Int he following passage, the word inclusivity was included, but is now struck through. Transparency, and protection from inappropriate influence are hallmarks of scientific integrity

Scientific integrity builds on key principles of honesty, objectivity, ethical behavior, transparency, and professionalism in the conduct of scientific activities.

#NSF no longer thinks that "inclusivity" is part of scientific integrity.

Excellent science communication! We all need to start doing this, when we see science (especially the topics in particular that we study) being used in this way.

"It’s a slippery slope from β€œNature loves a crab” to β€œIf crabs are better than others, then some people might be too.” Unfortunately, that’s also the basis of eugenics...To be clear, there is no evidence from the prevalence of convergent evolution to support discrimination or eugenics."

I email, use canvas, notifications, ppts, repeat it in class & I have still students asking me about weights of grades or when grades will be available etc. It doesn’t matter if I use 30 ways to communicate or 1. The amount of students not getting it is almost the same. But increasing every year.

ACTN4 isn’t just hanging around the Z-disc in heart muscle cells. AlphaFold3 predicts it forms heterdimers with muscle ACTN2. And the pull-downs agree: ACTN4 brings down ACTN2 even when actin is out of the picture. #CellBiology

Today’s data drop from our alpha-actinin-4 paper!
1A: Cardiac myocytes don’t just express muscle alpha-actinin (ACTN2)… they also express ACTN4; a β€œnon-muscle” paralog. 1B: ACTN4 is sitting right at the Z-disc, shoulder-to-shoulder with ACTN2.

Skeletal muscle-derived IL-33 mediates muscle-to-bone crosstalk and regulates bone metabolism via CD8+ T cell-secreted CCL5 Our research has uncovered a muscle-bone communication mechanism primarily mediated by IL-33, linking muscle dysfunction to bone loss. This interaction could be a promising therapeutic target for musc...

Please let me know if you find any inaccuracies and I'll fix them. I've already updated one of the figures.

In the last 72 hours or so Donald Trump has:
β€’ Demolished a large section of the White House
β€’ Posted a video of himself dropping shit on the American people
β€’ Demanded a $230 million payout from his own Department of Justice

Also the federal government is still shut down, but, y’know…

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/
