Giant rats, bright green flies, putrid smells: Unbearable conditions near Boyle Heights warehouse, residents sayResidents describe the conditions they've been living in nearly a month after a fire damaged a cold storage food warehouse in Boyle Heights.www.latimes.comI mean, if your research isn't immediately translational, why bother? /s I dont know if its the heat, or the stench of millions of pounds of rotting food, but I am angry and finally feel awake
Nicholas MancusoMy cancellable take is that way fewer MDs should be in leadership positions at Universities.

I was just on my soapbox the other day about how important science journalism is. Now more than ever.

Very exciting new method for inferring latent disease trajectories, led by the tireless Dr. Urbut with Natarajan and Parmigiani labs. If you're considering a postdoc in this area talk to Sarah! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share 2 important milestones in my academic journey- Our work on “Pervasive interactions between exposures & polygenic risk can inform more effective clinical & behavioral interventions,” showing PGSxC interactions & their utility, is out in #NatureGenetics @genomestake.bsky.social
