Check out this new preprint from the lab led by @JunjieXu15. It's been amazing watching Junjie uncover this story in lab the last few years.

New preprint 🎇! 🧵about @JunjieXu15's exciting work on another retrotransposon derived Gag-like gene that has ALSO retained the ability to make beautiful virus-like capsids! 5 years ago we showed that Arc forms endogenous capsids and an obvious Q /1 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

when “Democracy was on the ballot”… every other time during America’s past… There isn’t a single historical example of a majority of white voters choosing democracy. Never. Start there.

I'm loving the eLife publication model discussion. It seems to me that the change improves the journal publication model while not addressing (and maybe exacerbating?!) the structural biases that exclude minoritized groups.

Trying to tell the lab about how IACUC day is like 'Omar coming' from The Wire, and none of them know what I'm talking about, saying shit like 'I was 4 when that came out'

The belief that lack of malicious intent makes it impossible for harm to result from your actions generally guarantees that it will.

Most 90 degree days in SLC in 2022. Last 6 years are 4 of the top 5. It seems like it's getting hotter more frequently, too bad scientists haven't been able to develop a model to explain this phenomenon.

While looking through climate data from 2022 thus far, we realized that in addition to a record number of 100° degree days being reached, we also set a record for the number of 90° days. #utwx

If Saudi Arabia, one of the worst violators of human rights in the world, wants to partner with Russia to jack up US gas prices, it can get Putin to defend its monarchy. We must pull all US troops out of Saudi Arabia, stop selling them weapons & end its price-fixing oil cartel.

I can’t explain it but the energy lately is “everyone is losing it” in a way we haven’t seen since 2020.

Can someone explain to me why private citizens playing golf for a company owned by Saudi Arabia is 'sport washing' but the USMNT playing Saudi Arabia's national team doesn't get a mention of this? I don't think I like either, but is one really different from the other?

And can we all agree neither of those things are as bad as selling Saudi Arabia weapons? Cause I've definitely heard more about how the golfers are legitimizing Saudi Arabia than I have about weapons sales (on main steam media).

Really fun reviewing this preprint as a lab.

Engram Stability and Maturation During Systems Consolidation Underlies Remote Memory

Remote memories play an important role in how we perceive the world and are rooted in ensembles in the CA1 and ACC, however the evolution of these components during systems consolidation has not yet...

This is really very serious, but also its very funny that we live in a world where an ex-president thinks you declassify documents like Michael Scott thinks you declare bankruptcy.

This is terrible strategy by the Dems. GOP doesn't want a vote because they know how unpopular their position is. GOP probably promised 10 votes in the lame duck. GOP will take away promise if Dems lose the house. nytimes.com/2022/09/15/us/po…

Democrats Delay Senate Vote to Protect Gay Marriage as G.O.P. Balks (Published 2022)

The chief negotiators were short of the 10 Republican votes that would be needed to win passage, but hoped to draw more support after the November elections.

Don't know why Dems don't want to get Johnson and Rubio on the record with this stuff. Put Graham's abortion ban up for a vote before Nov, too.
Isn't this kidnapping?

NEW: We can confirm 50 migrants were flown to Martha's Vineyard and are being helped at a church. The men, women & kids said they didn't know where they were. And Florida Gov Ron DeSantis told Fox he sent them as part of his "relocation program for illegal immigrants." (more)
Its really concerning that the Chief Justice of the United States doesn't understand this connection. It shows a naiveté to the point of incompetence. I've thought him to be relatively smart, but I was obviously wrong about that.
