Also fantastic (unpublished) work on comprehensively examining how presence of specific amino acids or even the false perception of specific amino acids even in their absence can alter lifespans dramatically.

@altnih4science.bsky.social is it true that Bhattacharya has launched a “Scientific Freedom Lecture Series” at NIH and the first speaker will be Matt Ridley, a known climate change denier and COVID19 lab leak enthusiast?

I mean, if true, where’s the science here? Were no astrologers available?

We are a secular democracy. If you don't like the freedom of religion, you are welcome to move somewhere else.

In America, you can be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or anything else. It's written into our Constitution. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Get lost with this garbage.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

How dare her!! 🧐🤨

"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

Total annual budget for NIGMS: 3.2 billion

Total (estimated) daily cost for war in Iran beyond the inestimable cost in human lives and suffering (and gasoline prices if that’s what you care more about, like many do): 900 million dollars (www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...)

We have some genetic sleuth work to share with you! What started as a rotation project turned into nothing short of an amazing collaboration between 4 labs in the zoo that is @basicsci.fredhutch.org. We found an essential histone chaperone long thought to be missing in most animals 🕵️‍♂️

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.
