA injected into the C. elegans germline. Arrays are easy to create and allow for high expression of multiple transgenes. Th...

New preprint!

It turns out you can integrate arrays with super high efficiency using PhiC31.

I can report that the Takara Bio kits work nicely.

Looking for recommendations for a AAV purification and concentration kit that does not require ultracentrifugation.

We’re using synaptophysin-tdtomato as a synapse marker for glusnfr assays. Things behave as expected.

🚨I converted the list of terminated #NIH grants (as of 3/22) into a google sheet. I added activity codes and award jurisdictions (see tabs for grant count and $ by each). Note this HHS list likely does not include all planned/completed terminations as of this date.🚨 Please use, share and distribute!

Late submission to fluorescence Friday. But here's a synapse that's a little cattywampus and colored to look like the UA flag.

I am speculating, but for the majority of people (unfortunately) the headline is the only interaction with the article. Journalists who continue to follow the scheme of: 1. restate the lie in the title, 2. refute the lie in the body, are only successful at propagating the lie to casual readers.

two examples. www.nytimes.com/article/proj... www.nytimes.com/2024/11/06/u...
