Dark times at NIH, but today's first steering committee for Phase 2 of #HTAN reminds us what's at stake. Brilliant cell atlas teams forging ahead, mapping cancer in unprecedented detail. New working groups in viz, compute & translation and outreach will be beacons of light.

Btw if you’re looking for a list of TERFs to block, this is a good one. Block the whole list and new additions will just be automatically blocked. Your Bluesky life will be peaceful and prosperous bsky.app/profile/did:...
