Union County prosecutor says it is but it’s a Murphy appointee so…

As Nobel season approaches and names are bandied about, isn’t it time for Jeffrey Gordon to win Medicine for his pioneering microbiome work?

Potatoes Evolved From … Tomatoes? Dipping fries into ketchup just got a little more mind-bending.

Scientists have spent decades puzzling over potatoes’ origin story. The answer was juicier than anyone expected, @katherinejwu.com reports.

Helmet Lab updates its rating system for football and bicycle helmets Safety improvements to helmets led the lab to update its STAR rating system to ensure it is differentiating the most high-performing helmets.

It’s now a little harder to earn a five-star rating from the #VirginiaTech Helmet Lab.

Victim hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after shooting at ‘No Kings’ march in Salt Lake City Police said it was too early to tell if the shooting was politically motivated or whether those involved knew each other.

Police in Salt Lake City say three people are in custody after a shooting that left a victim with life-threatening injuries during the city’s “No Kings” demonstration.

A child was infected with HIV every two minutes in 2020 – UNICEF A prolonged COVID-19 pandemic is deepening the inequalities that have long driven the HIV epidemic, UNICEF warns Ahead of World AIDS Day.

Think about the relative expense of vaccination versus supporting maintenance on drug therapy for the patient’s life. That alone about 300,000 infants per year in less developed countries as of 2020 UNICEF data

Low GSH is implicated in several neurodegenerative disorders and acetaminophen (paracetamol) liver toxicity. I can imagine my reception proposing this mechanism as a drug target.

Reading @jbf1755.bsky.social’s and enjoying (not certain if enjoying but fascinated by) “Field of Blood”. I knew about the Sumner caning but now I realize it wasn’t an abhoration. It’s helping me see our path the present. Why wasn’t the Cilley story taught in HS?

Been trying to explain this to people not involved with drug development. Oy!

Go check your attics and chests and bring out those Gerry Ford-era WIN buttons and signs. We beat stagflation once. Who thought we’d be here again?

The journal article by Diaz-Guy et al In “Nature”

Childhood Exposure to Bacterial Toxin Tied to Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer Genetic findings reveal how early exposure to a DNA-damaging toxin from gut bacteria may contribute to the global rise in younger populations.

Exposure to an E. coli mutagenic toxin colibactin increases risk of early onset colorectal cancer. Made me say ‘Wow!’ But isn’t surprising on reflection.

A new frontier for biochemists but 120 light years away. Now physicists and engineers need to get a move on to give us warp drive.

See below for the story of Flemington NJ resident Karim Daoud, who was detained by ICE on March 18 even though he he entered the US legally 20+ years ago and is married to a citizen.

Person with measles could have exposed others at N.J. medical center NJDOH is encouraging all residents to stay up-to-date on routine vaccinations.

This measles alert is for people who went to Capital Health in Hopewell, NJ near Princeton 3/23-24.

Out of the game now now but as a young reviewer, I did fear retaliation. A colleague who was an editor at a journal of record confided he gave special allowance to field leaders when giving feedback on addressing comments to authors having powerful lead authors. Med school deans, Nobel winners, etc

‘It’s up to fate.’ Inside the final 35 seconds of Kentucky’s season-ending loss to K-State Players, coaches break down the critical final chances in overtime of UK’s NCAA Tournament defeat.

“Georgia Amoore was a face of Virginia Tech, and, now, she’s become the face of Kentucky, too.” Hmm
Erasing 4X All ACC, 3X ACC POY and 3X AA Liz Kitley, who was and remains the face of VT WBB and its GOAT? This UK team didn’t have the support the VT Final 4 did. No Soule or Traylor equivalents

Brooks got a lot of love HIS 1st year bringing a 1st team AA and a rising star mentored by Kitley. Coach Cavanaugh may have the bigger potential recruiting with SEC glamor and NIL

Her focus groups podcast are a must listen to understand the sentiment one may not otherwise hear. Best done with a Bourbon or Scotch

Any deep thoughts on track & field following the alleged baton assault of a runner by another in a HS relay? Though not involved, T&F event javelin is a sport based on infantry combat leading to something in running events 🤔

Does N.J. wrestling have a violence problem? The Knox case has raised many issues, including concern over a sport based on hand-to-hand combat

Really??? The B1G and ACC had their tourneys this weekend with no issues, as usual.
There are plenty of stories of US parents fighting at baseball and basketball games

Yes it is highly contagious AND it affects the immune system causing “immune amnesia”. The infected are susceptible to other diseases for years after, causing sickness and death

Pubmed is back up after a roughly 12 hour issue. A friend who's a coder tells me it was a DNS misconfiguration. Whether accidental or not is unknown.

Just up. According to the informatics friend who alerted me because his system awoke him with an alarm, there was a DNS misconfiguration that took it down for more than 12 hours
